What will be shown at the exhibition
The scope of the auto show (Motor Expo 2026) covers cars, motorcycles, boats, aviation equipment and motorsport. Car accessories and audio systems are also listed. The organizer is the company Inter-Media Consultant Co., Ltd.
An interesting detail: the list of categories goes beyond passenger cars. If you are more interested in motorcycles or car audio, these topics are also included in the exhibition description. However, the list of categories does not replace the schedule of individual stands: check with the organizer about a specific brand’s participation, the presentation of a particular model or the possibility of a test drive.
