A three-day ‘Truck, Trailer and Tyre Expo’ will begin at the Codissia Trade Fair Complex here on August 6 to promote the market for trucks, trailers and tyres.
Media Day Marketing, Bengaluru, is organising the event with support from 25 associations and the Union Ministry of Road Transport, Highways and Shipping.
Briefing reporters, Rambhau Soundalkar, Director, Media Day Marketing, claimed that this would be the first of its kind expo in the truck, trailer, tyre, tipper, OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and allied industry space.
“The Indian commercial vehicles industry is witnessing sizable investments by OEMs towards upgrading their product portfolio, introducing new models and expanding manufacturing capacities. The expo has been planned to highlight this. Lorry owners and other stakeholders will get an insight of the developments happening in this space, as the utility value of such vehicles has not been understood fully,” Soundalkar said.
Around 80 participants are said to have confirmed stall bookings. The organisers are expecting 35-40 more. Global technology development companies have also evinced interest in showcasing their products, he said.
