Mr. Erich Nesselhauf, the Ex-CEO, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, called “the Commercial Vehicle Forum one of the most prestigious meetings in India, because the forum brings forth the changing thoughts & ideas about the future of the CV industry.”
In line with Erich’s thought above and the recognition of the changing regulation, i.e., BS-VI which shall come into force on April 1, 2020, CVF shall offer a well-rounded perspective to all the OEMs, suppliers and logistics service providers to focus on the areas that need to be strengthened to embrace the change. It will also shed light on future opportunities which will contribute to their profit pools – which are those and how to capture them.
