SYDNEY, Oct. 8 --AsiaNet/InfoQuest
The Australian International Motor Show opens in Sydney tomorrow with a name change, a new logo and dozens of new models never seen in the region
before.
Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) Chief Executive, Peter
Sturrock, says the show is “firmly positioned among the world’s top 10
automotive expos.”
He says the change of name (formerly Sydney Motor Show) recognises the
event’s growing international profile as the southern hemisphere’s largest and
most important motor show.
A record 120,000 Australian-made cars and utilities are likely to be
exported by the end of the year. Total exports, including parts, will top
$US3.5 billion. It makes the automotive industry Australia’s sixth biggest
exporter, ahead of wool, beef and wheat.
Show highlights, including pictures, press releases and opening day
broadcast quality video suitable for downloading can be seen variously on
