Our History
The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers was founded in Paris in 1919. It is known as the “Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles” (OICA).
OICA will celebrate its centennial in 2019.
In preparation of this event, OICA has changed its logo. The aim is to reflect, in a modern logo, the future auto-mobility, based on the new technologies of connectivity. The logo contains graphically the OICA acronym and contains several auto-related symbols, reflecting a start/stop button, a (steering) wheel and connectivity.
