The Zambian government, through the Ministry of Transport, has officially welcomed and endorsed the 16th edition of the Lusaka Motor Show, hailing it as a pivotal milestone for the nation's automotive, transport, and commercial sectors. Set to run from August 28 to 30, 2026, at the Lusaka Polo Club, the premier motoring showcase has steadily expanded over the years to attract diverse exhibitors, corporate sponsors, and visitors from across Zambia and neighboring Southern African countries. Speaking on the significance of the upcoming three-day exhibition, government representatives emphasized that the event transcends a traditional display of vehicles. Instead, it serves as a dynamic multi-sectoral platform designed to foster business linkages, stimulate investment, and catalyze job creation within the local economy. The exhibition floor features an expansive array of offerings, ranging from heavy-duty commercial trucks, buses, and passenger cars to specialized automotive parts, tires, lubricants, and modern equipment. A notable highlight of this year's installment is the pronounced emphasis on sustainable mobility and green energy solutions. As global and regional markets shift toward eco-friendly alternatives, participating corporate entities and innovators are displaying cutting-edge technologies aimed at reducing carbon footprints within the transport sector. This aligns closely with broader national objectives to integrate environmentally conscious practices into commercial infrastructure development and industrial expansion. Major institutional partners and corporate heavyweightsโincluding insurance leaders and energy suppliersโhave thrown their weight behind the event, reflecting strong private-sector confidence. Beyond corporate networking and B2B engagements, the motor show has also curated public-facing attractions, such as the popular Saturday Sundowner featuring live musical performances, ensuring a blend of commerce and entertainment for families
