Held under the slogan “Go for More,” this year’s show brings together internal combustion, electric, and hybrid vehicles alongside smart mobility platforms and emerging transport technologies.

Nineteen passenger car brands, 13 light commercial vehicle makers, four motorcycle companies, and 35 component and service providers—including tyre, lubricant, battery, and garage equipment suppliers—are showcasing their products. Financial institutions are also on board.

The headline draws are UNITREE’s quadruped robots and Deepal’s electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL). Other crowd-pullers include a vintage motor show featuring classics like the Morris Minor, Mini Cooper, Fiat, VW Bus, and Toyota RT40; a “Made in Nepal” pavilion with locally assembled vehicles; and an international business pavilion.

Workshops, seminars, and panel discussions on electric mobility, smart transport, and sustainability will run alongside the exhibition. Organisers expect more than 100,000 visitors by the end of the event.
