Aachen Body Engineering Days 2026

Achieving zero-emission mobility is not only a question of powertrain technologies — it fundamentally depends on how vehicles are designed, built, and produced. The Aachen Body Engineering Days address exactly this challenge by focusing on the structures, materials, and manufacturing processes that enable the next generation of sustainable vehicles.

As one of the leading international forums for body engineering, the event brings together experts from industry, research, and development to exchange on the latest trends in lightweight design, innovative materials, and production technologies. With a strong emphasis on technical depth, the conference highlights how new body concepts contribute to reducing emissions — from material selection and resource efficiency to scalable manufacturing solutions.

The programme features high-level presentations from OEMs and key industry players, offering insights into current vehicle developments, future design strategies, and emerging technologies. Complemented by an exhibition of real vehicle bodies and structural concepts, the event creates a space where engineering challenges and practical solutions come together.

The Aachen Body Engineering Days stand for focused, technology-driven exchange — less about trends, more about tangible engineering progress.
