Şişecam to Showcase Next-Generation Automotive Glass Technologies at Automechanika 2026

Şişecam will present its automotive aftermarket glass product portfolio and next-generation glass technologies to industry professionals at Automechanika 2026, to be held in Frankfurt on September 8–12, 2026. Among the solutions the company will highlight at the fair are Head-Up Display (HUD), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), solar control, and heated glass technologies.

Türkiye's leading automotive glass manufacturer Şişecam will take part in Automechanika 2026, one of the international meeting points for the automotive service, maintenance and repair sector.

At the fair to be held in Frankfurt, Şişecam will present its product range in the field of automotive aftermarket glass to the appreciation of industry professionals, while also introducing the glass solutions it has developed to meet the changing technical requirements of the mobility sector.

Coming together with distributors, service providers, repair specialists and other stakeholders of the automotive ecosystem at the fair, Şişecam will exchange views on technological developments in the sector, changing market needs, and glass technologies used in next-generation vehicles.

Safety, comfort and energy efficiency in automotive glass
The solutions Şişecam will exhibit at Automechanika 2026 demonstrate that, in next-generation vehicles, glass has gone beyond being merely a structural component to become part of safety, driving experience and energy efficiency.

Among the technologies to be highlighted at the fair are glass solutions for Head-Up Display (HUD) applications, which support the driving experience by reflecting the information the driver needs into the field of view.

Şişecam will also present its glass solutions compatible with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to visitors. As camera- and sensor-based driving assistance technologies become more widespread in vehicles, it is becoming increasingly important for automotive glass to possess technical features that support the performance of these systems.

Contributing to energy efficiency with solar control and heated glass
Increasing energy efficiency and improving in-cabin comfort in next-generation vehicles are also among the innovation topics in automotive glass technologies.

The solar control glass that Şişecam will exhibit at the fair helps control solar heat gain and regulate the temperature inside the vehicle, while also contributing to reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning systems.

Heated glass solutions, on the other hand, stand out with their applications aimed at improving visibility and enhancing driving comfort, particularly under low-temperature conditions.

These solutions make it possible to support, through glass technologies, not only safety and comfort but also sustainability goals such as reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in the automotive sector.
