Energy & Fleet Village

The Energy & Fleet Village highlights solutions and technologies supporting the energy transition and vehicle fleet management. It brings together key players specialising in energy solutions, battery technologies, charging infrastructure, retrofit and solutions for professional fleets.

Talent Village

The Talent Village is dedicated to the challenges of skills, training and recruitment in the automotive aftermarket sector. As technologies evolve rapidly — vehicle electrification, electronic maintenance, alternative fuels and connected vehicles — the industry’s professions are transforming and require new expertise.

This space brings together stakeholders from training, employment and business transfer, with the aim of supporting professionals and future talent in the development of skills and careers across the industry.

Tyre & Innovation Village

Introduced in 2025, the Tyre & Innovation Village returns for its second edition at EQUIP AUTO Paris 2027. In partnership with the Syndicat du Pneu, it brings together all stakeholders from across the tyre industry.

The Village highlights a sector undergoing rapid transformation, driven by technological innovation, environmental challenges and digitalisation. With an increasingly diverse offering and the integration of new technologies such as RFID chips, industry players are developing solutions to enhance tyre performance, optimise management and improve data and information across the tyre lifecycle.

Circular Economy Village

Reuse, Remanufacturing & Recycling

The Circular Economy Village returns for a third edition at EQUIP AUTO Paris 2027.

The impact of the new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) on End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) led to an increasingly structured and specialised market.

At EQUIP AUTO Paris 2025, the Village brought together all the key players in the Circular Economy ecosystem: from ELV (End-of-Life Vehicle) centres to shredders, as well as managers and distributors, collectors, marketplaces, and stakeholders involved in PIEC (Post-Industrial Circular Economy) and remanufacturing.
The impact of electric vehicles on recycling stakeholders has led to the emergence of new skills and new players.

Start-ups Village

Innovation and startups have been part of EQUIP AUTO Paris’s DNA. This is why the show will continue in 2027 to bring startups together, investors, and professionals in vehicle maintenance and repair operating in the aftermarket sector or working on mobility-related projects.

This initiative enabled these startups to benefit from EQUIP AUTO’s international visibility and influence among traditional industry players, as well as manufacturers and investors interested in new mobility-related projects.
