News & infos

Febiac assesses the Motor Show quite positively, because the number of visitors did exceed the expectations. The current economical uncertainty did scare a large number of potential visitors and buyers indeed. Moreover many people quickly bought a new car at the end of last year after the announcement of the end of ecological allowances. The company car market also suffers from the new fiscal measures. For most exhibitors the Motor Show was therefore quite rough.

Nevertheless, there were some noticeable remarkable positive tendencies:

• A remarkable interest for electrical cars. More than 5,000 electrical tests were made on the outdoor track.
• The e-card, which was meant to partly replace printed catalogues, experienced an enormous success. Visitors collected more than 250,000 digital catalogues, which equals to a reduction of about 30 tons of paper.
• Finally, our brand-new Facebook page gathered more than 12,000 fans.

We would like to warmly thank all our visitors, fans, car and motorcycle enthusiasts, exhibitors, delivery people and collaborators for this 90th edition of the Brussels Motor Show!
