Calendar June 20, 2011 | Posted by admin

The global market for lubricating oils and greases, which includes both commercial automotive and industrial lubricants, is expected to be 10.5 billion gallons annually by 2015. Growing demand from BRIC countries, Central Asia and Africa is anchoring the increase in the lube market, which has led to a spurt of interest in the upcoming Automechanika Middle East in Dubai, the region’s premier trade and networking event for the automotive aftermarket.

“The Middle East region, with its prosperous consumer base is an area of great interest for manufacturers of specialty accessories, tuning and performance-enhancing products,” said Mr Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer, Epoc Messe Frankfurt. “With Automechanika Middle East being the platform of choice to access this rapidly-growing segment, it’s no wonder that we have attracted participation from leading players in this segment,” he added.

The report’s proposed two-pronged policy approach to achieve energy diversification involves establishing regulation (fuel taxes, carbon fees) and/or setting performance standards that the market can meet independent of the technology choice, while supporting technology-specific policies chosen based on the country’s own competitive advantage.

“Understanding the opportunities and challenges in energy supply across all modes of transport is a highly complex undertaking; this report is the first to provide a comprehensive framework identifying critical enablers and ensuring deployment of the broadest range of technologies,” said Nick Pennell, Vice President of Booz & Company.

The Middle East Construction Forum, which is a series of seminars and workshops being held for the benefit of regional construction industry professionals on the sidelines of the main event, is proving highly popular.

The Forum, is organised jointly by the Society of Engineers – UAE and Epoc Messe Frankfurt and it provides an insight into the latest industry regulations, new legislation aimed at standardizing the industry and details about industry best practices. The Forum is targeted at contractors and consultants, project managers and engineers work-ing in the regional construction industry.

Adel Yassin, CEO of Yassin Group Electronics, said, “We are so pleased to be partnering with Samsung a global leader in digital media and convergence technologies. With this partnership, we will take allmeasures to supply the Jordanian market with all the latest technologies to allow the market to be in line with the rest of the world.”

After the collapse in sales in the crisis year of 2009, demand for heavy trucks increased with varying growth rates across the world in 2010. China, India and Brazil even reported new records. Global truck sales soared by 51% to a total of 1.8 million vehicles last year. Jafza’s automotive community aims to capitalize on this optimistic outlook by focusing on ways to sustain and drive growth.

Now in its ninth year, Automechanika Middle East 2011 will be held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from June 7th to 9th.
