"With our inaugural motoring event, we will demonstrate the local industry’s strength as an integral part of the growing local and regional auto landscape," CAMPI President Elizabeth H. Lee said.
The show will feature the latest vehicle models available in the market today, as well as promotional activities to be offered by major players in the auto industry.
Confronting the challenges of the new era, auto manufacturers, assemblers and importers, along with the allied industries, will pay attention to the market needs of local consumers for vehicles that provide more value for money, reliability and a lower maintenance cost per kilometer of usage.
CAMPI is also set to promote public awareness about the need to reduce air pollution by supporting the Clean Air Act. CAMPI said this is being done through energy-efficient automobiles, such as hybrid cars and clean-burning diesel-powered vehicles.
Aside from showcasing the latest product technologies, including a range of passenger cars, sports utility vehicles, concept cars and high-performance cars, the show will also feature conference programs and special attractions.
These include the exhibition of collectible auto memorabilia at least 25 years old.
The motor show will also feature a car design competition open to industrial design and engineering students. Participants can also do test drives and avail themselves of auto financing rates. Another crowd draw will be the display of prototype vehicles, organizers said.
