History

                   Having braved through the recent economic crisis with considerable difficulty, the Thai automotive industry is brimming with brio again, achieving record sales figures of over 800,000 vehicles in 2010 while production shoots up to 1.7 million vehicles.

                   So it is by no means an exaggeration when all concerned predicate that 2011 will be the best year yet of the automotive industry, thanks to the many favourable factors especially the economy that gets stronger day by day, resulting in the populace having more purchasing power and greater demands for all kinds of goods.

                   It is evident that though the crisis was overcome not very long ago, the automotive markets of Thailand, both local and export, are now thriving again.

                   For example, many Chinese manufacturers have decided to introduce their cars in Thailand for the first time. Luxury sports cars from Japan have chosen Thailand as their production base for both domestic and export markets. And the giant manufacturer that has been located here for a long time has expressed further confidence by expanding the production facilities here.

                   At the same time, new model launching continues in every category, catering completely to the diverse demands of consumers including eco-friendly vehicles with advanced technology like hybrid cars and vehicles ready for such alternative fuels as Gasohol E20, E85 and diesel B5.

                   Moreover, there are eco-cars – quality economy cars advocated by the Government – that are immensely popular among consumers at the moment and attract so much interest in the export market that they are expected to become another “product champion” of Thailand in the future.

                   Differences and diversity in the ambience of hustle and bustle will render the Thai automotive market in 2011 chock-full of colours, not dissimilar to a flower garden in full bloom.

                   With our wish to avail people throughout the land an opportunity to take pleasure in these beautiful automotive flowers, we organize “THE 28^th THAILAND INTERNATIONAL MOTOR EXPO 2011” under the theme concept of:-

                   “Automobile Blossoms in Full Bloom”.
