MUNICH — When the Frankfurt show folded in 2019, the German automobile market and the federal government vowed to press on and recast what had been a truly worldwide automotive showcase into a lifeline for the nation’s domestic sector.
They moved the 2021 display to Munich, with the valuable help of hometown automaker BMW and Stuttgart neighbor Mercedes-Benz, and renamed it the IAA Mobility. And in spite of a global pandemic, they place jointly a substitute car exhibit — albeit just one without nearly as several autos from virtually as quite a few continents.
Personnel Reporter Larry P. Vellequette attended the exhibit and took inventory of the generation and strategy motor vehicles strewn across a number of halls of Munich’s giant conference centre.
