Cologne, 7 March 2012 - “Why wait for customers to come to the tradeshow when the tradeshow can come to the customers?” – that’s the supremely simple, extremely functional idea behind the “roadshow” concept. Inside the tradeshow vehicle, the enterprises participating in the European Automotive Technology Roadshow 2012 are showcasing their achievements and innovations in a manner designed to specifically address a select target group of key corporations in the industry. rational motion and its partner TM4 are a part of this joint presentation.

In cooperation with ATZ, MTZ and ATZ autotechnology, this year’s roadshow will be visiting the host companies at their sites throughout Europe from 5 to 30 March. Along with the other participating exhibitors, rational motion and TM4 are looking forward to interesting encounters and expert discussions with qualified potential. The roadshow truck will be roaming the highways for a total of four weeks, “pitching camp” on the premises of one of Europe’s leading OEMs or tier-one suppliers every working day.

The European Automotive Technology Roadshow 2012 is an ideal and convenient opportunity for engineers and management at the host companies to meet and speak with developers and suppliers of innovations and services for the automotive industry right at their own front door. This is a promising opportunity for all interested persons to explore new technological pathways and possible cooperation models in a select environment.
