As the global new energy vehicle industry advances in depth and thermal management technology becomes a critical bottleneck for overall vehicle performance, the 24th Shanghai International Automobile Air Conditioning & Thermal Management Technology Exhibition (CIAAR 2026) will be grandly held from November 16 to 18, 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Professional visitor pre-registration is now officially online, and we cordially invite industry professionals from around the world to join us.

As a landmark exhibition with 24 years of deep roots in the mobile refrigeration sector, CIAAR has grown into a highly influential professional trade platform in Asia and globally. This year's edition will feature an exhibition area exceeding 40,000 square meters, with multiple dedicated zones comprehensively covering core sectors including automotive air conditioning systems, new energy vehicle thermal management, parking air conditioners, and lithium battery energy storage temperature control. Over 700 leading domestic and international companies are expected to showcase cutting-edge products and innovative technologies, attracting professional buyers, OEM purchasing delegations, and channel distributors from more than 30 countries and regions. Both the scale and international reach of the exhibition are set to reach historic highs.

CIAAR 2026 is not only a window for product displays but also a gathering ground for industry consensus. Leveraging its strong industry resources and proven exhibition expertise, the event places a strategic focus on the iterative upgrading and commercial deployment of new energy vehicle thermal management technologies. The exhibit scope covers the entire value chain, including compressors, condensers, evaporators, heat pump systems, battery thermal management solutions, intelligent domain controllers, and more – systematically presenting a complete technology landscape from components to system integration, and from traditional refrigeration to low-carbon thermal management.

In parallel, a number of high-level technical forums and supply-demand matchmaking events will be held during the show. Notably, the 8th Automotive Air Conditioning Thermal Management Summit Forum, co-organized by Jiazhidao Automotive and the Shanghai Society of Transportation Engineering, will once again bring together leading experts, top-tier corporate representatives, and research institutions to discuss industry standards, technology trends, and market opportunities – underscoring the exhibition's professional value in terms of content depth and industry leadership. Additional technical seminars will also debut the latest products and technologies to attendees.
