The Yangon International Motor Show has opened in the commercial capital, aimed at boosting the automotive industry in the country. The exhibition opened from January for five days at the Yangon Convention Centre. It will feature international brands including BMW, Toyota, Ford, Scania and Suzuki. “Our event showcases the latest vehicles from top automotive brands currently available in Myanmar along with the latest design concepts, technologies, and innovations currently shaping automotive markets across the world,” according to Anothai Eamlumnow, president of the Yangon International Motor Show. Myanmar’s automotive industry has seen significant growth in recent years. However, a lack of clear policy has stifled expansion more recently. The government’s most recent program, the Yangon Vehicle Quota Certificate (YVQC), allows buyers to bid for a certificate. It means that they can apply for a licence to import their own vehicle into Yangon.
