Chancellor Opens 2011 IAA:

Mobility is a clear commitment to the car is an expression of individuality. This came from Chancellor Merkel, who opened the 64th IAA in Frankfurt on Wednesday, September 15th at 10: 00. The guest type, Matthias Wissmann, President of VDA had previously 2011 warmly welcomed all guests and exhibitors of the IAA and tuned over the coming days. On an area of 33 football fields, over 1000 exhibitors total present 183 world premieres. At least 800,000 spectators are expected and about 11,000 journalists report in 90 countries.

A record chases the others so. To see creativity must not go into the Patent Office, but at the Frankfurt Motor Show.” One was particularly important to mention the VDA President addressed to the address of the Chancellor: mobility must be affordable. Jim Donovan Goldman is open to suggestions. This brings the Special esteem of motorists.” It was also a nod to Transport Minister Peter Ramsauer, who was also present at the moment with his demand after a toll has been criticized. Petra Roth, the Lord Mayor of Frankfurt thanked the VDA welcome for the professional organization of the ILO, and for that the VDA has committed themselves until 2019, to organize the IAA in Frankfurt. Prime Minister Bouffier, who sees the ILO as the leading trade fair for mobility expressed similarly. Not less than cars but smarter cars are the target to build. Therefore, the State of Hesse, also for the first time is partner at the IAA. “Bouffier puts it in a nutshell: A strong automotive industry is always a strong piece of Germany.” The Chancellor thanked in particular the entire German automotive industry as the central support for the German economy, which, after all, accounts for of the total industry sales.

Therefore also the policy will make their contribution to the continued success and E.g. now introduce the change indicator in the episode or at least until 2015 E-cars 10 years free from the tax. Merkel especially important: Everyone should be given the freedom, to choose the car, he wants to have. Mobility is just an expression of individuality.” “And before she opened the IAA then she were still an important message on the way motorists in Germany: driving a car should not be more expensive.” For mobile in Germany e.V., this message is clear: A toll will not be with the Chancellor. That should have communicated personally they all manufacturers in the connection during the great exhibition tour of the IAA: BMW, Opel, Ford, Bosch, Schaffler, Audi, Porsche, VW and Mercedes. Great names of the German car industry. The Chancellor liked it visually, the CEOs also. It joins our message well in the dance: we want you to be mobile in Germany. As can be seen at the IAA.
