The White House recently confirmed that President Joe Biden will attend the Detroit Auto Show next week on Wednesday, September 14, the Detroit News reported.
Biden’s return to the Auto Show is his first one since 2017, and one that will highlight the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing “boom” in the country under his economic plan, the White House announced Tuesday.
Biden said at the White House earlier last week that his attendance is not only to talk EVs but he loves cars as a whole and is a “car guy,” according to the article.
“I’ll be there,” Biden said per the article.
Biden’s last trip to the Mitten State was in November 2021 when he toured General Motors Co.’s renovated Factory Zero electric vehicle plant in Detroit.
The Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) recently announced the 2022 auto show’S return to downtown Detroit.
The historic auto show will return to Huntington Place (formerly TCF Center) in Detroit from September 14 – 25.
The cherished show will highlight a wide range of vehicles, the technology enabling global mobility and electrification race and Michigan’s position as a mobility and technology incubator.
“We are proud to return to downtown Detroit and to work with Mayor Duggan and the city of Detroit again,” said Rod Alberts, executive director, DADA. “Capitalizing on everything we’ve learned over the past two and a half years, we are uniquely positioned to bring a dynamic, engaging, experiential show to Detroit in 2022.”
The 2022 show is designed to embrace and grow underserved communities through broadened benefits to charities and will provide free, outdoor activities during the show. More information and details about the show will follow in the coming weeks.
The North American International Auto Show (aka Detroit Auto Show) today announced a peek behind the curtain of its first-ever indoor-outdoor fall auto show, including plans for dynamic vehicle activations, free community activities downtown, Charity Preview’s return and a rebranded logo for the iconic Detroit show.
Scheduled for Sept. 14 – 25, 2022, at Huntington Place in Detroit, the auto show returns after a multi-year absence precipitated by the pandemic. This next-generation show will capitalize on the region’s assets, including its world-class convention center, Hart Plaza, the riverfront and its position as a mobility and technology incubator.
“This year’s auto show plays a vitally important role in promoting emerging technologies particularly in the EV space,” said Detroit Auto Show Executive Director Rod Alberts. “And, as the first auto show of the season and with the release of new models in the fall, we expect the show to be a pivotal player in consumers’ vehicle shopping and purchase decisions.”
What to expect:
- According to show officials, the main show floor at Huntington Place is sold out and will feature a mix of hands-on activations, traditional vehicle exhibits and a showcase of automotive innovation and technology.
- Plans call for at least five active tracks inside Huntington Place with a number of dynamic activations envisioned outside in Hart Plaza.
- Multiple brands are planning street course ride-and-drives along the new 2023 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix downtown circuit.
- AutoMobili-D (AMD), presented by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, returns inside Huntington Place featuring 80+ technology companies, Tier 1 suppliers and start-ups as well as leading universities.
- AMD will also be the backdrop for powerful content with panel discussions being scheduled with an emphasis on mobility and electrification trends and observations.
