On May 19, 2022, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association announced that it’s changing both the name and the scope of the Tokyo Motor Show in 2023. Going forward, the new name will be Japan All Industry Show, a name that’s meant to highlight the unity of multiple mobility industries working together to move people.
The reasons for this change evolved organically over the course of the past few years. For those unfamiliar, the last Tokyo Motor Show was held in 2019, prior to the global pandemic. JAMA noted that because additional industries outside of the traditional auto industry were also involved, the event had 1.3 million visitors. Although it still centered on automobiles, by including other types of vehicles, it achieved a long-held goal of attracting over 1 million attendees—which is certainly no small feat.
