Automotive Testing Expo Europe Stuttgart

The Automotive Testing Expo Europe is considered the world’s leading trade fair for testing, validation, and inspection technologies in the automotive industry. It takes place annually at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center and is organized by the renowned UK-based event company UKIP Media & Events Ltd., known for its specialized trade fairs in the fields of engineering, mobility, and innovation.

The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest testing procedures and technologies in vehicle development. Key focus areas include solutions for driver assistance systems, autonomous driving, battery and powertrain testing, emissions measurement, and high-precision methods such as NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) analysis. The program is further enriched by topics such as software validation, simulation, digital twins, artificial intelligence, and real-time data management—crucial building blocks for the development of safe, efficient, and sustainable vehicles.

With Stuttgart as the host city, the expo benefits from being located in a region with a strong automotive tradition and close proximity to numerous OEMs and suppliers. Its excellent infrastructure and thematic alignment with the regional industry make it a particularly attractive venue. Each year, Automotive Testing Expo Europe attracts over 7,500 industry professionals and more than 300 exhibitors from around the world—including experts in vehicle development, metrology, research, software engineering, and testing services.

The exhibition experience is complemented by a high-quality supporting program featuring technical presentations and panel discussions. These sessions provide practical insights into current trends, regulatory requirements, and technological innovations.

As part of a global event series with additional editions in Detroit (USA) and Shanghai (China), the expo promotes international knowledge exchange and strengthens global cooperation within the automotive testing and development community.
