SEMA News recently traveled to Beijing, China, the center of the
Chinese off-road market, to talk to some key players about evolving
trends.
The first of a series of Measuring Sessions for the Toyota HiLux took
place this week at the SEMA headquarters in Diamond Bar, California.
The Toyota HiLux is among the best-selling vehicles in the world—hitting more than 14 million units sold in 135 countries worldwide since its introduction. The 1-ton, double-cab, 4x4 pickup benefits from a reputation for reliability and sturdiness, and offers performance and appearance customization opportunities for a wide range of specialty-equipment manufacturers.
SEMA led a fact-finding and buying mission to the Middle East, where Abu Dhabi was the venue for a one-on-one matchmaking event held April 17–20. Through a series of private meetings and networking events, participating U.S. manufacturers gathered with pre-vetted local importers and retailers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and from throughout the region for the SEMA Middle East Market Development Conference. An intimate, hotel-based, one-on-one setting allowed manufacturers and buyers the opportunity to get to know one another over several full days and included receptions and events at the Yas Marina Circuit, which is the venue for the Abu Dhabi
Grand Prix.
Dates and locations for three upcoming SEMA Measuring Sessions featuring the Toyota HiLux have been announced.
