Jakarta, August 2026 – Indonesia's automotive industry continues to demonstrate strong momentum as the GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) The Series 2026 expands its presence across major cities in Indonesia.

Following the successful GIIAS 2026 exhibition in Tangerang from July 30 to August 9, the automotive exhibition series continues to Surabaya, Bandung, Semarang, and Makassar. The nationwide series provides an important platform for automotive manufacturers, supporting industries, and consumers to discover the latest developments in mobility and transportation.

GIIAS Surabaya Opens the Next Chapter

GIIAS Surabaya 2026 is being held from August 26 to 30 at Grand City Convex, Surabaya. The exhibition brings together various segments of the automotive industry, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and supporting industries.

This year's Surabaya exhibition features 26 passenger vehicle brands, Foton in the commercial vehicle segment, 10 motorcycle brands, and 25 supporting automotive industry brands.

The broad participation demonstrates the continued development of Indonesia's automotive ecosystem and the growing demand for new transportation technologies and mobility solutions.

Technology and Mobility Continue to Evolve

Beyond displaying new vehicle models, automotive exhibitions such as GIIAS provide an opportunity for industry players to showcase innovations in technology, safety, efficiency, and sustainable mobility.

The development of electric vehicles, connected technologies, advanced safety systems, and more efficient commercial vehicles is gradually changing the way people and businesses think about transportation.

For the logistics and transportation sector, these developments are particularly important. Changes in vehicle technology can influence fleet operations, fuel efficiency, maintenance requirements, safety standards, and the overall efficiency of goods transportation.

Opportunities for the Transportation and Logistics Industry

The growth of Indonesia's automotive industry is closely connected with the transportation and logistics sector.

Every new vehicle introduced to the market requires a reliable supply chain, from manufacturing and distribution to transportation and delivery. Commercial vehicles and automotive products also require specialized transportation solutions to ensure they reach their destinations safely and efficiently.

As automotive manufacturers and supporting industries continue to expand their operations, reliable transportation partners become increasingly important in supporting the movement of vehicles and automotive products across Indonesia.

This creates opportunities for logistics providers to continuously improve their fleet capabilities, operational processes, and service quality.

Looking Ahead to the Next GIIAS Series

Following GIIAS Surabaya, the GIIAS The Series 2026 will continue to Bandung from September 9–13, followed by Semarang from September 30–October 4 and Makassar from October 28–November 1.

The continuation of GIIAS across multiple regions highlights the growing importance of the automotive industry beyond Jakarta and Tangerang, while providing opportunities for businesses and consumers across Indonesia to experience the latest developments in the sector.

For transportation and logistics companies, these developments also serve as an important reminder that the future of mobility depends not only on vehicles and technology, but also on a strong and reliable transportation ecosystem.

As Indonesia's automotive industry continues to grow and evolve, collaboration between automotive manufacturers, supporting industries, and transportation providers will remain essential in building a more efficient and connected supply chain.
