The Latin Tire & Auto Parts Expo is returning to Panama next June 14-16, 2023.

“After a hiatus due to Covid-19, the show is finally back and is being held in the brand-new Panama Convention Center,” says Latin Expo Group CEO Gustavo Lima. “It’s double the size of the last convention center with 59,000 square meters (approx. 635,070 square feet) and can accommodate up to 400 exhibitors and thousands of buyers. We also finally can host both the tire and auto part expos together under the same roof.”

The Expo group says they connect hundreds of tire and auto part manufacturers each year with thousands of distributors from Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean to represent a regional market for companies seeking to expand in Latin America.

Federal Bill Introduced in Hopes to Stop California’s Gas-, Diesel-Powered Vehicle Ban

If approved, H.R 1435 would prevent the EPA from allowing California’s Zero Emissions Vehicle regulations that would ban motor vehicles with internal combustion engines from taking effect.

U.S. Rep. John Joyce (R-PA) has introduced a bill (H.R. 1435) to protect Americans’ right to choose the technology that powers their motor vehicles.

The “Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act” was introduced in response to California’s plans to ban the sale of new gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks in 2035 unless certain conditions are met, Joyce's office says. If approved, H.R 1435 would prevent the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from allowing California’s Zero Emissions Vehicle regulations that would ban the sale or use of new motor vehicles with internal combustion engines from taking effect.
