F1 Shanghai station is expected to be held in Shanghai on April 19 this year, affected by the epidemic, today officially announced the cancellation; the MWC in Barcelona, Spain World Communications Conference earlier also announced the cancellation. The scheduled start on April 21 to 30, the Beijing auto show, due to the epidemic still do not see signs of cooling in the short term, it is also likely to close down.
The current official has not made an official statement, but I understand that the organizers had informed Exhibitor activity pauses for subsequent notifications. But more exhibitors have been psychologically prepared, this year’s Beijing Auto Show afraid it can not be held as scheduled. In recent weeks unless Wuhan pneumonia epidemic can have a dramatic sudden reversal rest, in contrast to 2002 SARS lasted 10 months, suggesting that the chances of normal development of the Beijing auto show is not really high.
In addition to the risk of entering Beijing likely infected outside the travel ban is the key to the show can not be held, although Beijing has been partially restored the current work, but still in the state among closed-end management, prevention and control work and leadership in Beijing group office on Friday to upgrade control, all field back to Beijing by key subject of compulsory isolation for 14 days. Judging from all indications, Beijing Auto Show from discontinued left with a paper statement the organizers only.
not only affect the next major event, the automotive industry is also likely to cause a fatal blow. The last recession in the automotive market is the 1997 thing, the next step is positive growth for 20 consecutive years until 2018, was once again fell trend to 2019 had not improved, in accordance with the current situation it is hard to be able to 2020 optimistic view.
As the Chinese car market has annual sales of more than 2,200 million, has become the world’s largest single-country auto market, Beijing and Shanghai Auto Show also with the continuous expansion, become one of the best in the world is a grand scale and important of extraordinary world-class auto show. Last year, Beijing auto show attracted a total of 14 regions from more than 1,200 manufacturers to participate in the group, up to 80 million more people to visit.
compared to still intends toGeneva Motor Show held as scheduled, although Switzerland is not currently an outbreak, only sporadic suspected cases. However, at the junction of State Jie confirmed cases of Germany and France came, plus the show will attract a large number of overseas exhibitors included China, the media and the public to visit. Therefore, the organizers still appears to be very bold decision, but the Geneva Motor Show official said that it would continue to monitor the situation and will, and medical experts continue to analyze the current changes and discuss possible follow-up action. As for the exhibitors, the time of this writing have not received the application for cancellation of the exhibition.
