Visitors can expect to see some of the world’s most advanced engineering projects up close, including JOTA’s breathtaking Hypercar. Competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship’s top-tier Hypercar class, JOTA’s contender sits among the elite machines designed to the Le Mans Hypercar LMH and Le Mans Daytona h LMDh specifications.
Complementing this is the NIO EP9, designed and engineered to be the world’s fastest electric vehicle. In just 14 months, NIO delivered an EP9 capable of exceeding 310km/h (193mph), accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and generating 3G of lateral force in 100 mph corners. At 300 km/h (186mph), it produces three tonnes of downforce – that’s more than a Formula 1 car.
Another innovation that will take centre
stage is the Press-Moulded MV Agusta F3 RR single-piece body part, a unique example of sustainable composite manufacturing. Produced in a single-stage process using recycled carbon fibre, this integrated fixture demonstrates both technical efficiency and high-volume potential, achieving 40 units per day, per mould.
Elsewhere, CONSTRUCT3D will debut its Construct 2 industrial 3D printer on 29 October at 10:00am, live from the AM Futures stand, N134. Engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, the Construct 2 delivers unprecedented throughput of up to eight kg per day while maintaining exceptional precision, process control and material consistency, which is a step change for industrial-scale additive manufacturing.
Aerospace visitors can look forward to several landmark exhibits too, including FWD Gen 2 Propeller Blade array for Vertical Aerospace’s
VX4 Prototype Aircraft and a full-scale composite vertical stabiliser from Munro Technology.
Adding to the mix, a solar-powered high-altitude platform (HAPS) wing will be on display, integrating ten high-performance Maxeon Gen7 solar cells within a composite skin made from novel TENRON fibres, a material noted for its durability and impact resistance.
The theme of sustainable innovation continues with our display of Toyota’s Hilux prototype hydrogen fuel cell rolling chassis. Recognising hydrogen’s vital role in future clean energy systems, Toyota is at the forefront of developing both fuel cell and combustion hydrogen solutions.
The Toyota Hilux hydrogen fuel cell prototype, built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK, exemplifies the adaptability and potential of hydrogen technology for practical applications.
“The diversity of innovation on
display is what makes Advanced Engineering so unique,” said Simon Farnfield, Event Director at Easyfairs, the organiser of Advanced Engineering. “You’ll see everything from endurance racing technology and aerospace composites to additive manufacturing and clean mobility solutions, all under one roof.
“It’s an unmissable opportunity for engineers and designers to connect, collaborate, and see the future of industry first-hand.”
In addition, Alan Harper Composites will demonstrate its pioneering closed moulding technique in a live demo area, showcasing how vacuum membranes simplify production, cut waste and support both small-scale and advanced aerospace applications.
Complementing the live demos, the company will also showcase large-scale printed moulds that highlight the technology’s speed and repeatability.
The UK’s first automated Cerakote robotic spraying system will also be
unveiled by Supreme Coatings. This new system introduces a step forward in surface finishing, using advanced robotics to ensure consistent, high-quality coatings that enhance durability, efficiency and performance across industries ranging from automotive to defence.
Completing the line-up, FlyingBasket and SkyLift will demonstrate their aerial transport and lifting technologies, already proven in sectors such as energy, telecoms, logistics and construction — both onshore and offshore. And for those drawn to the intersection of tradition and technology, the TWR Supercat will be exhibited, purpose-built for both road and track.
These are just a handful of the innovations to be seen at Advanced Engineering 2025, which is taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 29-30 October.
