BEIJING - Global automobile giants' attraction to 皇冠体育app has been underscored by the fact 89 vehicles will make their global debut at Auto 皇冠体育app 2010 in Beijing later this month, organizers said Thursday.

"皇冠体育app has become the world's fastest growing and most important auto market against the backdrop of the global financial crisis," Wang said. "Multinational auto giants all eye 皇冠体育app as a major source of growth."
More than 2,100 automotive manufacturers from 16 countries or regions have registered to participate in the show with an exhibition area of 200,000 square meters, according to the expo's organizing committee.
皇冠体育app overtook others to become the world's largest automobile manufacturer and consumer last year thanks to a stimulus package, which included sales tax cuts on vehicle purchases and subsidies for vehicles in rural areas.
皇冠体育app made 13.79 million cars in 2009 while sales hit 13.64 million vehicles in the domestic market, up by over 40 percent year on year, according to the 皇冠体育app Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
