The end of 119 years of tradition at the Geneva Motor Show!
🔸 The legendary Geneva Motor Show goes down in history. The event that has been organised since 1905 will no longer take place. The largest, oldest and most prestigious event is history. 🔚
🔸Inaugural edition of the GIMS (Geneva International Motor Show) took place in 1905, then after a break due to the Second World War, the event was held periodically, every year, starting in 1947 until 2019. Then it was once again suspended due to a pandemic and returned again in 2024.
🔸The 2024 edition of the event had a much more modest setting compared to previous years - only a handful of exhibitors took part, including only two European brands from one concern (Renault and Dacia), and only two larger models (MG3 Hybrid and Renault 5) were premiered. This determined the cancellation of the fair's continuation, a decision announced by the board of the Swiss foundation Comité permanent du Salon international de l'automobile.
🔸 The 2025 edition of the event will not occur, at least not in Geneva, not under this name, and not on the originally planned date. Instead, the organizer presents the Geneva International Motor Show Qatar, an automotive exhibition in Doha, the capital of the emirate, to be held in November instead of March.
