Vehicle electrification is racing ahead and the UK is a focal point for technical debate. Vehicle Electrification Expo 2026 takes place 8 to 9 July in Birmingham and concentrates on motors, inverters, thermal management and charging systems. Below we map who attends and how to approach B2B outreach at the show.
What Vehicle Electrification Expo 2026 brings to Birmingham
The event brings together vehicle manufacturers, OEM engineers and tier suppliers focused on real engineering and integration challenges. Exhibitors present innovations in e-axles, power electronics, battery systems and charging technology. The format combines exhibition halls with technical conference sessions aimed at engineering teams.
Practical information and venue
Vehicle Electrification Expo 2026 is held at the National Exhibition Center NEC in Birmingham on 8 and 9 July. The venue supports multiple exhibition zones and conference rooms. Check logistics and stand access on the official site to schedule meetings and live demonstrations.
Exhibitor profile and represented sectors
Expect suppliers of propulsion systems, battery component manufacturers, power electronics companies and thermal management specialists. Fleet operators and integration teams attend looking for scalable solutions for production and testing. Co-location with adjacent specialist shows encourages cross-sector collaboration between materials, battery technology and vehicle electrification.
Conference structure and agenda
The conference features several dedicated theatres and a full agenda of technical talks. Sessions target engineering challenges such as system integration, metrology and component validation. Review the agenda in advance to select sessions that align with your technical and commercial goals.
How to plan B2B outreach at the expo
- Prebook meetings with manufacturers and tier suppliers whose roadmaps match your offering. Early scheduling improves access to decision makers.
- Prepare concise technical use cases for 10-minute presentations. Engineering teams expect data and integration parameters.
- Provide downloadable technical collateral and quick links to demo materials during conversations. Avoid lengthy pitches and focus on compatibility metrics.
- Create a follow-up timetable before the show. Identify company contacts and send technical proposals and pilot timelines promptly.
- Use conference sessions to capture sector pain points and reference them in demos. Addressing specific technical problems accelerates procurement discussions.
Key figures and format
The event offers access to six co-located specialist shows and seven dedicated conference theatres, enabling broad supply chain engagement. The format attracts thousands of OEM engineers, vehicle manufacturers and technical suppliers focused on battery technology and advanced materials.
