This was announced by the Essen Trade Fair on Sunday. “We are really happy with the way the exhibition has gone. Managing Director Oliver Kuhrt explained that all participants approached the situation very responsibly and showed that trade fairs can be easily controlled.
Because of the epidemic, special rules have been applied to visitors – for example, the requirement to mask in exhibition halls. There were also ticket sales purely online to avoid queues. In 2019, more than 300,000 people came. In 2020 the exhibition was canceled due to the pandemic.
This year, about 400 exhibitors have presented cars and accessories since November 26. Tuning gasoline cars was at the forefront. However, interest in sustainable-energy cars is also growing.
