Automotive Testing Expo Europe is the trade fair for vehicle testing, test technology and validation and runs in 2027 as part of Vehicle Tech Week Europe — together with Intelligent Vehicle Expo, Automotive Design & In-Cabin Expo and the new Advanced Chassis & Powertrain Showcase, free to attend and with more than 5,000 expected trade visitors. Test rigs, measurement technology, crash dummies and simulation software are our subject — photographed for an audience of development and test engineers.

The exhibits at Automotive Testing Expo range from a fingernail-sized accelerometer to a driving simulator with motion platform. In between stand data loggers, wheel force transducers, crash dummies, climatic chambers, battery test rigs and screens full of curves. We photograph the small parts in macro with side light, the large systems with straight lines and from perspectives that show structure and scale, and the screens exposed so that measurement curves and software are legible — matched to the refresh rate, without banding.
Many stands show vehicles or vehicle parts with measurement equipment: a test vehicle with sensors on the roof, a body with strain gauges, a chassis on the rig. We photograph the application, not just the instrument — so that test engineers recognise where and how your technology is used.
Vehicle Tech Week is an English-language show with exhibitors and visitors from across Europe, North America and Asia. We film your stand as a walk-through, test sequences in motion — motion platform, climatic chamber, battery test — and short statements by your engineers or management in English with a wireless microphone. The result is a 30-second highlight for LinkedIn and vertical clips your subsidiaries worldwide can use. Subtitles are delivered in English or German.
If your company speaks in the conference programme, we photograph talk, slides and audience and record the talk on video on request.
Automotive Testing Expo lasts only two days, and both are dense. Wednesday is opening day with high footfall and the start of the conference programme; Thursday is slightly quieter and suits product shots with time for lighting, interviews and team portraits. With two show days we recommend fixing the date early — the slots before opening for clean stand overviews are scarce.
Exhibitors at several Vehicle Tech Week shows are covered within one time window. The show takes place annually; you need the material from Stuttgart straight away for the show report, website and the next shows of your season. You receive the highlight video and first images on the evening of the shooting day.
Climatic chambers, battery test rigs and simulators with straight lines and recognisable structure.
Sensors, data loggers and wheel force transducers in macro with side light, connectors and labels legible.
Vehicles and components with measurement equipment in application — the use becomes visible.
Your stand before opening, with no visitors in frame.
Walk-through, test sequences in motion and a 30-second highlight, cut on the show day.
Engineers and management with wireless microphone, subtitles in English or German.
A post with your stand while the show is still running gets seen and shared. That is why every package includes finished photos and video within 24 hours after the event ends — first images usually the same day. Two revision rounds included.
A sample from our production: the event recap for your website and LinkedIn — below it, native 9:16 footage for Reels, Shorts and Stories, shot in parallel with the main coverage.
