Jakarta to host heavy vehicle expo

JAKARTA: The Jakarta Fair will be the venue of an international
commercial utility vehicle expo scheduled in October focusing on
heavy vehicles as well as supporting industries.

"We expect some 150 companies to participate and more than
80,000 visitors to the expo," project director Ralph Scheumann of
PT Jakarta International Expo said in a media statement.

"The expo will not only showcase the latest heavy vehicle
models but there will be also seminars on distribution, logistics
and transportation."

The local organizer will cooperate with Japanese event
organizer Parabox which specializes in organizing automotive
shows or events.

Apart from general automakers and spare parts suppliers, the
expo also eyes specialists such as fire truck and ambulance
makers. It also targets participants from banking and financial
sectors as well as automotive media outlets. -- JP
