The 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 (Organizer: Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc.) closed its doors at 19:00 on 11 November after 17 days of enthusiasm and excitement from October 26 at Makuhari Messe, Chiba. The show attracted a total of 1,425,800 visitors.

The show’s main theme this year was ’Catch the News, Touch the Future‘ and the new combined format marks the first time in ten years that Tokyo has gathered all segments of the automotive industry – passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, vehicle bodies, parts and machinery – together at a single venue. A total of four governments, one organization and 241 companies from 11 countries and one region (including Japan) exhibited at the show, bringing with them 180 premiere models. Exhibits focused on advanced environmental and safety technologies, innovative designs, and new forms of fun and comfort for the automobile, creating a colourful spectacle that won the hearts of motor fans.


A wide range of audience-participation, hands-on events brought new fun and entertainment for visitors. Highlights included five different test ride offerings, the largest number ever, as well as more programmes for children. Events proved even more popular than last year and played a leading role in bringing the milestone 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 to a successful conclusion.
