Automechanika Kuala Lumpur defers to 2022
With COVID-19 cases still being recorded in Malaysia, the
organisers of Automechanika Kuala Lumpur defer the upcoming
edition of the show initially planned for March 2021. The move to
reschedule the fair to 15 – 17 March 2022 comes as a result of travel
restrictions hampering both domestic and international attendance.
Exhibitors, partners and supporting associations have backed the
decision, and they look forward to the fair’s mixture of exhibition
and events that promote automotive industry recovery. Over the years, Automechanika Kuala Lumpur has gathered a broad
international audience that leverages the platform to explore the
opportunities in ASEAN’s automotive market. The last edition of the
show, held in 2019, hosted 16 exhibiting and 58 visiting countries and
regions worldwide.
However, prevailing travel restrictions into the country and local
prevention measures, set out by the Conditional Movement Control
Order (CMCO)2, have limited the geographical mobility into and around
Malaysia. With large numbers of COVID-19 cases still being reported
domestically, the uncertainty of these restrictions being lifted before
March 2021 is at the forefront of the organiser’s decision to postpone the
show.
