JAKARTA, Sept 20, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - In addition to exhibiting latest vehicles and technologies, accessories and other automotive related products, Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2014 also serves great attention to social activities. IIMS' social activities reflect the committee's commitment in providing a positive impact from the organization of IIMS, as well as the effort to give the best to the community.
IIMS' social activities were already conducted before the official opening of the exhibition, or on August to be precise. One of the activities was Student Visit to Assembly Plants, where students were invited to visit sole agents' manufacturing facilities. Participating sole agents (APM) in this activity were Suzuki, Nissan, Daihatsu, and Mercedes-Benz. In each facility, students received first-hand explanation on the working process in the facility. The committee hopes the experience gained from the activity will enable students to absorb new knowledge and understanding regarding automotive industry and motivate them to be part of the country's automotive industry. The students participating for this activity were students from several schools in Jakarta.
Besides pre-event activity, IIMS 2014 social commitment is also conducted during and throughout the exhibition such as Student Day. Student Day is visitation from several schools, public schools, vocational schools, and international schools, in Jabodetabek area to the venue of IIMS 2014. The visitations are intended to provide valuable opportunity to students and the disabled to witness the development of the country's automotive industry.
One of social activities that offer direct impact to the effort of improving education in Indonesia is engine donation and book donation. Through engine donation to vocational school majoring in engineering, IIMS provides the opportunity to practice what they learn at school and applied the knowledge using the engine. Meanwhile, the book donation activity shows the committee's efforts in emphasizing the importance of education, particularly early-childhood education.
IIMS also invites the community to take an active role in the book donation activity by donating books to several drop boxes provided at two major malls in Jakarta, namely Tamini Square and Mall Artha Gading. In addition, the committee also placed several drop boxes at 6 Gramedia bookstore branches namely Gramedia Matraman, Gramedia Kelapa Gading, Gramedia Grand Indonesia, Gramedia Central Park, Gramedia Pondok Indah, and Gramedia Depok.
"All of the books that we manage to collect from this activity will be donated to Yayasan Seribu Satu Buku (The Thousand and One Books Foundation) and Yayasan Lebah Buku (Bee Book Foundation). This is our small contribution toward the effort to improving education in Indonesia," said Abiyoso Wietono, Automotive Division Manager, Dyandra Promosindo. He added that IIMS will consistently carry out its social activities as part of the effort to educating the people of the nation.
Lively Weekend at IIMS 2014

Programs offered to visitors, among others, are Subaru All Wheels Drive Challenge, Subaru Palm Challenge, and Test Drive. All of these programs take place at the outdoor and loading area of JIExpo, Kemayoran.
Subaru All Wheels Drive Challenge that takes place at the outdoor area of Hall C is a new program in this year's exhibition that offers visitors the chance to experience the sensation to feel extreme hurdles on Subaru Forrester 2.0 Xi and Subaru 2.0.i.
