46-Meter Ultra-Long Car Wash Machine Sold Out at Yasn Show

At the 38th YASN Beijing Expo in March this year, a 46-meter-long giant machine became one of the main attractions in the automotive maintenance equipment section. The ultra-long tunnel-style fully automatic car wash machine, launched by Chepson (Guangzhou) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., drew the attention of countless professional buyers and visitors with its exceptionally long body and high efficiency. On the first day of the exhibition, the demo model was already sold, and by the end of the event, orders were lined up until the end of the year.

This attention-grabbing long tunnel-style fully automatic car wash machine can achieve continuous operation while ensuring optimal cleaning results, processing multiple cars simultaneously. Vehicles are conveyed into the tunnel by a conveyor belt, passing through several functional areas in sequence: pre-wash, main wash, care, drying, and more. Each step operates as an independent module, working in coordination.

The super car wash machine, priced at several hundred thousand yuan, was sold out at the YASN Expo, gaining instant fame. This not only highlights the effectiveness of the YASN Expo but also signals the development trends in the beauty and maintenance industry.

The 46-meter ultra-long car wash machine was snapped up at the exhibition, and its market advantages can be understood from four dimensions.

• First is the efficiency and space utilization advantage. 

From 2020 to 2025, the penetration rate of intelligent car wash machines in China is expected to grow by an average of 75% annually. In an era where "cars are increasing, and time is tightening," high efficiency is the core competitiveness. The machine can simultaneously process multiple cars, similar to a queue passing through customs. What used to be one line is now multiple lines, greatly increasing efficiency. The key is that adding several more lines would typically require more space, but thanks to new technology, it takes up very little additional room. This new product solves the conflict between efficiency and space, and with the large number of professional and precise buyers at the YASN Beijing Expo, it naturally gained rapid popularity.

• Secondly, there is the cost and scenario advantage. 

With the continuous growth in car ownership and rising labor costs in the service industry, the traditional car wash model, which relies heavily on manual labor, faces huge efficiency and cost pressures. The long tunnel-style, multi-car simultaneous washing, and continuous assembly line operation significantly enhance the service capacity within a unit of time. The ultra-long car wash machine is not only suitable for professional car wash factories but can also be embedded in gas stations and other energy retail scenarios, becoming part of the supporting services. This "car wash + fuel" scenario integration model is becoming an important direction for industry innovation.

The 46-meter ultra-long car wash machine was sold out at the exhibition, reflecting three major changes in the beauty and maintenance industry. As the "Exhibition Season" of 2026 comes to a close, a comprehensive review of this year's exhibitions shows that everyone is returning to a more rational perspective. The essence of a good exhibition lies in the professionalism, precision, and vertical focus of the buyers, which means: effectiveness and securing orders.

We can see that the ultra-long car wash machine, priced at several hundred thousand yuan, sold out on-site and received an overwhelming number of orders. This is not just one of the many examples of real transactions and booming sales at the YASN Expo; it is also a microcosm of the profound transformation taking place in the beauty and maintenance industry.

Looking through the product trends at the YASN Expo 2026, we can clearly observe the three major changes the industry is undergoing:

• Trend 1: Intelligent Upgrades from Car Washing to Car Maintenance 

At this year’s YASN Expo, a large number of AI-assisted smart production devices were released, including intelligent scanning plate recorders, personalized interior component 3D printers, micro-water intelligent car wash robots, precision polishing robots, AI-based fault identification scanners, and specialized car wash machines for new energy vehicles. These innovations aim to enhance efficiency for businesses and stores. Intelligence is reshaping the entire industry’s production processes, deeply integrating into every aspect of car wash and beauty services. The hot sales of the 46-meter ultra-long car wash machine reflect the new operational model of auto repair and service shops. It also demonstrates that outstanding new products, if introduced at the right exhibition, can become instant hits and achieve the highest return on investment.

• Trend 2: New Energy Vehicles Create a New Service Ecosystem 

At this year’s YASN Expo, the share of new energy elements exceeded 20% for the first time, an increase of 9.1% compared to last year. The widespread adoption of new energy vehicles has introduced new demands for car wash and maintenance services: battery thermal management requires more intelligent cooling system maintenance; lightweight vehicle materials demand higher precision in cleaning processes; and waterproof protection for electronic components has become a key consideration in car washing operations. Another exhibitor from the northern region introduced an ultra-wide body car wash machine specifically designed for new energy vehicles, which also sold out at the exhibition. Follow-up visits revealed that orders are now scheduled through 2029, with 30% of orders coming from overseas. This is a positive response from exhibitors to the new service ecosystem trend driven by new energy vehicles.

• Trend 3: Rising Labor Costs Drive the Acceleration of Automation 

According to industry statistics, the market size of automatic car wash equipment will exceed 20 billion RMB by 2025 and is expected to grow to 30 billion RMB by 2030. The profit margins of traditional manual car wash methods are being continuously squeezed, and the economic rationale for replacing labor with automation is becoming clearer to more and more stores. We predict that the changes in the beauty and maintenance industry go beyond the simple “machine replacing labor.” A deeper transformation is the shift towards human-machine collaboration, where intelligent devices take over repetitive, high-intensity tasks, and human labor transitions to more refined, personalized, and high-value-added service areas.

In summary, the 46-meter ultra-long car wash machine’s instant success at this year’s YASN Expo reflects an era where efficiency and value for money are paramount. Whoever can leverage technology to free up time and empower better services will be the one to win the market.

Looking beyond the surface, exhibitions are all about enabling good products to precisely match with the right buyers. The CIAACE （YASN Beijing Expo） has been continuously enhancing its effectiveness by tapping into resources from city and county distributors and service providers, while also reaching out to high-quality end-store networks. 

At the 40th CIAACE （YASN Beijing Expo in 2027）, we will see more new products from the industry being launched, and through the exhibition, the latest ecological advancements in the automotive aftermarket, where "equipment handles the tasks of equipment, and labor handles the tasks of workers," will be presented in a comprehensive manner.
