SIA'2009 - Press Release

In 2009, the organizers of Ukraine’s major motor shows – Association of Ukrainian Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and AUTOEXPO Exhibition Company merge SIA'2009 Motorcar Show and TIR’2009 Freight & Commercial Vehicle Show into a single Automotive ExpoForum to be staged on May 27 through 31, 2009 on the ground of the International Exhibition Centre at 15 Brovarsky Ave., Levoberezhna underground station.

Bearing the name of The Exhibition of Relevant Automotive Offers, the ExpoForum will gather under the same roof personal and exclusive vehicles, trucks, commercial vehicles, and offers connected with vehicle maintenance, multimedia, tuning, etc.

This merging has fully logical explanation – it is a cutback of the world automotive market. The Ukrainian motor show organizers tried their hardest to make the Kyiv Automotive ExpoForum happen in May 2009 as they had planned, although many accustomed motor shows in the world were cancelled totally. According to renewed OICA’s Calendar, such a fate overtook eight motor shows. These are Moscow Commercial Vehicle Show and motor shows in Milan, Buenos-Aires, Athens, Zagreb, Bucharest and Vilnius.

«In the year of recession, the simultaneous staging of independent SIA'2009 and TIR’2009 is urged to giving all participants of exhibition activity the opportunity of gaining positive results in the upshot. I hope that this May event of a new format will contribute to the fastest revival of the market. Should the automotive companies stir up their exhibition activity, they may assure response in the form of increased sales amount!» – Director General of AUTOEXPO Company Olexander Haraschenko notes.

The plan of organizers has found positive response among the majority of Ukraine’s automotive market competitors. When times of today’s tough reality make the whole business world adapt to new conditions, a temporary merging of both Motor Shows has been an optimal solution for their participants.

There are among the obvious advantages of such a measure: reduction of exhibitors’ expenses to minimum; coverage of all automotive market players without exception with aggressive SIA publicity drive; traditional high attendance at the May Motor Show will be a benefit for companies presenting freight and commercial vehicles; executives and consumers of the commercial vehicle market will be able to learn of relevant offers by SIA’2009 at once.

Such a concentration of auto business on a square meter of the exhibition space will not be passed by the mass media. The pressmen will have a good opportunity to get familiar with the automotive market updates.

Now, a serious and careful work is expecting both the organizers and the exhibitors of the ExpoForum. Their efforts have focused on The Exhibition of Relevant Automotive Offers to be staged on May 27 through 31 as usually in conformity to high standards.
