The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. said Thursday it will cancel the Tokyo Motor Show scheduled for this autumn.

“We thought about doing something online, but we decided that it would be difficult to provide the main program that would let many visitors appreciate the appeal of mobility in a safe and secure environment,” said JAMA chairman and Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda at an online press conference.

The motor show is heled by the JAMA every two years. The last time it was held was in October 2019, when about 1.3 million people came to the show.
