IHS Automotive truck seminar at the IAA
In Hannover experts discuss growth opportunities for the commercial vehicle industry
Berlin, 27 July 2010. Following the severe setback in the autumn of 2008, the commercial vehicle industry is now on course for recovery world-wide. But will the sudden upturn in the industry continue steadily, or is it just a flash in the pan?
The forecasters IHS Automotive will explore this question in a seminar on 23 September, the official opening day of the 63rd IAA Commercial Vehicles in Hannover. The seminar is aimed at an international audience – including journalists – and will therefore be held in English. The experts from IHS Automotive will also provide answers to other topical questions concerning the industry:
- Which key markets will generate growth in the future?
- Will the consolidation process in the industry continue?
- How sustainable is the commercial vehicle boom in China?
In addition, a specialist lecture will be dedicated to the rapidly expanding Indonesian commercial vehicle market. The industry’s technological developments and new mobility concepts will also be examined in detail. The speakers will be Roman Mathyssek, Director and Head of Truck Research/Advisory, Timo Klein, Senior Economist, Christoph Domke, Senior Truck Market Analyst, and Tom de Vleesschauwer, Director Consulting. IHS Automotive resulted from the merger of the Automotive Group of IHS Global Insight and CSM Worldwide.
The seminar is being organised in co-operation with the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and will take place in the Convention Center, Room Bonn, at the Hannover trade fair grounds, beginning at 9.30 h.
