With a total of 15 automobile companies and 16 major used car dealers taking part in the FAST Auto Show Thailand at the end of this month, organiser King of Auto Co Ltd is expecting a large attendance bringing in high sales figures.
Pattanadesh Asasappakij, Chairman of the organising committee, said that apart from 31 auto retailers, Krungsri Auto and PTT have are also officially taking part.
The event will be held at BITEC Halls 105-106 from June 27 to July 1.
“We expect no less than 2,300 orders to be placed for new vehicles, while 1,300 used vehicles are expected to be sold,” he said, adding that 250,000 people are expected to turn up for the event.
Major auto companies that will set up booths include AAS Group (Bentley, Porsche Ducati, Harley-Davidson), Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Suzuki, Isuzu, Mazda, MG, Mitsubishi and Subaru.
Chalatchai Paphatphong, vice chairman of the organizing committee, said the 2018 model of the Honda HR-V and MG3 hatchback will be unveiled at the show.
Attractive sales promotions will be offered for both new and used vehicles, the latter coming with additional inspection from Pattanadesh, who is a well-known car guru.
“This year we have a larger field of used car dealers taking part, some coming from upcountry, and this means that our event helps broaden the customer base for these car retailers,” Pattanadesh said, adding that the ratio of luxury cars is expected to grow from last year’s 15 per cent as dealers have been stocking up more luxury cars for this event.
