This year, the Motor Traders Association is celebrating its 50th anniversary! Looking over our shoulder at the past half a century, motor vehicles sure have made unbelievable advances. From the days of a simple engine with four wheels, cars are now sophisticated technological masterpieces.
Concurrently, motor traders in Hong Kong also evolved to match. In order to give consumers high quality after sales support, our members are now staffed with highly professional management and with dedicated factory-trained technicians, who are complemented by state-of-the-art computers and diagnostic equipment specifically provided by the car manufacturers.
The society is also more demanding over the decades. Emission standards, safety standards have been introduced and revised every other year on par with the world’s most stringent. Though it may put pressure on vehicle manufacturers to continue to develop their product to match, such is a small cost we need to share for the betterment of our quality of life. The Association is working closely and continuously with the Government in these areas. We successfully changed over to Euro IV emission standards this year and now probing Euro V for future implementation.
Speaking about quality of life, consumers have increased their expectation towards luxury and convenience. At the moment, the Association is in collaboration with the Government towards the development on the Intelligent Traffic Network, which, after implementation, will offer motorists instant broadcasted traffic information over a built-in GPS navigation display system. This kind of support had not been possible until the availability of on-board multi-display driver’s information systems from car manufacturers. Very soon, we shall be able to drive around with ease of mind, knowing exactly about the traffic conditions ahead.
Members of our Association strive to bring the best and most suitable products, and provide flawless after sales support to our customers. Our relationship with our customers does not end when a deal is concluded; that is only the beginning.
We are part of Hong Kong, and our members are committed to continue to contribute to our society for the coming 50 years, and beyond.
