For two days, hot cars, great hands-on activities and the local shops attract people to Fulda city center. The outdoor trade fair Fulda.mobil.erleben attracts a lot of visitors to the city.
Fulda – +++ 12.50 p.m.: During the tour, the guests of honor – including District Administrator Bernd Woide, Mayor Dag Wehner, Michael Schmitt, publisher of the Fuldaer Zeitung, and numerous exhibitors – visited the trade fair stand of Autohaus Sorg and Autohaus Nix. Torsten Racky, sales manager at the Sorg car dealership, reported that that due to the increased fuel prices Electric cars have become significantly more popular. “Nine out of ten sales conversations are about electric cars,” emphasizes Racky. However, the company's best-selling car remained the Ford Ranger, which is offered as a combustion engine and plug-in hybrid.
Numerous visitors explore the outdoor fair fulda.mobil.erleben
During his explanations, the horn of the Ford Ranger keeps sounding. A little boy has taken a seat behind the steering wheel and is testing the vehicle horn. In general, many families can be seen on the exhibition grounds, which stretch from Bahnhofsstrasse via Universitätsplatz to Unterm Heilig Kreuz. The young guests proudly carry around the prizes they have won and promotional items such as drinking bottles, lanyards and balloons.
The audience is very diverse. Car enthusiasts are out and about, as are strollers and people who actually came to the city center for other reasons. They all stop at the campers, cars, bicycles and motorbikes and marvel at the latest models. In direct conversations with the sales advisors, they receive individual information about the vehicles, but also, for example, about funding opportunities for e-cars.
“Many people look at the vehicles but are not necessarily interested in buying them,” explains Susanne Stevenson from the Nix car dealership. Their goal is primarily to increase awareness of their location in Petersberg. This was achieved brilliantly at the trade fair.
