A first for MIAS 2017 is the 3,000 sqm Truck Pavilion which has the latest commercial vehicle models from the country's major truck brands. More than just the brand-new cars and trucks though, MIAS also showcases the automotive aftermarket industry in the two adjoining tents, from accessories to tools to replacement OEM parts.
