Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) will be taking over the SMX Convention Center Manila from Thursday, October 22, to Saturday, October 24, with two distinct showcases. The nation’s leading automaker will be present at the 2026 Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS) and the first-ever Philippine International Truck Show (PITS).

At the former, a comprehensive roster of electric Toyota and Lexus vehicles will be on display. Test-drive opportunities with select models will also be available throughout the event.

“The Tamaraw truly is a blank canvas, taking different forms to help people realize their dreams. We are happy—and proud—to build it,” said Masando Hashimoto, president of TMP. “Through the Tamaraw MPUV, let us bring our strengths together to make everyday life better—for commuters, transport operators, and communities. That is how we want to contribute to the Philippines: By delivering something people can use, depend on, and truly value in their daily lives.”

Several other Tamaraw variants will also be on display, and interested customers will also get the chance to test-drive the Utility Van and GL Dropside configurations.
