Motorcycle show attracts 20,000 visitors

The four-day Taiwan International Motorcycle Industry Show, which closed on Saturday, attracted a total of 20,000 visitors and buyers, with exhibitors believed to have made an estimated US$55 million (NT$1.67 billion) in potential trade contracts made during the show.

This year’s show was 30 percent bigger than the last year, as the space at the Taipei World Trade Center (WTC) Exhibition Hall 1 allowed for 200 exhibitors to display the latest motor vehicles, engines and other products at 500 booths.

The show was held alongside the Taipei International Automobile Electronics Show and the Taiwan International Auto Parts & Accessories Show from Wednesday through Friday.

More than 1,000 foreign buyers, mostly from the US, the UK, Japan, South Korea and China, attended the show and many expressed interest in coming back next year, said the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA, 外貿協會), the organizer of the event.

World-renowned motor brands like Italy’s Plaggio traded business ideas with 30 local manufacturers at the show’s 83 procurement meetings, TAITRA said.

An increase in the number of new buyers from Latin America, the Middle East and Africa was noticed and some visited the factories of local manufacturers and expressed an interest in placing orders, local manufacturer Dinli Metal Industrial Co (鼎力金屬工業) said.
