- Towards the Automotive Future through GIIAS 2017
JAKARTA, INDONESIA, Mar 27, 2017 - (ACN Newswire) - The GAIKINDO
Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), enthusiastically
received by Indonesian industry and automobile lovers alike as a
fully international automotive exhibition in 2015 and 2016, returns
to the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE), BSD City Tangerang on
the 10th-20th August for GIIAS 2017.
With the theme being "Rise of the Future Mobility", GIIAS 2017, the
25th GAIKINDO automotive exhibition, is an automotive event that
demonstrates the spirit and commitment of GAIKINDO in developing
and preparing the Indonesian automotive industry for the
future.
Yohannes Nangoi, Chairman of GAIKINDO, said, "GAIKINDO has always
been committed to the development of the Indonesian automotive
industry. The theme "Rise of the Future Mobility" was chosen
because it represents the GAIKINDO spirit to build and raise up the
Indonesian automotive industry for the future."
The global auto industry has changed considerably due to
breakthroughs in technology, ranging from the use of electricity
with lower emissions to autonomous vehicles (vehicle without a
driver), thought to become a reality in the near future. This shift
convinced GAIKINDO to build and develop an automotive industry that
was prepared to face globalization as it happens across the
automotive world.
"Developments in the Indonesian automotive industry have not
reached that point yet, but globalization is pushing the national
industry to prepare, and to continue building and developing in
order to keep up with the global automotive industry," he
explained.
Supported by OICA, GIIAS is a World Class Auto Show Series
GAIKINDO's commitment, as a member of OICA, is organizing
international automotive exhibitions of excellence. As the sole
automotive exhibition in Indonesia that has gained the recognition
and accreditation from OICA (Organisation Internationale des
Constructeurs d'Automobiles), GAIKINDO believes that GIIAS 2017
will again receive the warmest welcome and the enthusiasm of the
public.
Rizwan Alamsjah, Organizing Committee Chief of GIIAS 2017, affirms
that GIIAS, as the sole auto show organized by GAIKINDO, is an
attempt to propel Indonesia's automotive industry forward towards
the future. Rizwan added that GIIAS is an event that aims to bring
industry, government and the public directly together, making GIIAS
an event that not only encourages the public towards an in-depth
understanding of the latest developments in the Indonesian
automotive industry, but also educates regarding the latest
developments in the global automotive industry.
"GIIAS is intended to be a two-way window: it provides an overview
for the people of Indonesia on the progress of the global
automotive world. And through the wide range of latest product
presented by the participants, GIIAS is a mirror of Indonesia's
automotive industry reflecting on the international market. We hope
that GIIAS both stimulates growth for the domestic market and leads
to increased Indonesian industry exports," he said.
GIIAS 2017 Attracts the International Automotive World
In line with its theme, the GIIAS exhibition concept is no longer
merely a platform to sell automotive products, GIIAS is an
exhibition that promotes the advancement and development of
automotive technology. GIIAS's future is expected to be a reference
for all stakeholders in the Indonesian automotive industry, as a
place to gain insight and a place to exchange the latest
information about the automotive industry.
Yohannes Nangoi, Chairperson of GAIKINDO, highlighted GAIKINDO's
eagerness to continuously develop GIIAS' organizing standard. "We
want GIIAS to become a World-Class Auto Show to be reckoned with,
and we need to improve ourselves. What has been running well will
be much better," he said, adding that at the OICA meeting in
October 2016 a representative from the world automotive industry
had expressed appreciation for Indonesia's automotive industry
development, which was reflected in the GIIAS exhibition last
year.
Romi, Seven Event's President Director who also acts as an
organizer of GIIAS 2017 agrees with the statement, "In accordance
with the 'Rise of the Future Mobility' theme, the GIIAS exhibition
will focus on presenting advances in the Indonesian automotive
industry through various cars in the exhibition as well as
innovations implemented by the participants.
"As an event that marks GAIKINDO's first steps to building and
expanding the Indonesian automotive industry into the future, we
assure all that GIIAS 2017 will continue showing the exhibition's
values. There are not only attractions for members of the public
but also for the vehicle's brand. Therefore, they will keep
registering to take part in GIIAS 2017," said Romi.
At GIIAS 2016, 36 products from Agent licensee (APM) participants
were successfully introduced, including 26 product launches, 1
world premiere, 2 ASEAN premieres, 19 Indonesian premieres and 14
concept cars. Concept car attendance figures and brand holder
agencies preference to launch their latest products at GIIAS proves
GIIAS' attraction and credibility as an international exhibition
that has obtained acknowledgement from the OICA.
As of early March 2017, 29 brands from sole agents and GAIKINDO
members were registered. This figure consists of 21 passenger
vehicle brands, such as Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Daihatsu, Datsun,
Honda, Hyundai, Isuzu, KIA, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MINI,
