Intermodal Asia 2026 Review: Big Things Happening in Shanghai
Shanghai’s container community sets the agenda every spring. Intermodal Asia 2026 puts equipment owners, lessors, tech providers, depots, ports, rail and road logistics in one hall so you can compare kit, cross-check capacity and pricing, and leave with a concrete supplier plan for Asia lanes.

Make the hall work
- Block 60–90 minutes daily for like-for-like comparisons
- Collect spec sheets, API lists, warranty and lead times
- Leave each stand with one next step: trial, audit, or pricing
Fleet and box strategy
- Balance lease terms with utilisation and redelivery risk
- Lock depot partners on your heaviest lanes
- Track reefer and tank compliance requirements
Data and visibility
- Check device battery life, coverage, and certifications
- Map alerts to claims, dwell, and demurrage
- Confirm integration to TMS and depot systems
Treat Intermodal Asia 2026 like a working sprint. Walk in with target box counts, lease terms, and two upgrade priorities; walk out with signed trials, depot partners on key lanes, and a clear data plan for tracking and M&R. Use mornings for demos, mid-day for like-for-like comparisons, and the final afternoon to lock pricing and redelivery conditions. On the flight home, send a one-page recap with decisions, costs, and dates so your 2026–2027 equipment plan moves from hall conversations to scheduled actions.
