Get Me To Motor Expo 2010
27th Thailand International Motor Expo 20101-12 December, 2010 at Impact Challenger 1-3 Muang Thong ThaniThis Year’s Concept: UNIFY…Create Earth-Loving VehiclesIn the auto industry there are 3 key Stakeholders, namely the Producer,
the Government and the Consumer. The 3 parties have their roles
to play but at the same time they have to respond to one another’s
needs for the industry to develop and grow continuously.
In any
event the Producer tends to play the hardest role as he has to come up
with vehicles that satisfy the Consumer, under the regulatory framework
imposed by the Government.
But then again, in imposing various
measures the Government needs to take into consideration their
practicability and commercial viability of the industry operators as
well as ensuring that the regulations are not impediments to the
Producer’s technological development.
In actual fact the Stakeholder who really determines the course of the auto industry, from past to present, is the Consumer.
Throughout
the years, the Consumer’s diverse and insatiable demands have
increasingly intensified competition in the auto industry, mainly in the
way players try to outperform one another with regard to speed, power
and luxurious comfort.
But while the Consumer enjoys vehicles fully
equipped with sophisticated technology, our environment is being
threatened by the very same technology.
Because speed and power are
obtained at the expense of higher rates of fuel consumption and
pollutant emission, while luxurious comfort calls for extravagant use of
resources.
Explicitly stated, the planet is being harmed by the
automotive technology in response to consumer demand, resulting in
global warming, natural disasters, unpredictable and irregular weather
conditions in all corners of the globe, sending a warning signal that it
is about time we stopped hurting the planet.
Beginning from
consumers, who are virtually the roots of all problems and need to unify
in opting only for vehicles with high performance and efficiency but
are fuel-frugal, emitting less pollutants and not requiring extravagant
use of resources. At the same time they need to reject vehicles that are
faster, more powerful and more luxurious than they already are now
— so
long as the “have your cake and eat it” technology has not yet been
developed.
The Producer will have to come up with
"Earth-loving
Vehicles" to replace old ones as fast as the Consumer’s changing needs
require.
The Government can also play an important role in
promoting earth-loving vehicles by imposing various measures such as
appropriate tax rates and feasible production conditions, financial
incentive to users of vehicles with low pollutant emissions, finding new
markets for the Producer, etc.
“Inter-Media”, acting as intermediary
for the 3 Stakeholders and wishing to see an ambiance of brotherhood in
the automotive circle to jointly ensure that clean environment is
forever preserved on this planet, thus has great pleasure to set
"The
27th THAILAND INTERNATIONAL MOTOR EXPO 2010" as the main platform to
proclaim unification of the 3 Stakeholders under the concept
"Unify…Create Earth-loving Vehicles".There are many kinds of transportation to take you to the event.
