Equip Auto Côte d’Ivoire

Equip Auto Côte d’Ivoire will host its inaugural event in sub-Saharan Africa from November 26 to 28, 2026, at the Parc des Expositions d’Abidjan. This large-scale trade fair is designed to gather stakeholders from the automotive, aftermarket, mobility, and industrial vehicle sectors, expecting 150 exhibitors and brands, and 10,000 trade and general-public visitors across 7,000 square meters of exhibition space. The event aims to establish itself as a premier platform for professionals across West Africa, facilitating business, partnerships, and access to international technologies amidst a growing vehicle fleet and modernizing infrastructure in the region.

The fair will cover the entire value chain of mobility, bringing together manufacturers of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy-duty vehicles, alongside suppliers of automotive equipment, spare parts, tires, lubricants, and workshop tools. It will also feature companies specializing in diagnostics, body repair, distribution networks, vehicle inspection, digital solutions, energy and charging infrastructure, used vehicles, remanufacturing, recycling, financing, insurance, and even agricultural machinery and construction equipment. The event's regional ambition extends beyond Côte d’Ivoire, aiming to connect local and regional stakeholders with international manufacturers and solution providers across the ECOWAS consumer market.

The program combines an exhibition format with B2B meetings, conferences, training sessions, demonstrations, and dynamic test drives. Key highlights include the Experience Village, dedicated to demonstrations and tests of various vehicle types and machinery; a comprehensive conference program addressing major challenges in the West African automotive and mobility sectors; and the EQUIP AUTO Africa Awards, which will recognize innovations and contributions to the industry's development in Africa. A gala evening is also planned for November 27.
