Hanoi (VNA) - The Vietnam Motor Show (VMS), the largest playground for the automotive industry in Vietnam, will return in October this year after a one-year hiatus due to difficult economic conditions, bringing together many global brands.
With a theme on technology and environment, the event will be organised by the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers' Association (VAMA) and the Vietnam Automobile Importers Association (VIVA), in collaboration with the Vehicles Importers Vietnam Association (VIVA), in Ho Chi Minh City from October 23 to 27.

The exhibition will also offer a venue for hundreds of brands from supporting industries, components, spare parts, and related sectors, meeting the demand of car enthusiasts and providing solutions for owning cars and motorcycles in Vietnam.
VMS 2024 is expected to become an attractive playground with diverse and novel experiences for car enthusiasts as exhibitors will showcase the latest smart and environmentally friendly technologies.
This year's VMS also emphasises solutions for developing green and clean energy and reducing emissions, reflecting the commitment of VAMA and VIVA to support Vietnam's efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 as pledged at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26).
On the sidelines of the event, there will be a seminar on the electrification of transport towards a green energy transition, where experts will discuss the trend and potential development of electric vehicles, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment in Vietnam.
