Auto Expo 2018, the bi-annual automobile extravaganza will be open for the public from 9 - 14 February this year. But for us media folks, the proceedings have already begun.
The Suzuki Burgman Street
The Auto Expo 2018 is expected to be a watershed year for the electric vehicle category in India. Greater Noida is hosting the 14th edition of the Auto Expo and while a lot of automakers have decided to stay away from the Expo, there are still enough brands to keep you excited.
Among the notable brands who will not be present at this year's Auto Expo are Audi, Datsun, Fiat, Ford, Jeep, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan and Volkswagen for cars and among the bike makers we will not be seeing anything from Bajaj Auto, Royal Enfield and Harley-Davidson.
Having said that, there is enough happening at the Auto Expo 2018 to keep the auto enthusiasts hooked.
We are on the show floor in Noida and will bring you the latest updates, as they happen.
Stay tuned to our live blog of the Auto Expo 2018.
