Event Overview
CIAAR is centred on automotive air-conditioning and thermal management, with compressors, condensers, evaporators, heat exchangers, pumps, valves and refrigerant-system parts alongside solutions for cabins, batteries, motors and electronic controls. This narrow systems focus makes it more relevant to vehicle thermal architecture than a broad aftermarket or complete-vehicle show.
The 2026 event is presented by the organiser as the 24th Shanghai International Auto Air-Conditioning and Thermal Management Technology Exhibition.
