Beijing Auto Show Wins International Plaudits

2004/07/01

More than 300 international auto manufacturers that attended the Beijing Auto Show, which ran June 6-13, 2004, were impressed by the passion of Chinese fans, according to Xinhua News Agency.

The zest that Beijing spectators showed was really exciting, although some people did not want to buy at the moment. About 400,000 visitors indicated that China has great potential for the auto industry, said Reinhard Nickel, senior manager of after sales service and projects for Audi China.

The Beijing Auto Show, which is held every other year, aims to display new technologies and new products, and to discuss hot issues in auto development. Industry sources view the auto show as the most crowded exhibition in China, which indicates the people's strong desire to own family cars.

The hectic eight-day show earned organizers more than US$1 million, with entry tickets selling at 30 yuan (US$3.62) for ordinary visitors and 60 yuan (US$7.25) for professionals.
