The 2026 Auto Trade EXPO and CV Workshop EXPO will again take place side by side at the same great RDS Simmonscourt venue as in 2022 and 2024 – Ireland’s largest exhibition centre. The 2026 dates are Saturday and Sunday, 10th-11th October.
The EXPO will, as always be held over a weekend, to maximise the availability of attendance of thousands of quality professional trade visitors including the vast majority of the buying decision makers in the Irish auto and transport aftermarket.
For those who weren’t lucky enough to make it in 2024, you really should put this in your diary. It is a must attend event for everyone in the automotive and/or transport aftermarket. It takes place every two years, so speaking from experience, if your business is in anyway connected with the wider auto trade and transport industry, it is a must attend for you.
After all, there is only one opportunity every two years to have all the Irish auto and transport aftermarket and the suppliers and buyers from both of those wider industries in one place over two days.
At the 2024 EXPO, some 8,200 trade visitors poured through the doors over the weekend, and with the addition of the 271 Vans for Business EXPO and 271 Truck & Trailer EXPO taking place directly in front of the venue, an even larger attendance is anticipated.
Some of the leading global companies confirmed for 2026 include: Schaeffler, Bosch, Ferdinand Bilstein, Meyle, Milwaukee, Mirka, Car-O-Liner, ZF, TMD Friction, Snap-on, PPG, WD-40, Castrol, Bridgestone, ALLDATA, Blackhawk, Castrol, Dayco, Euro Car Parts, Ecobat, GYS, Gates, Liqui Moly, NTN, Ring Automotive /Osram, SKF, Toyota, Varta, Sata, and more.
A number of leading Irish firms will also be in attendance, such as Top Part, Tech’n’Tools, Serfac, Ryans Automotive, Shop Bodyshop Direct, Abcon, AGE Ltd, CD Group, Circol ELT, DAF TRP, FG7, Drive Train, Autopaint Supplies, Tyrecare, ARM, Finol Oils, MechanExpert, Pitzone, National Autoparts, Maintenance Solutions, Woodford Diagnostics, Walsh Lubricants, and much more.
