- The success of GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS)
2015 and 2016 as an international-standard automotive exhibition
have been greeted with enthusiasm from industry players and
automotive lovers in Indonesia. Entering the 25th year of the
automotive exhibition run by GAIKINDO, the association for
Indonesian sole agents will again present the GIIAS series on 10-20
August, 2017, at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE), BSD
City, Tangerang.
For GIIAS 2017, the theme GAIKINDO has chosen is "Rise of the
Future Mobility". Yohanes Nangoi, Chairman of GAIKINDO, revealed
that the theme was chosen to represent the spirit of GAIKINDO in
building and expanding the Indonesian automotive industry into the
future.
In Nangoi's words, "the theme 'Rise of the Future Mobility' was
chosen because we wanted to emphasize how rapid the developments in
the global automotive industry have been. Various technological
breakthroughs are driving changes in the automotive industry for
the better. These changes are what we want to show at GIIAS 2017,
the goal is to urge industry players and the community to begin to
adapt and prepare for the globalization that is taking place in the
automotive world," he explained.
- New Products & Cutting-Edge Technology are GIIAS's Main
Allure
At every GIIAS event, GAIKINDO strives to present an
international-standard automotive exhibition that can satisfy
visitors and support participants. To achieve this, he gave his
assurance that GAIKINDO was listening and responding to automotive
enthusiasts to fulfill their wish to be able to attend and watch an
automotive event that provides the best experience.
Rizwan Alamsjah, Chief Organizer of GIIAS 2017 explained that as a
part of the world automotive exhibition series, GIIAS was highly
anticipated by Indonesian sole agents and their brand principals.
GIIAS 2016 presented 36 products from participating sole agents,
including 26 product launches, one world premiere, two ASEAN
premieres, 19 Indonesian premieres and 14 concept cars. Rizwan
hopes that GIIAS 2017 will continue to be an opportunity for APM
participants to introduce their best products. "At last year's
event GIIAS included 36 launching events, including a world
premiere, and concept cars. I think that this year will again be
crowded and will feature another world premiere. I hope in the
years ahead more world premieres will be held in GIIAS," he
said.
Yohannes Nangoi agreed with his statement, adding that launches at
GIIAS helped introduce the Indonesian automotive industry to the
world, "We hope that the more products that are launched in
Indonesia, the more it will raise the position of the Indonesian
automotive industry in the world."
Rizwan also explained that based on the results of surveys
conducted at previous GIIAS events, new products and technology
were the allure and the main reason for visitors to attend GIIAS.
As a world-class auto show series GAIKINDO wishes to consistently
present an exhibition that leaves the best impression among
automotive lovers.
Rizwan revealed that until now, as many as 30 GAIKINDO member
automobile brands had expressed their full support for the title of
GIIAS 2017. They consist of 22 brands of passenger vehicles, namely
Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Daihatsu, Datsun, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda,
Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Renault, Suzuki,
Tata Motors, Toyota, Volvo, VW, and Wuling, as well as eight brands
of commercial vehicles, namely DFSK, FAW, Hino, Hyundai Bus &
Truck, Isuzu, Mitsubishi FUSO, Tata Motors, and UD Truck.
- Full Support from Pertamina and Mandiri for GIIAS 2017
In addition to the support provided by the 30 APM participants,
Rizwan added that GIIAS 2017 was once again supported by Pertamina
and Bank Mandiri as sponsors. At GIIAS 2017, PT Pertamina (Persero)
is returning for the third time to give its full support. In its
third incarnation, GIIAS continues to be in line with Pertamina's
vision and mission and its commitment to continue innovating to
support the development of Indonesia's automotive industry. Bank
Mandiri's presence at GIIAS 2017 is supported by two Bank Mandiri
subsidiaries, Mandiri Tunas Finance (MTF) and Mandiri Utama Finance
(MUF), which will participate actively in the event.
The support from the biggest fuel producers and distributors, and
one of the largest banks in Indonesia, is proof of GIIAS'
attractiveness and potential. "We hope that the support from
Pertamina and Bank Mandiri for GIIAS 2017 will provide more comfort
and convenience for visitors and exhibitors this year. The presence
of sponsors can certainly satisfy visitors in a variety of ways,
from ease in carrying out transactions to exciting activities that
visitors can directly participate in during the exhibition period,"
said Rizwan.
