Valkyria Motor Show 2020 - Showcase
« on: March 16, 2020, 03:27:43 PM »
OOC - This thread is for the unveiling of cars, technologies etc, all socialising stuff to be done in the social thread please.

Emma Elsif, was the Marqueeza of the Greencliffe region and of the city of Valkyria, it sat in the north of Achkaerin's home island and had a bit of a countryside vibe about it. But every year for a few days the city echoed to the sound of horsepower as the car manufacturers came to town to show off their latest ideas. The venue for the motor show was as always the Valkyria Conference Centre, a modern building sat just outside the city centre, easily accessible by private or public transport, about five miles from the city's airport and within easy reach of many good quality hotels. The show wasn't due to start until the afternoon so as to allow time for a gradual build up of people in the centre and avoid the crush of a sudden rush. She had a personal tradition of walking around the centre checking on the various different exhibitors before hand. When showtime came she made her way to the stage and stood behind a transparent podium that stood on the left hand side of the stage.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Valkyria for this years motor show. I promise I won't take up too much of your time because like you I'd rather be looking at the fine range of vehicles and new technology we have here today but please bare with me while I go through the housekeeping. In the event that we need to evacuate the premises for whatever reason the stewards who are the ones in the navy blue blazers will guide you to safety. If there is a medical emergency please allow the trained medical personnel on the premises to deal with it." Emma said "I hope everyone enjoys this years motor show and now without further ado I'll shut up and find myself a spot to watch the first showcase from."

Emma stepped down from the stage allowing the first exhibitors to take over...


OOC - Basically whoever wants to post your showcase and follow each other.

Khayami Cars stand featuring the Dena

Khayami Cars was the main auto manufacturing business in Tamora. The high tariffs on goods that Tamora placed on all imports including cars coupled with a ban on foreign investment meant that many Tamoran industries were lagging behind the other more advanced economies of Mundus and Khayami Cars was no exception. They had been struggling for years and their Dena car was their latest model which barely managed to keep the company afloat. The automaker has almost 90% of its sales in Tamora and because of slavery sanctions as well as strict environment regulations the Dena was available for sale in very few Mundus countries, most of them poor like Zimalia.

Khayami Cars did not expect that they would be able to certify their model to meet the pollution requirements in Achkaerin and instead participated at the show mostly for marketing purposes relating to the Tamoran domestic market. They were here to show the company had an international presence.


The Dena was described as “a low cost no thrills car” with a price tag of 10,000 dinars/USD

Because the Dena was he only model available for show, the stand was rather small and the organizers did not expect much interest from the public. In  order to raise some interest they  organized a raffle where visitors at their stand could win and a two weeks all expenses trip to Tamora and Royal Seleucid. The prizes were meant to promote the joint bid Tamora and Royal Seleucid had placed to host the Mundus Games.


Imam Halami, marketing director Khayami Cars, was also present at the event for talks with the press
