Mondial de l'Auto, H2 + V
note > click on images to visit manufacturers.
"Revolution is on" is the new slogan of this very expected edition of the Mondial de l'Auto which opens its doors in Paris on October 18th, the tone is set! While waiting for our no less famous Salon de l'Auto which will start on January 13th in Brussels, we have been focused to the most interesting models that the numerous Brussels residents who usually visit the show will be able to approach, touch, and why not try!
This year (remember that the first edition of the show was in 1898!), the Mondial focuses on innovation, or even the revolution that we can expect in the next decades in terms of personal vehicles.
The most beautiful example of this new deal is for us the French brand Hopium which chose to settle in an ultra modern factory in Normandy, a history with Tesla, an ultra qualified team and especially an extraordinary car which is presented to us during this next Mondial, the Hopium Machina.
The first luxury sedan to be powered by what seems to be one of the 2 major sources of tomorrow's automotive industry, Hydrogen!
Hopium brings together a team of experts and leading partners at the forefront of innovation in the fields of hydrogen fuel cells, technology, and automotive engineering.
A must-see during your visit to the show!
Note that if you want to be one of the many owners, you will have to wait until early 2025 to store it in the garage at home.
The French manufacturer Renault presents a model that we love and that you must visit at the show, the Dacia Manifesto, a small off-road buggy with the look of a lunar jeep, 100% electric and perfect for wild escapades!

Another very big Chinese manufacturer GWM (Great Wall Motor) presents a very beautiful 100% electric city car, the Ora Cat, we like the naughty style to the NewBettle VW.
We also note with enthusiasm the presence of the surprising and excellent Vietnamese manufacturer, VinFast who comes to present us their full electric VF 8 and VF 9 models and who offers a 10 years or 200 000km warranty!

VinFats - VF9
So much to say that they are confident about the quality of their cars!
We will finish in beauty and strong impressions with an English constructor, Viritech, which should expose its concept car, propelled as the Hopium by Hydrogene and which presents 1000hp of power and more than 500km of autonomy...
As much to say that the surprises are announced, the lovers of the beautiful cars and curious of the mobility of tomorrow have appointment in Paris, from October 17th till 23.
