With the impetus being given by the government towards infrastructure development, we definitely are hopeful that growth in the equipment sector shall gather pace in the years to come. Unfortunately, most of the major projects are still in the planning stage (like the Navi Mumbai International Airport, Nhava Sheva-Sewri Sea Link etc) and we are yet to see any substantial spurt in demands. But in the years ahead, we are sure that growth in this sector shall definitely touch new highs.

At Bauma
Haulotte has been a regular participant in Bauma across the world. We have been there with Bauma India since 2011 and have participated in all the three editions held till date. This year too we shall be there for Bauma Conexpo India 2016 at Gurgaon, located at Outdoor Stall No. 840. This is the only international show in India which we find as an appropriate platform to exhibit our products. We expect that customers from both end-user and rental sector who shall be visiting our stall would be made familiar to the latest technological advances that we have done in our range of AWPs and telehandlers.

For Bauma Conexpo India 2016, we shall be exhibiting our latest generation of Rough Terrain Articulated Boom, Vertical Mast, Electric Scissor and Telehandler. Each variant has its own USP, but one of the many distinguishing notable feature is in the lower ground control box of our articulating boom. We have incorporated the Haulotte Diagnostic screen in the panel which shall enable the user to get all details of performance and related parameter at a touch of a button. Further, any fault diagnosis can also be done on this screen which gives a pictorial description of the nature and location of the fault. This tremendously helps in reducing the downtime of the machine and any intervention required can be done in the shortest possible time.

Expectations
The location of the previous Buama Conexpo 2014 at Greater Noida was very disappointing. Although the facilities were world-class, the distance of the venue from Delhi and the accessibility dampened the footfalls of visitors. Although most of the regular participants had requested bC India to relocate the expo back to Mumbai, we understand owning to some constraints they couldn?t. The new location at HUDA Grounds is still better in terms of accessibility and we expect much better footfalls of visitors and prospective customers.

Looking forward
The aim of participation in Bauma Conexpo is not only for generation of business (which of course is a prime objective) but also to increase the awareness of the multifarious use of AWPs and telehandlers across sectors. That is what we are showcasing in our offering during this exhibition.
