Visiting China and the USA
Matt Smith, Head of International, shares about upcoming activities for the September edition of the SMMT International Update.
Over the next five weeks, SMMT will be taking member companies to the world’s two biggest vehicle producers and markets – China and the USA. Both these visits are rare opportunities to engage directly with overseas manufacturing plants, including introductions with senior staff, all supported by SMMT.
In China, our visit includes stops at Hefei and Wuhan for meetings with major manufacturers, followed by the World New Energy Vehicle Congress in Haikou, including a special presentation session. In October, meanwhile, we will be in Alabama and Tennessee, attending the Southern Automotive Conference before visiting Mazda-Toyota Manufacturing, Nissan and Volkswagen.
Spaces are still available on the US visit, so register your interest if you would like to join us and maximise the competitive advantage that SMMT member offers.
