Fairs & Events Calendar

Two years ago the Show welcomed 1 269 467 visitors and nearly 13,000 journalists from 103 countries confirming the worldwide leading position of the Paris Motor Show. Once again the 2012 Paris Motor Show promises to be a very positive event, the four pavilions are already totally booked which has never happened so early in the year! The exhibition areas have been increased and all the major players of the international automobile industry will attend. French and foreign manufacturers have already scheduled to introduce many world premieres.

The Paris Show already expects to present 214 makes from 18 countries. Many manufacturers are returning to the Show (Dangel, PGO, Ssangyong, Subaru…) while other newcomers such as Mia Electric and Mc Laren will exhibit here for the first time, enhancing the 2012 Show.

Equipment manufacturers will also attend, among them manufacturers specialized in alternative energies, embedded electronics as well as many service companies. Furthermore, the 2012 Paris Motor Show is devoting an entire hall to new energies with a large tryout track for electric and hybrid vehicles (11, 000 m2 i.e. double the surface of the 2010 Show) allowing everyone to try out the vehicles of the Future. Once again, an exceptional historical exhibition will be presented on the theme “Automobiles and Advertising”, in partnership with l’INA (the French national institute of broadcasting).

The number of late-night openings has been doubled compared to the 2010 Show in order to make the visit more pleasant (Thursdays October 4 and 11 and Fridays October 5 and 12 until 10 pm).
