Hyundai and General Motors Outline E-Business Strategy In Singapore on February 20-22, 2001

    LONDON, Oct. 18 The following press release was issued
today by EyeForAuto:

    Top level E-Business executives from Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan
Motor Company, Hyundai Motor Company, General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, Ford,
Volvo, Cummins Corporation, Dana and Motorola meet to discuss and debate the
key E-Business issues for Asian automotive companies in Singapore,
February 22 - 22, 2001.  http://www.eyeforauto.com/singapore .
    Mr. Jung-Kook Paeng, Senior Vice President & CIO of Hyundai Motor Company
& Kia Motors Corporation and one of the keynote speakers at the event says
that:  "The possibility of an integrated Asian automotive supply chain
electronically seems distant from realization.  However, the advance of
E-Business strategy and technology will enable the Asian automotive industry
to quickly respond to the threat of losing any global market share."
    This international forum will bring together the most influential people
in the business to discuss the future of the Internet on the automotive
industry.  Over the 3 days Asia's heavyweights will learn and exchange views
on E-Supply Chain, E-CRM, Telematics and the role of Online Market Exchanges.
    Another speaker, General Motors e-GM Director Terrence Johnsson will
discuss how GM is building a new internet driven OEM in Asia and adds that:
"The potential of E-Commerce in Asia is huge.  Some have spoken of the
internet's impact on Asia.  We believe that history will speak of Asia's
impact on the internet."
    Conference speakers include senior executives from APL Logistics,
PSA Corporation and Toyota Australia, Dana, Kia Motors Corporation and more,
