For the first time, the Appliance & Electronics World Expo 2026 will be held at two venues: the Shanghai Eastern Hub International Business Cooperation Zone, and the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

To facilitate travel between the two venues, which are about 30 kilometers apart, Shanghai has enhanced shuttle buses, taxis and ride-hailing, parking services, and group coach transport.

The city's MaaS (mobility as a service) platform, Suishenxing, has launched a dedicated AWE Transportation Service Zone to help exhibitors and visitors move efficiently between the two venues.

The expo, running from March 12 to 15, is expected to attract around 220,000 domestic and international exhibitors and visitors.
