Vehicle Electrification Expo 2027

How it compares

The Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart is the broader international comparison for battery buyers and manufacturers. Its supply chain runs through materials, production equipment, cells, packs and hybrid/electric-vehicle technology, and its audience includes major OEMs and international suppliers. Choose Stuttgart when the priority is comparing battery manufacturing options across Europe and connecting with a wider international supply base. Birmingham has a stronger reason to be on the calendar when the project centers on UK vehicle development and the relationship between components, materials and integration.

Cenex Expo approaches the sector through net-zero transport innovation and connected automated mobility. Government agencies, researchers and technology developers are prominent, and ride-and-drive demonstrations have been part of its format. That makes it a useful comparison for innovation partnerships and vehicle demonstrations; its 2026 show was postponed.

Birmingham combines these conversations differently. Its automotive focus sits beside battery production, materials science, ceramics and energy infrastructure, so the trip works well when the same engineering problem crosses several disciplines. A team investigating battery-enclosure insulation or thermal performance can compare component engineering with testing and materials suppliers, while charging specialists can also explore The Distributed Energy Show and The Energy Storage Show.

The right trip for UK vehicle developers and suppliers who need to connect powertrain engineering with battery, materials and energy expertise.

Who exhibits

The 2026 exhibitor mix connected vehicle integration with the surrounding battery and materials supply chain. Rockfort Engineering represented vehicle systems engineering, Albright International DC switching, and WATT Electric Vehicle Company vehicle platforms and structures. Nikon Metrology, Element Materials Technology and Thermo Fisher Scientific added measurement, testing and characterization. Together, these companies show why the floor matters to teams solving performance and manufacturing problems across an EV program.

Vehicle Electrification Expo 2027

For 2027, the event cluster expands to six specialist shows and seven conference theaters. The Energy Storage Show and The Distributed Energy Show join the battery, advanced-materials, ceramics and vehicle-electrification themes. That expands the audience from vehicle and battery engineering into storage integration, network operations and onsite power. For teams developing charging infrastructure or electrifying industrial fleets, the wider floor connects vehicle requirements with the energy systems that support them.

• For battery-enclosure insulation, coatings or heat-management questions, combine the vehicle floor with The Advanced Materials Show and The Advanced Ceramics Show; the co-location brings the material and component conversations together.
• For depot charging or industrial-fleet electrification, include The Distributed Energy Show and The Energy Storage Show to compare the generation, storage and energy-management side of the project.
