The companies will showcase their latest models since Vietnamese consumers are very connected and technology savvy, according to the organisers.
They are expected to bring state-of-the-art technologies and advanced eco-friendly global products.
The exhibition will be held from November 20 to 23 at the Saigon Exhibition and Conference Center in District 7.
Jesus Metelo Arias, chairman of the Viet Nam Automobile Manufacturers Association, said 2014 has seen a strong recovery in the auto industry, with a full-year sales forecast of 145,000 units representing 32 per cent growth. The number is higher than the initial forecast but below the 2009 peak of 160,000 units.
