closed successfully with 178,000 visitors attended

Tokyo --- The Japan Motor Industrial Federation, Inc. (JMIF; Chairman Hiroshi Okuda), the organizer of the Tokyo Motor Show, announced that the 34th Tokyo Motor Show (patron; H.I.H. Prince Tomohito of Mikasa), which was held at the Makuhari Messe (Nippon Convention Center), Makuhari, Chiba, closed at 6:00 p.m. on November 4 with a great success.

The showÕs theme was "Vehicles of Character Across the World, Building Our Future." This year's Tokyo Motor Show was the first commercial vehicle show following the passenger car and motorcycle show of 1999. The exhibitors from seven countries included 129 companies, two governments, and two organizations, and the total number of exhibits was 261 units.

The show ran for five days from October 31 (Tue.) through November 4 (Sat.). In spite of unfavorable weather, the accumulated number of visitors reached 177,900 far beyond the organizer's expectation of 120,000.

Chairman Hiroshi Okuda said, "We are proud to announce that this year's Tokyo Motor Show turned out to be a great success as our first commercial vehicle show. Exhibitors displayed a wide variety of their state-of-the art products and technologies related to environmental protection, IT (information technology), and welfare. I believe these efforts attracted even private car users. Our show will be highly acclaimed because it successfully provided visitors with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of various commercial vehicles, while enjoying viewing various commercial vehicles that support industrial activities and people's life."
