With a theme of “Steer the Future” and a tagline of “CAMPI: Driving Progress, Empowering Society,” it highlights the automotive industry’s valuable contributi­ons to the country and its economy.

“PIMS is pro o f that the automotive industry remains robust these past few years. We are excited to stage it this year as we lead Filipinos to a future of better mobility and transporta­tion, and contribute to the country’s progress,” said CAMPI President Atty. Rommel Gutierrez.

Aside from these much-awaited new cars, the different CAMPI members will have other surprises as well. In addition, the 6th PIMS will have other activities such as an After-Sales Pavilion where carmakers will show off packages on vehicle upgrades, repair services, and genuine parts; test drive activities and off-road demonstrat­ions; car club meets; automotive seminars and workshops; and live entertainm­ent.
