UFC and AYLA to Be Exhibited at 20th Indonesia International Motor Show
P.T. Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM), a subsidiary of DAIHATSU
MOTOR CO., LTD. (Daihatsu) in Indonesia, plans to exhibit
four concept cars, including the UFC, which will be shown for
the first time anywhere in the world, and AYLA, which is set
to reach the market, along with a range of new technologies
at the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show to be held
from Thursday September 20 to Sunday September 30, 2012 in
Jakarta, Indonesia.
For this year's Indonesia International Motor Show, Daihatsu
has adopted the slogan "Daihatsu is Best Friend of Life," and
will demonstrate Daihatsu's corporate group attitude of
offering vehicles suitable for Indonesian life using
fuel-efficient, eco-friendly, and affordable technologies for
compact cars.
UFC is a concept car that ADM took the lead in developing,
using Daihatsu's expertise in compact cars, which has been
honed through manufacturing mini vehicles. ADM has carefully
studied customers' needs in Indonesia and has achieved a
compact body, stylish design, and large interior space. The
seats can be arranged in different ways and the car has slide
doors. The ADM is surprisingly convenient and can be used in
a range of living conditions in Indonesia. It conforms to the
theme of the exhibition: "Best Friend of Life."
D-R and D-X express surprise and amusement stemming from
completely different styles on the same chassis. D-R is
stylish and elegant, while D-X is tough and aggressive. A
resin-based body whose parts are interchangeable allows
owners to enjoy two different styles. The car has a
two-cylinder engine with direct-injection turbo. With this
engine, Daihatsu has pursued conventional technology and
struck a balance between the joy of driving and fuel
efficiency. The vehicle offers a driving experience with that
sense of oneness between driver and vehicle that only a
compact car can provide, as well as a new form for a sports
car.
FC Show CASE, developed as a zero-emission, next-generation
mobility solution, employs a next-generation unit equipped
with liquid fuel cells that contain no precious metals. With
this offering, Daihatsu suggests new possibilities for a
compact car as a zero-emission vehicle that leads the way to
a secure and free energy future.
