Advanced Engineering 2017 has announced the show floor features that will be on display during the two-day exhibition and open-conference.

Taking place on 1-2 November at the NEC, Birmingham, it is the only place in the world where you will find - in the one place - a hydrogen powered car, the latest in aircraft landing gear, a battery made 100% from recycled materials, a ground based test rig and a Libralato hybrid engine to name but a few.

Visitors will see a variety of cutting edge technology and materials from exhibitors as well as show floor features that will be in various locations around the different zones, providing something for everyone. These include:


  • Riversimple - Hydrogen-powered electric vehicle: Riversimple’s Rasa prototype, which is reportedly capable of travelling 300 miles on a full tank of hydrogen, was designed to be as ecologically friendly as possible. Water is the only bi-product expelled from the exhaust. The vehicle incorporates an interior trim made from recycled plastics bottles and lightweight materials such as a carbon-composite chassis.

  • Scott Bader - Caterham car: A Caterham car will be on show that has used Scott Bader’s innovative Crestapol resin, which comes in two forms: Glass reinforced plastic and carbon fibre reinforced plastic.

  • REAP - Bike: A UK made carbon bike with high speed made possible with the use of composite materials. Partnered with Bentley, Gibbs and Boeing, these bikes have been made by experts in aerodynamics.

  • Cristex - Urban Land Rover: A Land Rover using composites processing technology from Cristex, which will show up close the use of visible cosmetic grade carbon fibre.

Alison Willis, industrial divisional director at Easyfairs, the organisers of the exhibition, said: “We’re very excited about this year’s exhibition. With pre-registration higher than this time last year and a wealth of names confirmed as exhibitors and conference speakers, such as Boeing; Nissan; Hexcel and Dassault Systemes, we are set to have two interesting days.

“The show floor features this year are innovative and mostly focused on sustainable methods of travel, which is key to the ever-changing world of advanced engineering. Not only are these features great to look at but they are built by forward-thinking companies who are changing their industries.”

Advanced Engineering 2017 comprises five co-locating zones:


  • Aero Engineering

  • Composites Engineering

  • Automotive Engineering

  • Performance Metals Engineering

  • Connected Manufacturing

Advanced Engineering 2017 is newly ‘Continuing Professional Development (CPD)’ - accredited for this year, by the CPD Certification Service. Recognised by employers, and which complements the policies of professional institutes and academic bodies, it also acknowledges the effective professional development visitors of the conference can gain. Visitors will broaden their knowledge around the various advanced engineering sectors and the interesting and technical topics that will be discussed.

Now in its ninth year, the show is set for record breaking visitor numbers, bringing together over 600 firms - all looking to source, specify and invest in the most up-to-date products and explore the latest industry innovations.
