CTO Expo 2026: the first meeting point for automotive aftermarket professionals in Moscow

On February 2, visitor registration opened for the International Trade Fair for Spare Parts, Automotive Aftersales Market and Service – CTO Expo 2026, traditionally held at the end of the spring season from 26 to 29 May at Crocus Expo IEC, Moscow. This event is a key milestone for all players in the aftermarket, offering unique opportunities for business development at the most active time of the year.
​CTO Expo continues to strengthen its status as the most dynamically developing project in the field of automotive service technologies. According to last year’s visitor survey:

• ​
• Over 87% of visitors are ready to recommend the exhibition to their business partners.
• ​79% of professionals noted high professional value from visiting the show.
• More than 85% consider CTO Expo to be more important or at least comparable with other exhibitions of a similar profile.
• ​76% of visitors rated the quality of information, navigation and the presence of market leaders as “excellent” or “very good”.

Spring in Moscow starts at CTO Expo

CTO Expo 2026 is the only specialized spring trade fair in Moscow dedicated to spare parts, equipment and technologies for vehicle maintenance and repair. The timing is no coincidence. Late May has become a firmly established date in the industry calendar, when market players sum up the results of the first half of the year and form their strategy for the second half.
​Visitors from previous years confirm that:

• 35% come to find new suppliers and sign agreements for the peak season;
• ​25% study market novelties to stay ahead of competitors;
• 11% arrive with the objective of making direct purchases of products and services.

​Holding the exhibition in the capital – the country’s largest business hub – ensures maximum business activity and convenient logistics for professionals from all regions of Russia and abroad.

Location and convenience: Pavilion 3

In 2026, the CTO Expo exhibition area will be located in Pavilion 3 (Hall 13), which is connected directly by a covered walkway to Myakinino metro station. Visitors do not have to go outside: the route from the metro carriage to the exhibition registration desks is entirely indoors. This saves time and energy in the tight schedule of busy exhibition days.
​CTO Expo 2026 will be held in immediate proximity to COMvex, the leading trade fair for commercial vehicles. This strategic decision by the organiser ensures unique thematic synergy and full coverage of solutions for the servicing of all types of vehicles in one venue.

The entire automotive service market on one site

CTO Expo 2026 will bring together all key segments of the after‑sales service market: spare parts and components, oils and technical fluids, diagnostic and repair equipment, batteries and auto electronics, accessories and tuning solutions, telematics, IT solutions and software. More than 400 exhibitors will present comprehensive solutions for service stations.
​Among the exhibitors are: Shturman, Exovo, AmPoint, ETS Group, MAZ‑Zapchast, Teplovye Sistemy, Enterprise, XCMG, Teploavto, Sorl, Phoenix Filter, AVL Kravt, Orient Alliance, Shacman Rus, Suprotec, Rosneft, GNV Oil, CNRG‑Oil, Phoenix Lubricants, Lubrigard, NPP Kvalitet, Good King, Autodiesepart and others.
​The co‑organiser is once again AUTOCOM Association, the largest alliance of leading automotive component suppliers and distributors. This partnership underlines the professional status of the exhibition as a central business networking platform for the industry.

Tools for efficient performance at CTO Expo

To ensure maximum efficiency of the visit, the organiser is launching several digital services (available from April at cto-expo.ru):

• Online exhibitor catalogue – preview stands, product ranges and contact details of key suppliers in advance.
• ​Special offers catalogue – exclusive deals from exhibitors valid only at CTO Expo.
• Matchmaking system – a business meeting scheduling service that allows you to arrange negotiations with decision‑makers at exhibiting companies in advance.
• ​Considering that 70% of visitors are top managers and business owners, and 76% are directly involved in purchasing decisions, this tool will become the shortest path to closing profitable deals.

Seamless EXPO 2026 synergy

CTO Expo 2026 will traditionally take place within the large‑scale synergy of five industry exhibitions under the EXPO+ brand. This is the largest B2B event in Russia, uniting key segments of the automotive service, transport, construction, mining and logistics industries on an area of more than 200,000 m².
​A ticket to CTO Expo entitles the holder to visit all EXPO+ exhibitions:

• CTO Expo – spare parts, equipment and service.
• ​CTT Expo – construction equipment and technologies.
• ​Mining CTT – mining machinery and equipment (a 2026 premiere).
• COMvex – commercial vehicles and technologies.
• ​Logistika Expo – logistics and warehouse technologies.

​According to visitor statistics, this format is considered convenient and efficient by 91.4% of attendees, as it allows them to meet all their business needs in machinery, spare parts, service support and logistics in one place and at one time.
