Like the Frankfurt and Paris shows, the Tokyo Motor Show occurs each and every other year. As you can imagine, the Tokyo auto show is the party for coming-out of all the latest from the Japanese Big Three: Nissan, Honda and Toyota.

But as the Chinese auto business has grown during the last ten years, the Tokyo Motor Show is rapidly gaining even much more relevance as a critical international auto show.

One of the Tokyo auto show's most special elements is its wealth of concept car. From gentle soon-to-be manufacture models to outrageously designed one-off contraptions, Tokyo's auto show floor is frequently filled with so many concepts that it is difficult to appreciate the intricate details of each and every vehicle. Technologies usually plays a central role during these concepts, so you'll usually begin to see the very first hints of the most recent new device being shown in a vehicle on the Tokyo show ground. New auto shows have also focused on high-technology drivetrains, also fuel-cell hybrid vehicles acquiring the majority of the attention.

Started in 1954 when it had been called the All Japan Motor Show, the Tokyo Motor Show has its own roots in commercial vehicles. The first auto shows had been covered with trucks, with traveler cars which represent less than 10 percent of the vehicles on display. Through the years, the rise of the Japanese passenger automobile industry, in its house marketplace and particularly abroad, created the Tokyo auto show a must-attend event for anybody thinking about the newest new cars, trucks and even buses. Currently, the Tokyo auto show is beginning to share a few of the limelight using the Shanghai Motor Show, but it is still thought to be the most excellent auto show in most of Asia.
