The Frankfurt Motor Show or Frankfurt Auto Show, in German known as the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA - International Automobile Exhibition), is one of the world's largest motor shows. It is held biennially in Frankfurt, Germany. The show occupies 12 buildings.
The IAA is organized by the Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA - Association of the German Automotive Industry). Since 1991 the show is split in two: Even-numbered years show commercial vehicles in Hanover and odd-numbered years passenger vehicles (including some motorcycles) in Frankfurt. The show is scheduled by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, which considers it a major international auto show.
History
- 1897: First mini exhibition at the Hotel Bristol in Berlin
- 1897-1911: IAA takes place annually or twice a year, usually in Berlin
- 1921: First IAA in Berlin after World War I (14th edition overall), with 67 exhibitors.
- 1921-1926: No international exhibitors allowed as a result of the war.
- 1923: Diesel trucks make their appearance
- 1931: For the first time exhibition includes front-wheel drive vehicles.
- 1939: Shortly before World War II, the Volkswagen which was later known as VW Beetle was shown for the first time
- 1950: First post-war IAA
- 1951: The IAA moves to Frankfurt, and becomes biennial
- 1955: Launch of the BMW 503 and BMW 507.
- 1957: Launch of the BMW 700 and Opel Olympia Rekord "Panorama".
- 1961: A record of 950.000 visitors is set. The safety belt is one of the highlights of the exhibition. Launch of the BMW 1500 .
- 1965: First Japanese cars at the IAA
- 1971: What would have been the 45th IAA was cancelled at short notice on political grounds in order to discourage passenger car purchases. That was the moment where the idea of "Automechanika '71, International Exhibition for Automobile, Workshop, Filling Station and Garage Equipment" arose. Thus Messe Frankfurt gave the automobile, equipment, accessories and other companies normally represented at the IAA the chance to make presentations.
- 1989: Last IAA to feature both cars and commercial vehicles at the exhibition site in Frankfurt. More than 1.2 million visitors attended the event, setting a new record.
- 1991: The IAA is subdivided in two. From this point on, in odd-numbered years the IAA Passenger Cars continues to be held in Frankfurt; starting in 1992, even-numbered years will see the IAA Commercial Vehicles in Hanover.
- 2001: The September 11 terror attacks cast a shadow over the IAA, which nevertheless went ahead only two days later. As a mark of solidarity with the victims, all show elements and loud music as well as the official opening ceremony with the Federal Chancellor were cancelled. VDA President Gottschalk explained this decision: "Because we could not permit terrorist forces to take away our freedom of action. And because, as a key international sector, we have a responsibility not to allow things to grind to a halt."

Hybrids at 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show
European automakers demonstrated a new interest in hybrid and electric vehicles at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. For example, Mercedes-Benz arrived at the show with seven hybrids, including a luxury sedan concept vehicle called the F 700, a 17-foot (5.2 m)-long car that achieves a fuel economy of 44.4 miles per gallon (mpg). The research vehicle features a homogenous charge compression ignition engine, a technology that produces the high fuel economy of a diesel engine from a clean-burning gasoline engine. Mercedes has also mated its clean-diesel engine to an electric motor, creating the Bluetec hybrid. The company plans to introduce a gasoline-fueled hybrid SUV and sedan in 2009, followed by two Bluetec hybrids in 2010, one of which will achieve 51 miles per gallon of diesel fuel. In addition, the Mercedes Car Group exhibited its smart car in three new incarnations: an electric-only vehicle and both diesel and gasoline versions with "micro hybrid drive", a belt-driven starter and alternator that allows the engine to shut off at stops. See the DaimlerChrysler press releases about the auto show and the F700.
Opel, a subsidiary of General Motors, unveiled the Flextreme, a plug-in hybrid that can travel 34 miles (55 km) on its lithium-ion battery before a small diesel engine starts charging the battery.[6] Opel also unveiled the Corsa Hybrid, a coupe that combines a belt-driven starter and alternator with a lithium-ion battery.[7]
Volvo Cars, a division of Ford Motor Company, exhibited a plug-in hybrid with motors in each of the wheels. The Volvo ReCharge can travel about 60 miles (97 km) on battery power alone, using a lithium-polymer battery pack that can be recharged in a standard outlet.[8][9]
The Citroën C-Cactus regular diesel-electric hybrid vehicle debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.
