XJTAG joins Dream Marketing's European Automotive Road Show

CAMBRIDGE, England--Feb. 1, 20060, 2006--XJTAG (www.xjtag.com), a leading supplier of boundary scan development tools, has signed up for Dream Marketing's 26-day, three-country, 20-site Road Show as a means of directly targeting European automotive electronics and design/development engineers working for major suppliers in the industry.

Dream Marketing's purpose-built mobile exhibition vehicle will visit 20 automotive companies across the UK, Germany and France during March 2006 - with proposed stops at Bentley, Jaguar, Nissan, Ford, TRW in the UK; Ford, Visteon, JCI, Delphi, Adam Opel, Hyundai, Faurecia, Daimler Chrysler, Audi, Porsche, TRW in Germany; and Delphi, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Renault, Valeo and Johnson Controls in France.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for us to talk directly to automotive engineers looking for a modern way to debug and test their complex and tightly-packed printed circuits which are increasingly populated with ball grid array (BGA) devices and which cannot be tested by traditional methods," says Simon Payne, XJTAG's CEO. "We see the automotive market as a major growth area for the company particularly as electronics are now such an integral part of automotive systems and account for as much as one fifth of the cost of a new vehicle."

Dream Marketing's innovative approach of taking the show to the customer provides an economical way for companies of all sizes to penetrate an industry sector. The vehicle comprises 24 exhibition stands, a private meeting area, full audio and catering facilities. This year's Automotive Road Show features over 20 companies that are targeting the automotive sector including, among others, Atmel, Cambridge Silicon Radio, ebm-papst, Green Hills Software, Mentor Graphics, Optrex and Tele Atlas.
