  The exclusive $J/\Psi$ and $\Upsilon$ photoproduction in fixed - target
collisions at the LHC and $ep(A)$ collisions at the Electron ion collider in
China (EicC) is investigated considering different models for the treatment of
the vector meson production at low energies, close to the threshold. Results
for the total cross sections and associated distributions are presented. We
predict a large number of $J/\Psi$ events at the LHC in the rapidity range
covered by the LHCb detector. For the EicC, our predictions point out that a
detailed analysis of the near threshold $J/\Psi$ and $\Upsilon$ photoproduction
is feasible. Moreover, our results indicate that the modeling of the near
threshold vector meson production can be constrained by future experimental
analyzes at the LHC and EicC.
