The 45th Tokyo Motor Show Opens Theme: "Move the world from here. BEYOND THE MOTOR"

The show's theme is "Move the world from here. BEYOND THE MOTOR."
It embodies the aspiration to be an event that expands the value and enjoyment of cars each year, gathering the world's most advanced knowledge across industry boundaries to foster new innovation and business.
Over 150 companies and organizations from 10 countries are exhibiting at the show. More than 70 world premieres (global debuts) will be unveiled. All 14 domestic manufacturers and their 15 brands are participating.
A key feature is the large number of manufacturers displaying prototype vehicles for electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving, alongside related technologies.

The organizer's theme exhibition, "TOKYO CONNECTED LAB 2017," features 17 companies and organizations, including automakers, private firms in information and communications, environment and energy, related groups, and government agencies. It offers participatory programs where visitors can easily experience and contemplate the new value and changes brought by future mobility.
Furthermore, the test drive experience, previously held within Big Sight, has been significantly expanded and relocated to the nearby Rinkai Fukutoshin area. Visitors can test drive various mobility options, including passenger cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles.

Asako Hoshino, Chairperson of the Motor Show Special Committee, stated: "The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) is undertaking the 2017 and 2019 Tokyo Motor Shows as a unified initiative, leveraging the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. We aim to bring together the technological strengths of Japanese automakers and strive to make this the world's premier technology motor show."
