Scorpion
Automotive at Auto Expo Delhi
January has been a busy start to the year for Scorpion Automotive
Mark Downing the Company’s MD travelled to India for the Auto Expo in New Delhi and then on to Pune for Meetings with some major players in the Indian Automotive industry. Whilst in Delhi Mark met with the British Ambassador to India Mr James Bevan, who made a point of checking out the Scorpion Stand. The picture shows MD and James Bevan talking with Scorpion’s India agent Jacob Thariyan in the background.
During the trip Mark had high level meetings with Tata, Hero Honda, Bajaj, Force Motors Fiat and Jaguar Landrover. There was a lot of interest in the company’s security and tracking products and the market is vast. There are 1.2 billion people in India but the interesting statistic is the growing middle class which is estimated to be in the region of 300 million people who are relatively wealthy and successful and will want to protect their property. This represents a market which is bigger than Europe!!
Further discussions have since taken place on a number of very interesting projects. Watch this space.
ScorpionTrack,
the latest technology in Thatcham category 6
approved stolen vehicle tracking products has become a key
player in the marketplace since its launch in January 2011.
