Veletrhy Busworld Asia v Šanghaji se konají od roku 2000 každoročně. Veletrhu v roce 2010 se měla možnost zúčastnit i redakce BUSportálu. Jedná sice spíše o čínský než asijský veletrh a jeho rozsah 2 pavilonů je s belgickým neporovnatelný. Každoroční interval byl zřejmě neudržitelný. Když jsme chtěli přidat nějaké ilustrační foto z roku 2010, uvědomili jsme si, kolik toho z veletrhu v roce 2010 zůstalo nezveřejněno. Takže s kompletní zprávou v angličtině o důvodech posunu dalšího ročníku a dalšími informacemi přinášíme fotoreminiscenci na rok 2010. V roce 2011 přes pozvání veletrhu jsme se zúčastnit nemohli, protože čínské velvyslanectví neposkytlo redakci vízum bez prověrky kdesi v Číně (pouze u novinářů) a tím se nedal odlet stihnout. Údajně byl ročník 2011, zaměřený na elektromobilitu, rozsahem menší.

Busworld Asia postponed to March 2013, 20th - 22nd

Since its debut in 2000, Busworld Asia has grown together with the Chinese bus and coach sector, developed a good reputation and became an important event for the industry. During this time, technology and innovation in the Chinese bus and coach industry have evolved at a rapid pace, making China the largest bus and coach manufacturing country today. The policy of Busworld Asia is focused on continuous improvement of its exhibitions and on response to the changing needs of exhibitors and visitors.

After the last edition of Busworld Asia, a new CEO of Busworld International was appointed. Mieke Glorieux is known by the worldwide bus industry for her professional and successful organization of Busworld Kortrijk. Her father, Luc Glorieux, founder of Busworld and an old friend of the Chinese bus industry, was invited by Busworld to come out of retirement and to be actively involved with the Busworld Asia organization. He has visited China frequently to meet the top executives of the bus building industry, including Mr. Yuxiang Tang, CEO of Yutong. During these meetings, the top bus builders expressed the need of the Chinese market for an international exhibition which will promote the rapid development of the Chinese industry and its new technology. Busworld Asia has to offer answers to the current demands of the Chinese bus building industry and create a professional and truly international exhibition. This will take time and planning.

Therefore Busworld Asia will be postponed to undertake the necessary serious, continuous and thorough efforts to make of Busworld Asia the trade show being true to its mission of becoming a valuable counterpart of Busworld Kortrijk in the eastern part of the world.

Busworld International officially apologizes for any inconvenience and hopes to welcome you during the next Busworld Asia edition from the 20th to the 22nd of March 2013 at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre (SNIEC).

In order to make this mission a success, Busworld Asia will maintain close contact with the Chinese bus building industry, including component and service suppliers and will make full use of the professional resources and global network of Busworld International.
