Tient place, avec comme ambition d\u2019\u00eatre le premier au Monde, avec plus de 2 millions de visiteurs attendus, pour plusieurs raisons<\/font><\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u00ab For one<\/strong>, <\/span>India<\/span> is a fast-growing market for cars and two-wheelers. Compared with China\u2019s 27 cars per 1,000 citizens, India has only seven car owners per 1,000 citizens. \u201cDelhi\u2019s Auto Expo event is the bellwether for the automobile industry. Both domestic and global companies can showcase products to the largest potential audience,\u201d says Venu Srinivasan, President of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and CMD of TVS Motor.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Two<\/span><\/strong>, the 2010 edition holds immense significance for global vehicle manufacturers, since <\/span>India<\/span> and <\/span>China<\/span> were the fastest to recover from the financial crisis that swept the world last year. Car sales in the domestic market from April-November this year grew 21 per cent, while sales of medium and large trucks and buses in the same period dipped by barely 2.4 per cent. Much of the key markets in the <\/span>US<\/span> and <\/span>Europe<\/span> are still in the negative and yet to witness a recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Three<\/span><\/strong>, global car and truck majors who skipped this year\u2019s key events like the Tokyo Motor Show are lining up to showcase their products at the capital\u2019s Auto Expo. \u201cThere could be multiple reasons as to why companies avoided participating in the global auto shows. One reason could be cost-cutting. For many of these global vehicle manufacturers, India is yet a virgin market and showcasing a concept model gives tremendous mileage. Component manufacturers benefit greatly from events like these,\u201d says Mohit Arora, senior director, <\/span>Singapore<\/span> based JD Power & Associates.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Tous les constructeurs sont donc pr\u00e9sents avec des annonces, des pr\u00e9sentations dont Toyota (voir ci-dessous), Honda, Suzuki (actuel leader), mais aussi VW, Ford et Renault\/Dacia. Ce salon annonce cependant un tournant majeur, les v\u00e9hicules pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s sont \u201cr\u00e9alistes\u201d et les vedettes sont petites, compactes<\/font><\/a><\/span>. Les constructeurs pr\u00e9sentent ici leurs mod\u00e8les d\u2019entr\u00e9e de gamme qui comptent pour pr\u00e8s de 80% des ventes.<\/font><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n [youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Oktyjz2D-ao&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_GB&feature=player_embedded&fs=1]<\/font><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n "<\/span>India<\/span> is developing as a small-car hub<\/strong>," senior director at the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), Sugato Sen, told AFP. He pointed to government policies that have promoted the production of small cars domestically, while rising incomes have driven demand for basic, no-frills vehicles. "<\/span>India<\/span> ultimately is a developing country where the average annual income is below 1,000 dollars a year, so this is reflected in the vehicles we use," he said. <\/span><\/p>\n "Growth in developed counties is almost saturated so they are looking for where they can sell, especially in the low-end, entry-level segment<\/strong>," said analyst Vaishali Jajoo from Angel Broking. <\/span>Si l\u2019Inde se \u201csp\u00e9cialise\u201d dans la conception de ce type de produit, quelles cons\u00e9quences pour l\u2019Europe ?<\/span><\/p>\n
