Driving Progress Together: Philippine International Truck Show (PITS) Brings the Future of Philippine Trucking Under One Roof
Taguig, Philippines, September 22, 2026 – The Philippine trucking industry is gearing up for a major milestone as the Truck Manufacturers Association, Inc. (TMA), together with the Automotive Body Manufacturers Association of the Philippines, Inc. (ABMAP), officially presented the vision behind the 1st Philippine International Truck Show (PITS) during its Press Conference held today.
Happening on October 22 to 24, 2026 at Hall 1 of the SMX Convention Center Manila, the inaugural PITS will bring together leading truck and commercial vehicle manufacturers, Philippine body builders, transport and logistics stakeholders, fleet operators, entrepreneurs, government representatives, suppliers, and industry partners in one dedicated commercial vehicle exhibition.
Carrying the theme “Driving Progress Together,” PITS represents more than the launch of another motor show. It reflects a shared vision of an industry working together to help move businesses, communities, and the Philippine economy forward.
Driving Progress Together
Every day, trucks and commercial vehicles quietly support the country’s progress. They move food and essential goods, deliver products to businesses and communities, support construction and infrastructure, serve agriculture and manufacturing, enable e-commerce and logistics, and provide transportation for people across the country. Behind every truck is also a larger ecosystem, from vehicle manufacturers and distributors to local body builders, suppliers, dealers, fleet operators, technicians, drivers, regulators, and customers.
This interconnected industry is at the heart of the PITS theme, “Driving Progress Together.” According to TMA President Robert D. Carlos, the first PITS was created to give the commercial vehicle industry a platform of its own, one where the sector can showcase not only products, but also the partnerships and solutions needed for its continued development.
“Trucks are essential to practically every sector of our economy, yet there has never been a major show in the Philippines dedicated specifically to bringing the entire truck and commercial vehicle ecosystem together. Through PITS, we want to create that platform. Our theme, ‘Driving Progress Together,’ reflects what we believe is necessary for our industry to move forward. Progress cannot be achieved by manufacturers alone. It requires collaboration among truck brands, body builders, customers, government, transport operators, suppliers, and other stakeholders. PITS is where we bring all of them together,” said Carlos.
The show is envisioned to strengthen industry collaboration while providing an opportunity to exchange ideas on the changing requirements of Philippine transport and logistics—from operational efficiency and road safety to new technology and more sustainable mobility solutions.
TMA and ABMAP: Bringing the Complete Business Solution Together
A key element distinguishing PITS is the collaboration between TMA and ABMAP, bringing together the vehicle platform and the body applications that transform a truck into a working business solution. For many commercial vehicle customers, purchasing a truck does not end with choosing the cab and chassis. The vehicle must be configured for its intended operation—whether as a cargo truck, wing van, refrigerated van, utility vehicle, passenger vehicle, construction application, or other specialized body.
This makes the participation of Philippine body builders an important part of the PITS experience. ABMAP Vice President for Internal Affairs Conrad Almazora said the partnership provides an opportunity to highlight the capability and contribution of Philippine body manufacturers to the local transport industry.
“A truck becomes truly valuable to a business when it is configured for the work it needs to perform. Philippine body builders understand our local operating conditions and the diverse requirements of Filipino businesses, and we have developed capabilities to provide solutions for many different applications. Through PITS, customers will be able to see how truck manufacturers and body builders work together to provide complete transport solutions. At the same time, we want to showcase Philippine body-building capability and encourage greater collaboration, innovation, and local value creation within the commercial vehicle industry,” said Almazora.
The partnership also reinforces PITS’ objective of strengthening the local commercial vehicle ecosystem by connecting global automotive technology with Philippine manufacturing expertise and locally developed body applications.
Perfect Timing for Businesses Looking for Their Next Truck
For fleet operators, SMEs, logistics companies, contractors, transport operators, entrepreneurs, and businesses planning to purchase or expand their commercial vehicle fleet, the timing of PITS could not be better. Instead of visiting different locations to explore available truck platforms, body configurations, technologies, and business solutions, visitors can see and compare a wide selection of options under one roof. Prospective customers will have the opportunity to speak directly with participating truck brands and body builders, discuss their operational requirements, explore different vehicle and body configurations, and identify solutions suited to their businesses.
“Whether you operate one truck or manage a large fleet, PITS is designed to help you understand what solutions are available for your business today and what technologies you should be looking at for the future. If you are considering buying a truck, replacing an existing unit, expanding your fleet, or simply looking for ways to make your operation more efficient, this is the perfect time to visit PITS. You can see different brands, applications and technologies in one place and speak directly with the companies behind them,” Carlos added.
Adding even more value for prospective buyers, participating exhibitors are preparing exclusive show discounts, promotional packages, and special offers during the three-day event, giving visitors another reason to explore their next truck purchase at PITS.
One Industry, One Dedicated Truck Show
The inaugural show will gather established commercial vehicle manufacturers and distributors including Isuzu, Hino, Toyota, FUSO, Foton, DAF, JMC, CMC Commercial Vehicles, and MAN, together with Philippine body builders including Almazora, CENTRO, F. Cura, GEORDAN, Kyoei Autobody, and Santarosa, among other industry participants.
Their combined presence will allow visitors to experience a broad spectrum of commercial transport solutions, from trucks and buses to locally developed body applications, technologies, services, and business solutions. Beyond the exhibits, TMA and ABMAP envision PITS becoming a platform where the industry can connect, exchange knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and inspire businesses to consider how better transport solutions can help them grow.
A Truck Show the Industry Can Look Forward To
As the Philippines continues to develop, the requirements placed on commercial transportation will continue to evolve. Businesses need vehicles that can carry more efficiently, operate reliably, improve safety, manage costs, and adapt to changing technologies and environmental requirements. PITS aims to provide a dedicated venue where these needs can meet the products, technologies, expertise, and partnerships capable of addressing them.
The 1st Philippine International Truck Show, with the theme “Driving Progress Together,” will be held on October 22–24, 2026 at Hall 1, SMX Convention Center Manila. Show hours are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM on October 22 and 23, and 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM on October 24. Admission is FREE. Visitors are invited to come, explore the latest trucks and transport solutions, meet the companies shaping the industry, and discover the right vehicle and business solutions to help drive their next stage of growth.
