Busan International Motor Show (BIMOS), which first convened as the inaugural exhibition for BEXCO in 2001, is held biennially as part of efforts to promote the regional automotive industry and galvanize the local economy. The show has become an ultra-large scale event that routinely attracts more than one million visitors. The exhibition halls at BEXCO (measuring 26,508 square-meters) will house more than 170 cars and trucks on display. This number far exceeds the 109 cars and trucks that were displayed at the 2010 event, making this year’s Busan International Motor Show the largest ever in scale.

The 6th Busan International Motor Show opened at BEXCO in the southern coastal city on Thursday featuring 22 domestic and foreign brands. More foreign brands showcase their models in this year's show than ever before, while domestic automakers try to draw visitors with modified versions of existing models as well as hybrid vehicles. Organizers expect around one million people to visit the show by the time it wraps up on June 3. Reflecting the theme of “The Voyage of the Green Car across the Ocean” adopted by the 2012 Busan International Motor Show, most automotive brands from Korea and elsewhere will spotlight their eco-friendly vehicles.
