Intertraffic China Shanghai

Intertraffic China is a highly specialized trade fair held annually, which has established itself since its inception in 1972 as a key forum for innovation and international collaboration in the fields of transportation and infrastructure. The name “Intertraffic” symbolically combines the terms “International” and “Traffic”, representing the global exchange of knowledge, technologies, and solutions within the mobility sector. The event is organized by RAI Amsterdam, a seasoned exhibition organizer with extensive experience in international event management.

A distinctive feature of Intertraffic China is its rotating venue: the fair alternates between the metropolitan cities of Shanghai and Beijing—both emblematic of China’s rapid urbanization and growing demand for intelligent transport solutions. Held annually, the event serves as a catalyst for developments in both the Chinese and international mobility markets, drawing professionals from around the world.

The fair focuses on current and forward-looking topics such as transport infrastructure, smart mobility, traffic safety, urban logistics, and the integration of digital technologies including artificial intelligence and robotics. Increasingly, attention is also being directed toward emerging interfaces—particularly between energy and transport—which play a vital role in shaping sustainable, connected mobility solutions.

International exhibitors showcase cutting-edge technologies and services at Intertraffic China, ranging from traffic detection systems and adaptive traffic management solutions to smart lighting technologies, innovative road construction materials, and automated applications for parking and surveillance. As such, the fair serves as a central platform for stakeholders from government bodies, engineering firms, technology providers, and start-ups focused on shaping the future of urban mobility.

For China, the event holds strategic importance: it actively supports the modernization of urban infrastructure while offering international companies a clearly structured gateway to the Chinese mobility market. Specialist conferences, expert panels, live demonstrations, and thematically curated exhibition zones foster exchange and facilitate the initiation of partnerships.

A particular highlight for professional visitors is the inclusion of practical study tours, which provide hands-on insights into pilot projects and real-world applications of emerging technologies. Intertraffic China is also part of a global exhibition series held in multiple countries, continuously capturing and advancing developments across the transport sector.

The modern Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) offers ideal conditions for international visitors, with excellent public transport connections, nearby accommodation, and a well-equipped, spacious exhibition venue. Those seeking to explore the latest trends in transport technology and take an active role in shaping the mobility of the future will find Intertraffic China to be the perfect platform.

The Intertraffic China takes place annually, and therefore for the fifteenth time previsibly in April 2026 in Shanghai.
