Renamed Seoul Mobility Show Opens on the 26th

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] The Seoul Motor Show has been newly revamped as the Seoul Mobility Show and will open on the 26th. The Seoul Mobility Show Organizing Committee plans to elevate the status of the Seoul Mobility Show to the level of a 'Korean CES' in line with the trends of electrification and autonomous driving expansion.

On the 10th, Chairman Jeong Manki held a press conference and announced, "Since the first Seoul Motor Show was held in 1995, the Seoul Motor Show has responded to the development of the autonomous driving and mobility industry represented by carbon neutrality, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI), and is now preparing for a new leap under the name Seoul Mobility Show."

He added, "Going forward, the Seoul Mobility Show will leverage the advantages of a B2C exhibition while also developing as a B2B exhibition that encompasses not only the automotive sector but also new mobility such as robots and drones, as well as the mobility sharing economy, becoming Asia's representative global technology exhibition."

This year, the Seoul Mobility Show will feature over 100 companies and organizations from six countries worldwide in sectors including complete vehicle brands, parts, and mobility (Mobility, Mobility Life, Incubating Zone). The Incubating Zone is a special area newly introduced by the organizing committee for startups at this exhibition.

The new vehicles to be showcased at this event are tentatively counted as about 18 models, including 4 Asia Premieres and 14 Korea Premieres. In addition, visitors can experience new technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, electric vehicle platforms, AI infotainment systems, digital side mirrors, and vehicle semiconductors.

This year’s Seoul Mobility Show will be held on a somewhat reduced scale compared to the previous event due to two schedule changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, taking place at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 2, Halls 9 and 10. The exhibition period is 10 days, from the 26th to the 5th of next month. Visiting hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and until 6 p.m. on weekends.
