Die hübscheste Modells und Hostessen findet man definitiv in Mailand. Die Stadt der Handtaschen und Schuhe ist aber auch das Eldorado für zwei und vier Radbegeisterte aus der ganzen Welt. Trotz der weltweiten Wirtschaftskrise sind doch fast alle wichtigen Hersteller im ATV – und Quad Bereich anwesend.
Die 80 Auflage der Messe war mit über 560.000 Besuchern die meist besuchteste Messe in der Geschichte der Eicma.
Gäste aus über 120 Länder waren zu Besuch.
Das Rad neu zu erfinden ergibt keinen Sinn und doch gibt es einige, innovative Neuheiten auf der Messe. Ähnlich wie im Automobilbereich ist der Trend in Richtung elektronisch feststellbar. Aber man fühlt auch den großen Kampf der traditionellen Hersteller gegen die digitale Motorisierung. Alte klassische, italienische 2 Radfirmen stellen sich auf. MotoMorini, Moto Guzzi, GasGas, Ducati und auch Vespa bringen die Erinnerungen und auch die Emotionen an Frau und Mann.
Zwei Welten treffen aufeinander und kaum eine Stadt ist dafür besser geeignet dieses rüber zu bringen wie Mailand. Hier wird mit den Händen geredet und vor und nach der Messe noch schnell ein Espresso getrunken. Ein Großteil der 8 Hallen stehen unter dem Zeichen der Elektrifizierung. Am großen, repräsentativen Messestand von Segway, wird der Hybridantrieb vorgestellt. Die Kombination von Elektro- sowie dem Verbrennungsmotor ergibt Sinn. Das zeigen auch die Daten des Super Villian SX20T Hybrid. Mit 330 PS und einer Beschleunigung von 3.9s von 0 auf 100 km/h ist man extrem schnell unterwegs.
Auch 70 % Steigung packt die Super Villain wie nichts. Segway kann auch 100 % elektrisch, Fugleman Crew bringt 5 Personen bis zu 220 Kilometer weit. Ob sich der Prototyp von der deutschen Firma Mandrill mit seinen zwei Elektromotoren durchsetzt, wird die Zukunft weisen. Eines ist sicher, der fast 50.000 Euro teure Mandrill M-two mit seinen 150 kW Leistung und Allrad spricht nicht jedermann an. Das 100 % Elektro ATV von Powerland ist für 15990.-Euro nicht ein Schnäppchen, zumal das Fahrwerk welches von Linhai kommt, nicht zum stärksten seiner Klasse zählt. Für Landwirte oder Jäger, welche primär Inspektionen ausführen, ist es eine gute, umweltbewusste Wahl. Der ATV und Quadmarkt ist zurzeit sehr schwierig, trotzdem scheuten die meisten Importeure weder Geld noch Mühen, um bei der EICMA auszustellen. Firmen wie TGB, CanAm sowie Polaris glänzten allerdings mit Abwesenheit.
MILAN, NOV. 13 – EICMA brings the curtain down and the flame goes out on what had been called at the opening „the Olympics of passion and mobility on two wheels.“ 2036 brands were present, (a historical record for the event), more than 700 direct exhibitors, 67% of whom came from abroad representing 45 countries. More than 30 percent of the companies were present for the first time in the eight occupied halls, two more than in 2022 and three in comparison with 2021.
The premises of the 80th edition of the International Exhibition of two-wheelers, which closed last night at Fiera Milano Rho, were already those of a heralded success, and the results, at the end of the exhibition week, award the Milanese event yet another gold medal.
Attendances have in fact exceeded 560 thousand, 563,848 more precisely, equal to a +19% over 2022, numbers that attest the 2023 edition as the best in the history of EICMA.
Very substantial data related to the business sphere: there were 39,392 industry professionals, selected and profiled with the renewed quality criteria introduced in 2022, who visited the Exhibition in this 2023 edition. Of these, 52 percent were from abroad and specifically from 120 different nations.
Good news also on the data concerning media attendance: just over 7,000 people from 62 countries, journalists, technicians and communication professionals, content creators, who took advantage of the exclusive press day on Tuesday and recounted, even throughout the entire exhibition week, the entertainment offered inside and outside the pavilions. And speaking of the entertainment offered by the Exhibition, also considerable is the success of the MotoLive arena, the outdoor space dedicated to racing, entertainment and show, with the more than 3,000 seats in the stands always occupied. Nearly 9,000 visitors also took advantage of the test ride areas dedicated to e-Bike and exhibitors‘ vehicles, while the Esports Arena, the brand new and engaging exhibition content dedicated to the gaming world, was taken by storm, with many young people and numerous VIPs and riders in attendance. Also noteworthy was the interest developed around the YUM (Your Urban Mobility) area, another novelty of 2023, which welcomed companies, institutions, Armed Forces, but also the most innovative startups in the sector, to which EICMA offers an international showcase thanks to the support of ICE, the International Trade Agency.
Positive, finally, was the feedback on digital services and in particular those related to online ticketing, a purchase method chosen by 88 percent of the general public, while 12 percent opted for the physical box office.
Paolo Magri, CEO of EICMA S.p.A.: „There is no pre- or post-pandemic, there is EICMA. Reading these results leaves no room for interpretation and confirms how much our appointment is still today the best performing business and relations, and above all, marketing and communication, opportunity for companies in our sector. We continue to demonstrate an international appeal and value unique in the world, growing uninterruptedly and exponentially in all indicators since 2021, when some thought our event was obsolete. Added to this is the growing attention of institutions, which also relaunches the value of EICMA as an indispensable moment to turn a spotlight on the instances of the industry and increase its and relevance and authority.“
Pietro Meda, president of EICMA S.p.A.: „EICMA has not only continued to invest on its evolution from a trade fair to an exhibition event, but it enters its 110th year of history with an open eye to the future and to the innovation of the event itself, attesting to some extent also as a cross-cultural and lifestyle event. The pavilions were packed with families and young people, with passion, new special content, entertainment and events, which flank in an increasingly comprehensive and engaging way the great commitment of the exhibitors, to whom we extend our heartfelt thanks for the trust and loyalty they continue to show us. We also extend the same gratitude to our sponsors, partners and institutions that support EICMA.“
The appointment with EICMA 2024 is November 5-10.
