JAKARTA - The grand exhibition of Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) is back in Surabaya as the second city in this series of exhibitions. Interestingly, this year GIIAS in Surabaya will be held earlier than usual, from August 28 to September 1, 2024 at Grand City Convex.

The choice of Surabaya as the host is not without reason. This city has a strong appeal in the national automotive market. Based on data on the distribution of motorized vehicles from GAIKINDO, East Java took third place in the national contribution, accounting for almost 10 percent of total vehicle sales in Indonesia in the January-April 2024 period.

GAIKINDO is committed to continuing to encourage the growth of the national automotive industry by providing an effective platform to strengthen and expand industrial achievements in various regions, including Surabaya. "The GIIAS Series series aims to provide a positive impetus for the development of the automotive industry in strategic areas, such as Surabaya," said GAIKINDO General Secretary Kukuh Kumara, in his official statement, Wednesday, August 14.

This exhibition is not just a place to show off products, but also a place to showcase the latest technological developments in the automotive industry. Surabaya, which has been a center of information and automotive education for the people of East Java, will witness the presence of the latest innovations.

For five days, GIIAS Surabaya 2024 will be the city's largest and most complete automotive exhibition. Using the two main areas at Grand City Convex, namely Convention Hall and Exhibition Hall, the total exhibition area reaches 13,000 square meters.

GIIAS 2024 Project Director, Sri Vista Limbong, revealed that this year GIIAS Surabaya will take advantage of the two main hall and the entire pre-function area to accommodate participant enthusiasm and provide maximum comfort for visitors. Outdoor areas will also be maximized to provide attractive programs.

The exhibition will feature more than 30 motorized vehicle brands, including 19 car brands such as Audi, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Mitsubishi Motors, Toyota, and Volkswagen. In the two-wheeled vehicle segment, there will be 10 brands such as Vespa, Royal Enfield, and United E-motor. More than 15 supporting industry brands also take part in the GIIAS Surabaya 2024.

Not only that, the test drive area and test ride will be expanded, providing opportunities for visitors to experience the sensation of driving various variants of their car and motorcycle at GIIAS Surabaya 2024.
