Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show: Showcasing the Pinnacle of Automotive Innovation
KLIMS’18, which carries the theme ‘Beyond Mobility’, would be held at the, Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), from 23rd November to 2nd December, 2018.
As the pinnacle of the state’s motoring show calendar, KLIMS is expected to ignite the public’s excitement for automobiles with new launches and groundbreaking concepts with its theme ‘Beyond Mobility’.
Since the announcement of KLIMS’18 early this year, MAA says it has received enquiries from industry players, the public and media members for more information. MAA President Datuk Aishah Ahmad said: “We are pleased about the response to KLIMS’18 as the show would not be successful without the support of industry players and the public. As the association representing members’ interests in the automotive industry, MAA is presenting KLIMS to engage our members in unity so that we could be consequential in promoting a stronger industry for the benefit of all members and providing the public an exciting purview of the possibilities available for their personal or family vehicles.”
The automotive industry players are said to be setting their plans to thrill KLIMS’18 visitors with exhibits that showcase exciting mobility.
Ravindran Kurusamy, President of UMW Toyota Motor, said: “We are delighted that KLIMS is back again this year and being a regular participant at all the previous shows, UMW Toyota Motor would certainly be present. This year, our range is a vibrant and diverse one, demonstrating ever better mobility for all. With ever-better cars, we expect to give visitors a glimpse of the future as well.”
Dennis Ho, Managing Director of Sime Darby Motors – Malaysia, Thailand & Taiwan, said: “Sime Darby Motors is pleased to announce its participation with Ford and Hyundai showcasing their latest offerings. As the sole distributor of Ford vehicles in Malaysia, Sime Darby Auto Connexion’s exhibit would be more than just a showcase. Staying true to its tagline ‘Go Further’, visitors could look forward to special offerings and a rare treat themed on going further in technology and safety. Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors, on the other hand, is all out to impress visitors with Hyundai’s latest SUVs that embody the brand’s Modern Premium concept. Hyundai believes in adding premium value to the car beyond just a transportation vehicle. Be sure to check out what Hyundai has to offer as these are no ordinary SUVs.”
Industry players are leveraging on KLIMS’18 as a springboard to drive better performances and capture bigger market. MAA has forecasted a growth of 2.3 per cent for Malaysia’s automotive industry to reach 590,000 units in Total Industry Volume (TIV) for 2018. The projected growth comes as a positive sign with the marginal decline in TIV for the past two years.
While more auto brands are expected to confirm their participation, KLIMS’18 has confirmed market leaders such as Daihatsu, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Isuzu, Kia, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Perodua, Proton, Toyota, UD, Kawasaki, Honda motorcycles, 3M, Elite Looks car care products, Good life car accessories, High-tech lubricants, Kakimotor car performance and maintenance, NVK Interiors and V-Kool.
Datuk Aishah said: “There is still time for industry players to participate at KLIMS’18. However, we advise companies to confirm their bookings soon so as not to be left out of available exhibition space.”
KLIMS’18 is expected to make its comeback with more than 100 participating exhibitors and attracting beyond 350,000 visitors. For more information, visit www.klims.com.my or contact Trade-Link Exhibition Services Sdn Bhd （info@trade-link-group.com).
