OICA, known as the “Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles” (OICA) was founded in 1919 in Paris. The general purposes of the organization are to defend the interest of the vehicle manufacturers, assemblers and importers grouped within their federation.

One of the main missions of OICA is the harmonization of safety and environmental standards to benefit all countries. The organization’s membership today comprises 35 national auto industry associations around the world that represent the global auto industry that drives economic progress. The Exhibition committee coordinates international motor shows worldwide. It establishes the calendar of international exhibitions recognized by OICA. In the purpose of enhancing exhibition committee activities, OICA and its members have decided to launch a new website dedicated to the global motor shows.

This website provides a short description of the various motor shows accredited by the OICA.
