European Smart Event in Italy with EMMA Sound Off



Great success of EMMA Staff @ Smart Times 2011, the world meeting dedicated exclusively to SMART car. The location for the biggest Smart event in Europe was Riccione at the Adriatic Cost. The idea was to have a simplified EMMA Rulebook Version to let the Smart Cars compete. The guys of EMMA San Marino have performed the evaluation of the cars in all the three categories available: Tuning and performance, design and aesthetics, in-car media and SPL. Thousands of SMART with various mechanical and aesthetics changes came to Italy and showed off their masterpieces, from the simple application of vinyl stickers on the car, up to complete replacement with a 2000cc 4-cylinder turbo engine and the reinforcement of the shell with a sturdy roll bar. Some showed also real high end sound and new international friendships and relations have been started. A great fun within two days in pure EMMA San Marino Style :-)

EMMA Hits Cape Town With a Storm!



The southest EMMA competition ever took place in the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa on April 22. It was an impressive picture when at 10am over 50 cars were in and around the parking area all gleaming, shining and buffed up. From serious contenders with unbelievable looking cars to first timers only just stepping into the world of in car entertainment, excitement grew as entries were pouring in! On the down side however, so was the wind & rain, causing discomfort and delays - Our apologies go out for the delayed start. Competitors didn’t seem to mind the harsh conditions and Judging started shortly there-after. On a brighter day I’d say there would easily have been too many cars for the venue and Judges to handle. Cape Town has big potential ahead! Despite the conditions, there was no shortage of entertainment.
Byron our MC kept spirits high, a Mechanical rodeo bull took people to task, a jumping castle for the kiddies to bounce around and the guys from the RC Drift Club were there strutting there stuff, they were awesome!!

International Kick Off at AMICOM Leipzig




The Very Beginning ...

A great event area at the Leipzig Fairground, a serene spring mood among the manufacturers, great weather (if you had the opportunity to leave the exhibition hall) and an enthusiastic EMMA community made the EMMA Kick Off at AMICOM 2011, a true mega-event.Around 100 Sound Cars from 11 nations launched this year’s the EMMA competition season and presented for the first time in 2011 the results of their hard work to the ears and eyes of the multinational EMMA judges. The EMMA juries as well as the visiting car audio enthusiasts were particularly excited to welcome participants from Russia and Turkey. In addition to those who already went with their sound system through many EMMA contests, the judge was able to welcome some cars with fresh new sonic landscapes. Those among the newcomers who did not immediately gain a trophy on the podium could definitely take home plenty of input for of sound and installation improvement. Once properly implemented, those tips might rather quickly make newcomers serious competitors to the existing EMMA elite. Within the Advanced Categories the fight was extremly hard for a beginning season and the level was already almost on the Eurofinals level. The AMICOM/EMMA Saturday Night Event was of course again a real highlight of this event: thanks to the culinary contribution by the EMMA San Marino Team who organised ajust great food in the real Italian Style, and the hospitality of the AMICOM exhibitors the fairground mutated on this evening to a Mega-Party area. Tuning Angel Katharina Kuhlmann wowed the audience with daily Mass Moderation around all favorite subjects of sound, Show, Shine & Horsepower. The RTL Car Dealers Jörg and Dragan provided fair visitors on Sunday with their cranky stage show and raffled off many product highlight from desired car audio brands. Together with Katharina they also made sure that the award ceremony on Sunday afternoon became a thrilling conclusion of this EMMA Kick Off. The AMICOM showed clearly that the Car Entertainment is not dead and this platform is now the standard to be measured in terms of perfect organised events.

EMMA Headjudge Training 2011 in Bavaria/Germany



The Addendum 2011 will be published on March 15

Ultimate license to judge for 50 international EMMA judges. From February 24th to 27th 50 EMMA Judges from 20 Nations came together to take a great step in their judge career by becoming an international EMMA Headjudge.

Then it is up to the national associations to adapt this revised procedure during the season. Sound engineer Alex Pleines from Cap à pie Studio and producer of the EMMA competition CD came to change ideas end experiences with the international judges. He was also present when details of the new EMMA competition CD were discussed. This CD will include all new and ESPL competition tracks. A new DVD will follow as well.

Premiere for fair triple AMITEC/AMICOM and AMISTYLE









The fair combine AMITEC, AMICOM and the new fair AMISTYLE from 9th to 13th April 2011 hits it off with the automotive trade – the current number of registrations shows this. Leipzig Trade Fair expects more than 350 exhibitors for the triple’s premiere. “With this fair triple, we have developed an event which is unique in Germany with a common focus on the after-sales sector and which is met with keen interest in the industry,” says Martin Buhl-Wagner, Spokesperson of the Leipzig Trade Fair Board of Management. “The location Leipzig remains a crucial meeting point for industry visitors and car enthusiasts after all in 2011 – even without the AMI.”
The increasing average age of the vehicles and as well as the changing expectations of car owners regarding the equipment increase the importance of the products and services on which the AMISTYLE concentrates. Dynamic living conditions within the family, at work and during leisure time or changing demands in terms of aesthetics and comfort boost demand for customisation, which makes the after-sales segment a strong future market. “AMISTYLE is the first specialised trade fair to take this industry trend into account,” Buhl-Wagner says. “We have detected a strong interest in the newly conceived AMISTYLE, which is primarily based on the clear differentiation to existing car shows and the events dealing solely with tuning.”Already before the premiere of the fair triple, Volker Lange, President of the Association of International Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (VDIK), is certain:
“ The introduction of the AMISTYLE combined with the AMITEC and AMICOM and the clear focus on the growing after-sales field stabilises Leipzig as a fair location also in a year without the AMI.” According to him, this is a good transition, representing an additional incentive for a successful AUTO MOBIL INTERNATIONAL with AMITEC and AMICOM from 14th to 22nd April 2012.”

AMICOM 2011 significantly growing


The AMICOM will be the leading European trade fair for the entire in-car electronics industry in 2011. After the successful start into the year 2010, Project Director Matthias Kober expects a further increase in the number of exhibiting companies and the booked surface. Moreover, he expects a “feast of innovations”. Market-leading companies such as Audio Design, Axion, DLS Svenska, JVC, Kenwood, Magnat and Pioneer have already filed their registrations.As new exhibitors, Alpine, Funkwerk Dabendorf and mobile-media specialist ge-tronic have – amongst others – decided to come to the fair for the first time. The fair programme reflects the entire spectrum of the industry with entertainment, communication and navigation technology and will appeal to industry visitors as well as to a broad audience of private visitors. A sophisticated programme with international sound competition, “live assemblies” and workshops will provide additional vibrancy.

AMITEC 2011: An absolute must for the car industry


The 14th edition of AMITEC is of particular importance as it is Germany’s most important trade fair for vehicle components, workshops and service in 2011 and will thus be visited by industry visitors from all over Germany. The current number of registrations also confirms this. Leading producers and companies such as ad AUGROS, Berner, Förch, HAWEKA, KS Tools, Magneti Marelli, MAPCO, Schwenker, Snap-on-Tools, Techmess and Würth will present their new products and current offers in Leipzig. No matter whether they are interested in the latest diagnosis procedures, innovative maintenance products, sophisticated repair gadgets or the broad spectrum of vehicle components – the AMITEC is a definite must for hands-on experts and decision-makers in the car industry for informing themselves, establishing new contacts, maintaining existing ones and for placing orders. A comprehensive specialist programme will accompany the AMITEC. Congresses, workshops and lectures on current and practical car industry subjects offer the visitors an opportunity for competent further education. The main hub is the “car industry café”. Amidst the other trade fair events, leading specialist publishing houses and exhibitors will discuss current trends of the industry there.

AMISTYLE with spectacular specials

The premiere of the AMISTYLE as fair for car styling, customisation, conversion and service meets with keen interest. “In numerous conversations, car manufacturers with customising, original components and accessories programmes as well as tuners, accessories suppliers and customisers confirmed their interest in the newly developed fair’s concept,” Kober says. He continues to ascertain that the registrations already filed also shed an optimistic light on a successful start of the AMISTYLE in the AMI family. The numerous events of the accompanying programme are promising as well: At the kickoff of the European Gymkhana Series 2011, fair visitors will be able to experience this new and spectacular form of professional drifting live, explore the paddock and have a close encounter with the drivers. Moreover, there will be a club area in cooperation with the most renowned communities including a show-and-shine competition and in the glass hall, lifting the lid is expressly encouraged: 30 hot rods reveal their inner sanctum their – the engine compartment.
