The Japan Motor Industrial Federation, Inc. (Chairman: Hiroshi Okuda) has begun accepting applications for exhibits at the "36th Tokyo Motor Show - Commercial Vehicles - (2002)," which will be held at the Makuhari Messe (Nippon Convention Center) in Chiba City from October 29 (Tuesday) to November 3 (Sunday), 2002.

The 34th Tokyo Motor Show, held in autumn 2000, was the first commercial vehicle show sponsored by JMIF; the 36th show will be the second such commercial vehicle exhibition. Because far more visitors than expected enjoyed the 2000 exhibition, JMIF has decided to extend the show period of the 36th Tokyo Motor Show by one day for a total of six days. In order to call on even more domestic and overseas manufacturers to participate in the show, exhibit application packages will be widely distributed to automobile makers, manufacturers of automotive parts and bodies, and makers of automobile-related machinery and tools in various countries. They will also be sent to embassies in Japan and overseas, as well as automotive industry associations, and secretariats of other motor shows around the world. |

Participants in the "34th Tokyo Motor Show - Commercial Vehicles - (2000)," Asia's first international commercial vehicle motor show, included 129 companies from seven countries, along with two governments and two other organizations. There were some 178,000 visitors, far exceeding the original estimates of 120,000, making this an important first step for the only international commercial vehicle show in Asia. |
|
The characteristics of the 34th show were based on that of a business trade show, but it was presented as a venue for "offering an outlook for the future and conveying the current state of research and development," "communicating user needs," and "deepening interest in and understanding of commercial vehicles." As a result, the show welcomed a broad range of visitors, from business users with a high level of interest in commercial vehicles to families of automobile fans, and received an excellent response. |
