I invite you to join us at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Turin May 19-20.

www.anecongress.com

This year's Congress, the 12th, is special. It is special not just because of the high level of speakers, the broader range of panel discussions and the breadth of the program. This year's ANE Congress is special because the industry is facing challenges and opportunities that are greater than ever. And we want to provide a forum to discuss these big issues and, possibly, provide some fresh ideas.

Auto emissions have moved to the top of the industry's agenda. The rise of new automotive powers such as China and India requires a response.

New markets such as Russia call out for a strategy. Rising wage pressures mean regional production plans may need adjusting.

And these are just some of the issues on the agenda in Turin.

Join us and hear from Renault purchasing chief Odile Desforges how the French carmaker benefits from working closely with alliance partner Nissan. Listen to Fiat group CEO Sergio Marchionne explain how he put his company back on track. Hear Volkswagen group's head of powertrain research, Wolfgang Steiger, give more details of VW's engine plans. Or discuss with Tadashi Arashima, Toyota Motor Europe's CEO, how the Japanese carmaker plans to sustain its European growth.

In addition, learn from experts on our virtual-engineering panel how they are saving hundreds of millions of euros in development costs.

Or participate in discussions on improving the retail experience or on new technologies in the showroom as well as in the car.

As always, our Congress format is interactive. I invite you to join us on May 19 and use the opportunity to put questions directly to Europe's main automotive decision makers.

I'm looking forward to welcoming you in Turin.
