Panorama 4 Issue One 2009 Karlsruhe received the award for its concept of “lifecycle-related investment decision-making”. This concept of a sustainable en- trepreneurial approach was im- plemented for the first time in the construction of a new envi- ronment-friendly logistics centre to the south of Cologne. www.hanseglobe.de Euro-6 comes into force in 2013 After reaching agreement with the EU Council of Ministers, at the end of last year the European The Automechanika in Frankfurt has once again confirmed its role as the leading show on the automotive sector. Since the first show in 1971, the Automechanika has become one of the most important meet- ing places for decision makers in the automotive industry. 2008 was a record-breaking year, with more than 166,000 visitors from altogeth- er 146 countries and 4,680 exhibi- tors from 80 countries. Attendance figures at the BPW booth are also indicative of the sig- nificance and international charac- ter of the Automechanika. Visitors from around 25 different countries came to the BPW booth, intensify- ing existing and new customer contacts. BPW’s appearance at the Automechanika was based on the trade-fair motto “100% perfection – 100% success”. Stefan Oelhafen, BPW sales director for the after- sales market, explains what this slogan means: “We conduct regular market studies and comparisons with competing products, coming to the conclusion that quality is the be-all and end-all, particularly where spare parts are concerned. Optimum performance, safety and durability can be guaranteed by using original BPW spare parts.” BPW at the Automechanika New BASt President “We must give absolute pri- ority to road preservation,” de- manded Prof. Dr. Josef Kurz in trailer world issue 1/2007 while still President of the Fed- eral Highway Research Institute (BASt).
