The first commercial vehicle show, held in 2000, featured 261 exhibits from seven countries, 129 companies, two governments, and two organizations. Many of the exhibits focused on the protection of the environment, IT (information technology), and welfare (technologies for the disabled), with a variety of related state-of-the art technologies. In addition, the organizer incorporated several new promotional events, including symposiums and a commercial vehicle test-ride program. The efforts of the organizer and exhibitors were indeed rewarded, drawing 177,900 visitors, an attendance far beyond the estimated 120,000 and a sure sign that this show will emerge as a pivotal part of the automotive scene in Asia for a long time to come. |
