Tashkent is preparing for a traditional major event: automotive industry, commercial transport, and construction equipment on a single platform
On October 21–23, 2026, Central Asian Expo Uzbekistan (CAEx) will bring together three international trade exhibitions in a single venue at once: Automechanika Tashkent, Comtrux Tashkent, and Bautrux Tashkent. They will cover three interconnected areas: automotive components and aftermarket services, commercial transport, and construction machinery.
Tashkent is preparing for a traditional major event: the automotive industry, commercial transport, and construction machinery will gather on a single platform.
For three days, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and buyers can go through the entire process on a single platform, from initial introductions to conducting business negotiations and concluding deals.
503 companies from 19 countries around the world will display their products, technologies, and solutions: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Turkey, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The total exhibition area covers 25,000 m², and more than 20,000 professional visitors are expected to attend the event.
Dilfuza Samandarova, head of Business Media Central Asia (BMCA) — the organizer of the three exhibitions held under the license of Messe Frankfurt and the official representative of Messe Frankfurt in Central Asia — states: "Uzbekistan is becoming an important hub between Europe and Asia, and our exhibitions are growing alongside this potential, helping international companies find partners and discover new markets."
