History
20th century
Before 1992, the motor show was part of the Poznań International Fair. In 1992, the first independent International Automotive Fair was organized, during which the
New Name
At the 1999 show, the results of a competition for the new name of the motor show were announced, the winning submission being Poznań Motor Show. During the same show, the first Solaris bus was revealed. The name Poznań Motor Show was first used at the 2000 show. Several records were set at this event: over 300 car models were presented, the exhibition size amounted to 59,000 square meters, and the number of visitors exceeded 117,000. In 2001, the fair was visited by approximately 100,000 people. In 2003, the last edition of the Motor Show took place before a several year hiatus. From 2006 to 2009, the Poznań Automotive Meetings were organized every May for industry representatives and visitors.[1]
Resumption
The motor show returned to the trade fair calendar in 2010.[1] During return of the fair, a competition was organised in which participants could win a car.[2] In 2016, the European premiere of the current generation of the Hyundai Elantra model took place.[3] Two years later, in 2018, the European premiere of another new car took place in Poznań, the Volkswagen Touareg.[4]
Two Year Break
On March 3, 2020, the management board of Grupa MTP announced that the next edition of the Poznań Motor Show, originally scheduled for March 26–29, had been postponed to the later dates of June 18–21, due to the deteriorating situation in connection with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The further spread of the pandemic later prompted the organizers to completely cancel the show for that year.[6]
The further spread of the pandemic in Poland during the spring of 2021 made it impossible to organize the next edition of the Poznań Motor Show, and in April it was announced that the motor show, originally schedule to take place between June 18–20, 2021, had been cancelled.[7] The MTP Group later successfully reorganised the Poznań Motor Show in April 2022 after a 2-year break.[8]
