This year's Taiwan International Motorcycle Industry Show opened yesterday at the Taipei World Trade Center's Exhibition Hall 3 under the auspices of the quasi-official Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA, 外貿協會) and the Taiwan Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Association.
According to the organizers, a total of 166 exhibitors from Taiwan and abroad have set up 370 booths, an increase of 25 percent over last year's show, to present their latest motorbike models and accessories. The show concludes tomorrow.
renowned names
The exhibitors include local agents of renowned motorcycle brand names, such as Japan's Suzuki, Italy's Bimota and Piaggio, as well as suppliers of motorcycles, motorcycle parts and components from Taiwan, China, Pakistan, India and Vietnam.
TAITRA officials said that a number of big foreign buyers, including Italy's Lampa S.P.A., France-based Top Saddlery and the US' Polaris Industries, will visit the show to look for business partners in Taiwan.
special area
In addition to booths showcasing motorcycles, parts, accessories and maintenance and inspection equipment, a special area has been designed to display customized motorcycles remodeled in Taiwan with a view to luring buyers and promoting opportunities for parts manufacturers to do remodeling work.
During the three-day show, four seminars will be held at the exhibition site to help participants keep pace with emerging trends in the global motorcycle industry.
