Concept cars, rare Soviet-era developments, supercars, movie vehicles, and automobiles that until recently existed only as engineering concepts — the "ProDvizhenie" Auto Festival has opened at VDNH. From July 30 to August 2, Russia's main exhibition venue has transformed into a true open-air museum of automotive history.
This is a real gift for connoisseurs of cars from different eras. On one platform, vehicles of the past, present, and future are brought together — from the exclusive Moskvich to concepts that may only just see the light of day.
The management of the international exhibition "Auto+Avtomechanika Moscow" took part in the festival's opening day and visited the Moskvich brand zone near the Main Fountain. Here, visitors can see legendary models, appreciate the classics of the 1970s, and the bold engineering solutions of the late 1980s. The centerpiece is the golden Moskvich 3e — an electric vehicle in an exclusive design that is sure to capture attention.
On July 30 at 3:00 PM, an industry dialogue was held on the topic: "Trends in the Development of the Russian Automotive Market for 2027–2029." Together with leaders of the automotive market, industry associations, and partners of the "Auto+Avtomeсhanika Moscow" exhibition, with the support of the Roscongress Foundation, participants discussed new production priorities, support measures, market dynamics, sales volumes, and forecasts through 2029.
As part of the business program, Petr Khachaturyan, the "Auto+Avtomeсhanika Moscow" exhibition, delivered a speech presenting his vision for the development of automotive exhibitions, technologies, and the strengthening of the country's technological sovereignty. Additionally, VDNKh management presented the new multifunctional congress and exhibition center "VDNH EXPO," opening this year, outlining its concept and capabilities for hosting business and industry events.
