At Times Mobility Utsav, Auto enthusiasts dive into diverse vehicle experiences
Hubballi: Times Mobility Utsav, Hubballi's biggest auto expo, organised by TOI in Hubballi, attracted a huge crowd on Sunday. Visitors, accompanied by their friends and family members, enquired about vehicles of their choice.
The number of visitors was five times more than Saturday's crowd. Despite mild rain in the afternoon, automobile enthusiasts attended the event. Lingaraj Dharwad, an insurance adviser, said that it was a unique opportunity to understand vehicles manufactured by 15 companies. "If we were supposed to visit all these companies, it would take a month or more. We wish TOI organises more such expos in the coming days. There is a need for a dedicated expo for electric segment vehicles," he said.
Bharat Kulgod, an employee of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), shared that many people downloaded the BIS Care App to check the authenticity of products with the ISI mark, by using 'Verify Licence Details'. "Most visitors were unaware that there is an app by the Union govt to check the integrity of products they need. Hence, this expo turned into a platform to educate commoners," he asserted.
Prajwal Kurli, marketing-in-charge at Toyota, shared that there was much enquiry about the Urban Cruiser Hyryder, which has multiple fuel options of petrol, CNG, and hybrid.
Akshaya Motors, Deutsche Motoren, Volvo, and Martial Motors were luxury partners, while Isuzu, Nexa, Royal Enfield, Hyundai, Shodha Toyota, Ather, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, and Mahindra were platinum partners. Canara Bank was the banking partner, while BIS was the road safety partner for the expo.
