BMW and Audi will skip this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, leaving Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz as the only major foreign luxury carmaker to showcase its models in Japan’s biggest auto industry event.
Audi parent Volkswagen AG, Peugeot SA and Volvo Cars will also be absent this year, according to organiser Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA). In the past, the companies were regular participants in the show, which will be held from October 24 until November 4.
But Mercedes won’t be alone among foreign participants. Renault SA and Alpina will be attending the biannual show, according to JAMA.
