Outdoor Testing Zone

New in 2025!
Demonstration Zone – this new space offers the opportunity to showcase vehicles and technologies in a practical setting.

Outdoor Testing Zone

Located outside, next to Pavilion 7.1, the Outdoor Testing Zone was the must-visit space to experience EQUIP AUTO Paris 2025 in a different way: live demonstrations, cutting-edge technologies, and immersive experiences were awaiting visitors.

This unique area was designed to move from theory to practice and showcased, in real time, the solutions that were shaping the future of the automotive aftermarket.

Exhibitors and Demonstrations

Valeo was presenting demonstrations on autonomous and intelligent driving:

BMW X1 – “Trained Parking”

The vehicle followed a predefined route recorded by the Valeo teams. It was then able to reproduce this route autonomously, without driver intervention, including remotely via a smartphone.

Range Rover Evoque – Drive4U

Static demonstration (vehicle closed). Presentation of the associated technologies, with a focus on ADAS systems.

Golfcarts (x2)

A static vehicle was used to demonstrate parking maneuvers with the BMW iX, as well as to provide explanations on electrification (48V technology).

FMS Incendie was presenting, as an exclusive, the FIRST MOVER ROBOT, a unique solution designed for the safe movement of vehicles during accidents, fires, or extreme handling situations. With a towing capacity of 3.5 tons and a design suited even for very low vehicles, the First Mover enabled rapid, efficient, and secure interventions.

Visitors had the opportunity to discover and test this robot directly at our stand throughout the five days of the show.

In addition, FMS Incendie was hosting live demonstrations simulating electric vehicle fires, featuring real-life interventions using Bridgehill fire blankets, renowned for their exceptional performance in controlling lithium battery fires.

The Bilstein Group was inviting visitors to visit two areas:

MAHLE Aftermarket was bringing innovation and training to the forefront with a strong presence at EQUIP AUTO 2025: an official booth (Hall 1 F063) and a dedicated outdoor area (Hall 7.1 EXT 7) featured the Workshop Heroes Van, a traveling showroom touring Europe to showcase the latest solutions.
