The
Bus and Special Vehicle Expo is scheduled to take place from 11 to 14 March
2009 at the modern exhibition venue Bangalore International Exhibition Centre.
The first international exhibition and conference on bus and commercial
vehicles will be jointly organized by the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association
of India (ACMA), the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the Society of
Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) and IMAG as an international
co-organizer.
The Indian automotive industry has witnessed an unprecedented boom in recent
years. Due to rising demand from the Indian transportation sector the
commercial-vehicle segment is one of the powerhouses of the Indian automobile
industry. In the period from 2000 to 2007 the market for commercial vehicles
more than tripled to 480,000 units. In 2008 the production of commercial
vehicles over 3.5 tonnes will be around 305,000 units, which is 45 percent
above the figure for 2005. Around 285,000 units will be sold on the national
market, which means a rise of 43 percent compared to 2005. Thus India is one of
the most important growth markets for the global commercial-vehicle industry.
The first Bus & Special Vehicles Expo aims to showcase the latest
products, techniques and technological advancements with a special focus on the
following sectors: buses, commercial vehicles and trucks, special vehicles,
components & accessories and body structures. The event is recognised by
many international companies as a gateway to the large Indian market. Trade
visitors seeking information on current themes in the commercial-vehicle
industry are also attracted by the high-ranking trade seminars and symposia
that accompany the event.
The deadline for receipt of applications for the show is 8 December.
