The major Swiss automotive event will be back in 2023! The organizers of the Geneva Motor Show have just confirmed the dates of the event. Enthusiasts have an appointment at Palexpo from February 14 to 19.
Like the Paris Motor Show, the Geneva Motor Show is one of the unmissable global automotive events. But, like the tricolor meeting, the Swiss high mass was a victim of the Covid-19 pandemic. After many cancellations, the two gatherings officially confirm their return to the calendar. If enthusiasts are invited to Paris from next fall (17-23 October 2022), you will have to wait until 2023 to admire the cars on the carpets of the Palexpo. The organizers give us an appointment from February 14 to 19 for six days of exhibition.
What to expect?
For the time being, no official poster has been published and no list of exhibitors has been communicated. In order to seduce the builders, the organizers will have to work twice as hard, because the candidates are no longer as numerous as in the past. The financial costs generated in view of the low commercial benefits are among the main criticisms. Another black spot cited in recent months: the semiconductor crisis, which leads to equipment shortages, delivery delays and delays in the launch of new products. Not very selling… In order not to disappoint customers, some headliners prefer not to exhibit at this type of event. And the list grows every year. At the 2022 Paris Motor Show, for example, neither BMW nor the Volkswagen group will be among the exhibitors. Just like the majority of Stellantis brands.
