We are at the definitive pivot point for the global auto industry. JMS 2025 is the stage where concept meets commercial viability, presenting massive opportunities.
1. Introduction: The Evolving Purpose of the Show (The Vision)
The Japan Mobility Show 2025 (JMS 2025) has transformed from a traditional motor show into a “Co-Creation Platform for the Future of Mobility.”
Opening at Tokyo Big Sight on October 30th, this event is far more than a showcase for new models. This year’s themes center on three pillars: #FUTURE, #CULTURE, and #CREATION. It offers an 11-day immersion into how technology will redefine our lives and businesses, extending far beyond the automotive industry.

2. Core Themes of JMS 2025 (The Core Pillars)
Pillar 1: Glimpse into 10 Years Ahead – The Impact of “Tokyo Future Tour 2035”
A major highlight of JMS 2025 is the “Tokyo Future Tour 2035,” focusing on #FUTURE. Based on the theme of “Life 10 Years from Now,” which is neither too distant nor too near, visitors can fully immerse themselves in the future of mobility. Experience programs feature flying cars (e.g., SkyDrive test rides) and dynamically reconfigurable mobility concepts, making the sci-fi future an imminent reality.
Pillar 2: Accelerating Business and Co-Creation with “Startup Future Factory”
Dedicated to #CREATION, this section serves as a hub for accelerating innovation within the mobility sector and beyond. It facilitates business matching between startups and large corporations, featuring pitch contests and dedicated meeting spaces. It is the perfect venue to discover the “seeds” of the next mobility revolution.
Pillar 3: Celebrating Mobility Culture (Culture Program)
The #CULTURE pillar highlights the history and passion inherent in mobility itself. Visitors can enjoy diverse exhibits, including classic cars displayed alongside their respective cultural eras, custom vehicles, camping cars, the popular Tomica corner for children, and a “Kei-Tora Ichi” (mini-truck market), emphasizing mobility’s role as a cherished culture across generations.
3. Trend Spotlights: Evolving Technology and Career Opportunities
From a business and technology perspective, the most critical trend at JMS 2025 is the social implementation of Autonomous Driving (AD).
Autonomous Driving: From “Vision” to “Deployment” in Logistics and Public Transit
The exhibits clearly indicate a shift toward commercialization, especially focusing on Level 4 AD in specific operating domains.
- Automating Logistics: Demonstrations include T2’s autonomous truck (Level 4 ready) and Hino Motors’ FCV heavy-duty truck concept equipped with L4-equivalent devices. These exhibits offer tangible solutions to the pressing logistics crisis.
- Remote Monitoring & Connectivity: KDDI will showcase remote monitoring systems integrated with AD vehicles, highlighting how communication technologies and robust oversight frameworks are key to safe, real-world deployment.
- New Mobility Services: Nissan will present its test vehicle featuring AI-driven services, demonstrating how AD technology can enhance the “quality of movement” itself.
Air Mobility: How Far Have Flying Cars Come?
Exhibits such as the SkyDrive test flights and Honda’s sustainable rocket testing unit showcase the expansion of mobility into the “Land, Sea, Air, and Space” domains. Mobility is no longer confined to surface vehicles.
4. Conclusion and Call to Action: Be the Creator of the Future
The Japan Mobility Show 2025 is not just an opportunity to see and experience future technology; it is a catalyst for contemplating how we will create that future.
The AD, EV, and connectivity technologies on display are driving a massive transformation that will reshape our daily lives. The engineers and business professionals who can successfully implement these technologies are among the most sought-after talents today.
If you are passionate about the future of mobility and aspire to build a career at the vanguard of this revolution, the time to act is now.
