12th Manila Auto Salon and 24th Sport Truck Show Opens Today


The Philippine automotive aftermarket industry will take center stage once more as two of the most awaited motoring events will be held this November 29 to December 2, 2018 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia, Pasay City. Presented by Delium Tires Philippines, the 12th Manila Auto Salon will be held back-to-back with the 24th Sport Truck Show.

Conceptualized and organized by Tradeshow International, Inc., there will be over 200 vehicles for display and competition. This event is, by far, the most comprehensive motor show for customized vehicles, performance cars, SUVs, 4x4s, and off-roaders. There is even a retail section for various products and services.

Both events will occupy all four trade halls of the convention center making it 9,000 square-meters of purely show vehicles and automotive products and accessories—a treat for Christmas shopping for car lovers.

“MAS and STS have now become iconic brands in the automotive industry specifically in the automotive aftermarket and off-road fields. This is that time of the year when car show enthusiasts brave our traffic-congested roads just to see the project vehicles prepared by automotive influencers and will be exhibited for four days at the SMX Convention Center. I hope to use these shows as major tools in supporting advocacies related to restoration excellence, responsible modifications among others,” says Sophie delos Santos, President of Tradeshow International, Inc.

Presentor Delium tires will also be exhibiting and selling its full line of tire products for both 4-wheeled and 2-wheeled vehicles.
