Join your hands together and welcome one of the country’s most premium auto exhibitions, the 2022 Philippines International Motor Show (PIMS). The much awaited event venue is the World Trade Center, Pasay City. It is the same place where we witnessed the 2022 Manila International Auto Show as well.
The 2022 PIMS is scheduled to take place from 15 to 18 September. The news of PIMS return was confirmed via the organizer, Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) through a post on its official Facebook page.
The upcoming PIMS marks the 8th edition of the biannual event that attracts several auto brands, new cars, concept cars, and not to forget the enthusiastic crowd eager to check out all the amazing vehicles on display.
The theme for the 2022 PIMS is "Mobility + Humanity: Innovating for the Common Good". Meaning, several new innovations and technologies will be introduced that will not only inspire hope but give a refreshed perspective for the future.
As per CAMPI, a platform representing the biggest names in the country’s automotive industry, has confirmed a brand participation. Included in the list is - BMW, Honda, Toyota, Kia, Isuzu, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Foton.
Associate members of the event include - Mazda Philippines under Berjaya Auto, Volkswagen through AC Motors, Peugeot represented by its official local distributor Astara, and Suzuki Auto Philippines.
Given that the CAMPI group members represent a pretty large section of the global automotive sector. The 8th edition of PIMS will be the perfect representation of the future of the auto sector that includes hybrid and fully electric powertrain.
The event also offers an excellent opportunity for the visitors to have a closer look at the new launches. Visitors can take test drives, experience live vehicle demonstrations, and join car clubs. Also, part of the package are a few special performances along with fun activities and games for the kids.
The 8th Philippine International Motor Show is a must-visit for prospective buyers to take advantage of special rebates on bookings, and purchase of vehicle parts and accessories.
All the above mentioned offerings can be enjoyed by onlookers but at different spots in the venue. For instance, the main hall will have CAMPI members exhibits and daily presentations, in the tent hall one can find other automotive companies & automotive aftermarket booths, the sponsors lobby will have indoor dining, ticketing & registration, & event sponsors display. Also part of the kit is a test drive tents, merkato, and an outdoor display area with truck displays & car club meets.
It is after three years that PIMS is making a comeback in the country with the last, seventh edition held back in 2018. The eighth edition that was supposed to be held in 2020 was suspended due to the rising COVID cases. An interesting fact about PIMS is that it was only once the auto event took place back-to-back for two consecutive years, 2007 and 2008 (the first and second edition), that it became a biannual event.
The biennial event will take place from September 15-18.
Gates will be open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM
