The Truck Manufacturers Association, Inc. (TMA), together with the Automotive Body Manufacturers Association of the Philippines, Inc. (ABMAP), will be holding the first-ever Philippine International Truck Show (PITS) on October 22 to 24, 2026, at Hall 1, SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

The inaugural PITS will carry the theme “Driving Progress Together” and is billed to be one of the country’s biggest truck industry events of the year. It will bring together leading truck manufacturers, commercial vehicle brands, automotive & commercial body builders, fleet operators, transport stakeholders, government representatives, and industry partners under one roof.

But why hold the first-ever Philippine International Truck Show? As the Philippine economy continues to expand, trucks and commercial vehicles remain essential to the country’s transportation and logistics network. It supports the movement of goods, businesses, infrastructure development, public services, and the advancement of communities nationwide.

Through PITS, TMA and ABMAP aim to strengthen collaboration across the entire commercial vehicle ecosystem, connecting vehicle manufacturers and distributors with body builders, fleet customers, logistics companies, transport operators, government agencies, suppliers, and other key industry stakeholders. The event also seeks to create opportunities for dialogue and knowledge-sharing on the evolving needs of the Philippine transport sector. It's also set to encourage closer cooperation among industry players toward safer, more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready transportation.

The inaugural PITS will feature a strong lineup of established commercial vehicle brands. These include Isuzu, Hino, Toyota, Fuso, Foton, DAF, JMC, CMC Commercial Vehicles, and MAN, which are all set to showcase their respective truck models, technologies, and commercial vehicle solutions.

Complementing the vehicle displays will be some of the country’s established body builders, including Almazora, CENTRO, Geordan, Kyoei Autobody, SANTAROSA, and F. Cura Industries. All of them will highlight locally developed truck bodies and customized applications designed for the specific operational requirements of Philippine businesses.

Innovation will also be one of the major highlights of the 1st Philippine International Truck Show. Visitors can look forward to seeing a wide range of commercial vehicles, truck applications, body configurations, and new technologies designed to address the changing requirements of Philippine businesses and transport operators. From light-, medium-, and heavy-duty trucks to specialized vehicle applications and customized body solutions, PITS will demonstrate how manufacturers and body builders are continuously developing products that offer greater efficiency, productivity, safety, durability, and sustainability.

The show will also provide a glimpse into the future of commercial mobility, including emerging technologies and next-generation vehicle solutions that are expected to play an increasingly important role in the transformation of the Philippine transportation and logistics sector.

Aside from seeing the latest trucks, technologies, and body applications, visitors will have even more reasons to attend PITS. Participating exhibitors are preparing exclusive show offers, special discounts, promotional packages, and other deals available during the three-day event.
