The company is now planning its aggressive marketing strategy in the Indian automobile market. It first push will come at the Delhi Auto Expo in January 2010. Volkswagen India is planning to introduce its small car model VW Polo. It will be the first family car from the company in its Indian product portfolio. VW currently sells its premium sedan models Jetta and Passat. It also introduced its luxury small car model Beetle in India which has been received well by the Indian customers. VW will display these models along with its SUV model VW Touareg in India.

The new VW Polo will be positioned in the A2 segment of small cars and will compete with models like Maruti Swift and Fiat Punto. The car will finally hit the Indian roads by March 2010. VW has booked a 1500 sq. mt pavilion at the Delhi Auto Expo to exhibit its existing product range along with its upcoming models in India.

Volkswagen is also planning to launch yet another small car model ‘Up!’ in India. It is expected that the model will be showcased at the Auto Expo.

VW may also showcase its sedan model VW Golf that is positioned above Polo in the international markets. Golf may not be introduced in the Indian market soon and may be present only for display purpose.

Delhi Auto Expo 2010 : Skoda Auto

The Czech auto maker Skoda Auto is planning a next big launch in the Indian market. Skoda is a part of Volkswagen Group and is now planning to bring its SUV model Skoda Yeti to India. It already has popular models like Fabia, Octavia, Laura and Superb in its product portfolio. Skoda Fabia is the hatchback model which competes well in its segment against Hyundai i20, Honda Jazz and Maruti Swift. Skoda lacks its presence in the SUV segment which is a fast growing segment in India.

The new Skoda Yeti was first unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show 2009 and is set to arrive in Indian showrooms by mid-2010. It is expected to be priced at Rs. 10-12 lakh. Once launched it will be the first SUV to be launched in that price bracket from a non-Indian auto maker. The model will be imported as a CKD unit and assembled at Aurangabad plant. It will compete with the likes of Toyota Innova, Tata Safari, Mahindra Scorpio and soon-to-be-launched Tata Indicruz.

Skoda also intends to launch a more powerful version of Fabia – the new Skoda Fabia RS at the Delhi Auto Expo 2010. Skoda’s popular hatch Fabia might get the heart from the Laura to create a deeper brand engagement than increasing sales numbers.

Fiat India in Delhi Auto Expo 2010

Fiat India Auto Limited is re-aligning its Indian operations. It earlier marked its presence in India with strategic partnership with Premier Automobiles Limited and launched Premier Padmini. After exiting Indian market for some time, Fiat re-entered the Indian market and launched Fiat Linea, Fiat Grande Punto and Fiat Palio Stile. Fiat Linea and Grande Punto have been successful models that have performed quite well in their segment. Now the company is pulling out all stops to enhance its market share in India by introducing better models combined with an advanced marketing strategy.

Fiat intends to introduce the new Fiat Linea T-Jet model at the upcoming Delhi Auto Expo 2010. Currently, Fiat Linea is powered by a 1.3L diesel mill and 1.4L petrol engine. The company now plans to bring its 1.6L and 1.9L powertrains to the country. The Linea T-Jet comes with the turbocharged version of the naturally aspirated 1.4 petrol and develops a healthy 120 ps @ 5000 rpm and more impressive 206 nm of torque right from 1750 rpm onwards!

The Linea T-Jet will accelerate from 0-100 kph in a blistering 9.2 seconds with a top speed of around 200 kph. When launched, Linea T-Jet will be the only car in its catagory to have a turbocharged petrol engine. Apart from the engine the Linea will also come with comfort and convenience features like Hill Holder function (for hill starts where the car would automatically brake to stop it rolling backwards when you take your foot off to accelerate), Rain sensing wipers, Automatic headlamps and Reverse parking sensors.

Fiat will also re-launch the Fiat Palio in the upcoming 2010 Delhi Auto Expo. The new model of the Palio is already in the markets of Brazil.

Fiat India has 50:50 joint venture with Tata Motors and uses marketing and dealerships of Tata Motors to market its products. Fiat is expected to share its pavilion with Tata Motors at the Auto Expo. Some other Fiat owned brands like Alfa Romeo and Maserati along with Fiat Bravo could be a part of this stand.

The Delhi Auto Expo 2010 : India’s Most Awaited Automotive Event

India’s most awaited automotive event – the Delhi Auto Expo 2010 will be held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi from January 5th 2010 – January 11th 2010. Auto critics and auto enthusiasts along with millions of customers from across the nation are eagerly awaiting the event.

The first Auto Expo in India was held in 1986. It was a Complete Automotive Show jointly organized by the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). The next Auto Show was organized in 1993 and the following one in 1996. Ever since then the event has been institutionalized as a biennial event. Thus, subsequent Delhi Auto Expos were held in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008. This is the 10th edition of the event coming up next month.

The Delhi Auto Expo aims to create a common platform for all automotive enthusiasts, customers and car lovers to experience the zest of Indian automotive scenario and have an insight into what lies in store in future. The event is spread over 140,000 square meters of area where there are more than 2100 participants taking part. There are vehicle pavilions showcasing their product portfolios, concept models and new launches in the country. There are pavilions for the component and accessory manufacturers to showcase their products and use the event as their marketing platform as well.

There is international participation by more than 25 countries, a Vintage Car Display, Go-karting, Award Nights, a Design Contest, and an “Asli/Naqli” Pavilion as special attractions. Themed pavilions such as the Alternate Fuel / Gas Pavilion, Accessories Pavillion, Design Pavilion, Diesel Pavillion, Garage Equipment Pavillion, Robotics Pavillion are amongst one of the favorite attractions for visitors.

The 2010 Auto Expo

The upcoming auto event is poised to be the second largest auto event in the world preceding the Shanghai Auto Show in China which has around 600,000 visitors annually. In 2009, nearly 30 Auto shows were held globally. The New York Auto Show had 1.2 million viewers.

The Shanghai Auto Show and New York Motors Show have their venues in the hearts of these two bustling cities which wins them far more footage. Such is not the case with the Delhi Auto Expo which is held at Pragati Maidan and does not enjoy this benefit. Moreover, the New York Auto Show is held for 10 days and Shanghai Auto Show is spread over 9 days while Delhi Auto Expo is held only for seven days. Even after these limitations the Delhi Auto Expo is expected to draw at least 1.8 million visitors in a span of less than seven days.

One of the main reasons for the Delhi Auto Expo to become one of the most successful ones is India’s fast growing market for two-wheelers and passenger vehicles. Currently the car ownership in India is only 7 cars per 1000 people as compared to 27 cars per 1000 people in China. Thus, there is enormous scope of development for the new vehicle market. The event is an ideal platform for global and domestic auto manufacturers to showcase their products.

Moreover, auto component manufacturers and accessories manufacturers also find it a suitable platform to promote their products and create brand awareness. For many of these global vehicle manufacturers, India is yet a virgin market and showcasing a concept model here proves very fruitful. Component manufacturers benefit greatly from events like these,” says Mohit Arora, senior director, Singapore based JD Power & Associates.
