Automechanika Shanghai— Shenzhen special exhibition focuses on green maintenance and new energy vehicle talent training

The automotive industry is entering an exciting and challenging era of new energy vehicles. As the number of new energy vehicles continues to grow, the demand for related after-sales services has also soared, far exceeding the service capabilities of existing stores, bringing huge transformation pressure to automotive after-sales maintenance. In response to this, Automechanika Shanghai is honored to invite the exhibitors of this exhibition, "Electric Workshop" and "Superstar Steel Shield", to deeply interpret the potential and trends of talent training in the field of new energy after-sales maintenance to meet the needs of the growing Chinese automotive after-sales market. Automechanika Shanghai— Shenzhen Special Exhibition will be held grandly at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center (Bao'an New Hall) from December 20 to 23.

To achieve sustainable development, China is committed to promoting a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, striving to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. The automotive industry is at an important turning point in transformation and development. The challenges faced by the automotive industry under the dual carbon goals are reshaping the industry ecology. In the automotive energy revolution centered on new energy, automakers and consumers are being led to embrace new disruptive changes.

The China Passenger Car Association predicts that China's new energy passenger car sales will rise to 6 million in 2022, far higher than earlier forecasts. From a more macro perspective, the Carbon Peak Action Plan issued by the State Council clearly states that by 2030, new energy vehicle sales will increase to 40% of total new car sales. However, with the popularization of new energy vehicles and the rapid increase in consumer demand, the talent shortage in the automotive ecosystem has been exposed, especially in the field of new energy vehicle after-sales service. There is a huge gap in maintenance technicians and professional talents that needs to be filled.

Dialogue with new energy vehicle after-sales service companies

The Electric Workshop of Coppola Automotive Consulting Services (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. focuses on professional testing, maintenance and after-sales service of the core systems of new energy vehicles. Mr. Wang Hao, the founder of the brand, said: "The next three to five years will be a critical period for the transformation of after-sales service companies. Traditional fuel vehicle after-sales companies must develop in sync with the rapidly growing new energy vehicle market. In my opinion, this is a very challenging task, because the transformation is also accompanied by all-round changes in infrastructure, personnel, technology, accessories, service capabilities, maintenance sites and end users, which require joint collaboration between government departments, industries and professional colleges and universities to jointly respond."

Automechanika Shanghai will also launch the "Green Maintenance Activity Zone" for the first time during this Shenzhen special exhibition, combining the two themes of environmental protection and new energy after-sales maintenance, creating a new model that integrates exhibition display, technical training, forum interaction, trade matching, new product launch and information exchange. Many technical concepts, experience sharing, and concept collisions will be further realized in the special zone, showing the market future development trends and resources of after-sales products including new energy vehicle core parts maintenance and inspection technology, authorized channels, maintenance equipment and tools, environmentally friendly sheet metal spraying, etc. The brands that have confirmed their participation in this exhibition include Midtronics, Aiwoyi, Dali, Daotong, Gaochang, Jios, Shilide, Tutus, Xianjue Intelligence and Chicago Pneumatic Tools.

Hangzhou Juxing Gangdun Tools Co., Ltd. is one of the exhibitors in this field. Its national auto maintenance sales manager, Mr. Zhou Liang, said: "At present, China's auto after-sales service market is growing. Our company has invested a lot of resources and market investment in the research and development of new energy vehicle repair and maintenance tools. We have also strengthened the training and assessment of employee skills to help maintenance technicians improve their professional knowledge of new energy vehicle intelligent systems and learn the professional and correct use of maintenance tools to further meet their needs for after-sales service of tool products. In addition, in addition to ensuring the highest level of product safety, we have also implemented green maintenance and environmental protection concepts in the product design, materials, manufacturing and use of new energy tool equipment."

New energy vehicles have become an important strategic position to seize the opportunities of the future automotive industry, and the cultivation of talents in the after-sales market, which is closely related to it, is also in a critical development period. In this context, the market is in urgent need of practical service talents such as new energy technical professional technicians and three-electric detection and maintenance technicians. The school-enterprise cooperation model between professional colleges and automotive technology companies will further strengthen the deep transformation of the cultivation of new energy vehicle technical professional talents through the implementation of combining theory and practice. This cooperation model for professionals will have a clearer understanding of the latest development trends in the industry, pay more attention to the practicality and effectiveness of technical talents, and at the same time, it will meet the needs of society and be in line with the market, providing huge employment opportunities for professionals to join the new energy vehicle maintenance and service industry.

For this reason, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have brought many changes to the entire automotive supply chain system, and have put forward higher requirements for the comprehensiveness and information system knowledge of practitioners. The technical training area located in the green maintenance activity area will work with new energy vehicle, battery companies, maintenance equipment and technical training institutions to build real-life new energy maintenance workstations. As one of the partners of this activity area, the Electric Workshop has previously cooperated with the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers to carry out certification training for new energy testing and maintenance technicians across the country. During the exhibition, it will provide maintenance technicians with the latest key technical training for the three-electric maintenance of new energy vehicles, and provide participants with maintenance, testing and after-sales service training for electric vehicle electric drive systems.

Automechanika Shanghai - Shenzhen special exhibition is themed "Technology, Innovation, Trends", focusing on R&D manufacturing, supply chain and consumer market changes. There will be four theme exhibition areas at the exhibition site, including the "Technology, Innovation, Trends" main venue, the "Commercial Vehicles First in the New Infrastructure Era" theme exhibition area, the "Green Maintenance" activity area and the "Racing and High-Performance Modification" activity area, providing participants with the latest innovative technology development trends and jointly looking forward to the future development of the automotive industry.
