Fundamentals driving growth in Asia
more than half worlds population
low vehicle density (currently 1 vehicle per xxx people)
poised for growth (economies / incomes)
speed & depth of recovery will be driven by policy fundamentals
Growth over next 10 years will be greater than that of Europe & North America combined
