Indonesia International Motor Show is an annual automotive exhibition in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is organized by Dyandra Promosindo, which is a subsidiary of Kompas Gramedia. Since 2016, the exhibition is held in April (and occasionally ends in early May) at Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.

History

It all begun in 1986 by the name of GAIKINDO Cars Exhibition. The 4,000 sqm of Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) was the initial place of the show.

After changing the name into Jakarta Auto Expo in 1989, the exhibition grew significantly. The number of participants had increased remarkably despite it was postponed twice in 1992–1993 and 1997–1999 due to the government tight money policy and Asian Financial Crisis.

By the year of 2000, PT Dyandra Promosindo had been involved as the exhibition organizer handling the event which name had been changed into Gaikindo Auto Expo. As a result, the auto expo was receiving a big success by attended by 115 automotive-related companies.

As the time went by, Gaikindo Auto Expo was getting bigger and bigger. Not only the number of participants had increased, the figure of visitors had also jumped to a significant number (161,089 visitors in 2005).

Entering the year of 2006, Gaikindo Auto Expo started a new level of auto exhibition which was eventually becoming an international-scale exhibition by collaborating with OIC (Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles) that coordinates international motor shows throughout the world. As a result, on 21-30 July 2006, Gaikindo Auto Expo was changed into the 14th Indonesia International Motor Show. At the time, there were 165.984 visitors who contributed to a Rp 1.005 trillion transactions.

As the number of both visitors and participants was getting increased, at the 17th Indonesia International Motor Show which was held from 24 July to 2 August 2009, the event took place at Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran with a 80,000 sqm spaces.

Apparently, the following years – 2010, 2011 and 2013 – of IIMS were running smoothly and was indeed getting bigger and bigger. There were also vast varieties of themes that show a high-responsibility to both the development of auto technology and world environment preservation. “Eco-Technology Motoring”, for instance. It was the theme of the IIMS 2010. There were also “Sustainable Green Technology”, "Eco-Mobility" and “Smart Vehicle Mobility” for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 IIMS themes, respectively.

A remarkable breakthrough had been made by IIMS as at the 21st Indonesia International Motor Show which was held from 19 to 29 September 2013, the event was covering a total gross area of 75.101 sqm which this led IIMS to be bigger than the other automotive exhibition in Asia-Pacific.[1]

2015 Indonesia International Motor Show

The 23rd Indonesia International Motor Show was held from 20 to 30 August 2015 at Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran. It was the first time the exhibition was split into two, the other one being Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), which is organized by Seven Events and was held at the same time at the newer venue, Indonesia Convention Exhibition, located at Bumi Serpong Damai in South Tangerang. Unlike the GIIAS, since this time the Indonesia International Motor Show is no longer supported by Gaikindo.

2016 Indonesia International Motor Show

The 24th Indonesia International Motor Show was held from 7 to 17 April 2016.[2] The 24th IIMS was opened by vice president of the Republic of Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla. At least 18 car brands participated at this exhibition. Halls B3 and C3 were occupied by Chevrolet, Daihatsu, Datsun, Honda, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota, among many others. Halls B and C consist of a premium cars like Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, Mini Cooper and Volkswagen. It was the first time the exhibition to be held in April (and occasionally conclude in early May) instead of July, August or September to avoid scheduling conflicts with GIIAS, which is held in July or August (IIMS was held on the same time as GIIAS in 2015).

Meanwhile, there are also eight motorcycle brands that appeared at this exhibition. Hall B is Garansindo, who attended with the brand Ducati, Peugeot scooters, Italjet and Zero Motorcycles. While Hall C is BMW Motorrad, Honda, Yamaha and Royal Enfield.
