Vietnam motor show draws big manufacturers in Ho Chi Minh City

The annual Vietnam International Motor Show (VIMS) has opened in Ho Chi Minh City with 13 leading automakers taking part.
The third edition of the event not only showcases carmakers’ flagship models but also, for the first time, motorbikes and yachts.
Spread over 10,000 sq m at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre in District 7, the exhibition displays over 100 of the latest models of cars from Audi, Dongfeng, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, SsangYong, Subaru, Volkswagen, and Volvo; motorbikes from Harley-Davidson, Triumph, and Royal Enfield; and yachts from Tam Son Yachting.
Besides new models there are also special editions and limited offers.
Tran Vinh Tuyen, vice chairman of the HCM City People’s Committee, said: “I am confident that events such as VIMS not only meet the demands of consumers better but also promise to be a reputable forum for Vietnamese automobile importers and manufacturers to hold exchanges and seek opportunities for co-operation and development.”
The event is open to the public from 9am to 8pm until Sunday.
