The not-so-big show anymore
During the four days of the trade fair (January 16th to 19th, 2020), exactly 160,680 visitors (3,500 fewer than last year) passed through the turnstiles of the Vienna Trade Fair. The Vienna Auto Show and Holiday Fair mark the annual trade fair launch of organizer Reed Exhibitions. In addition to the 40 automobile brands that presented a total of 330 new cars, 13 renowned brands were conspicuously absent: Citroen, FCA (Alfra, Fiat, Jeep), Jaguar-Land Rover, Kia, Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Maserati and Volvo. This time the supporting program was wide-ranging: the e-mobility area, SUV experience, driving simulators and the “Connected Mobility” specialist congress (see page 16) provided a wide range of offerings alongside the 40 exhibiting car brands.
