Edipresse AS Romania is launching AUTO BILD
 
On October 17, 2008, Edipresse AS Romania will be launching AUTO BILD, Europe’s most widely read automobile magazine. AUTO BILD is the best selling automotive title in its home market Germany. AUTO BILD Romania will be published every 14 days with an initial circulation of 21,000 copies.

AUTO BILD Romania is the 33rd international edition of the world’s largest automobile magazine. Razvan Magureanu (41 years old), with an impressive experience of 16 years in automotive magazine publishing, will be the editor-in-chief of AUTO BILD Romania.

AUTO BILD supplies information on the most important trends in the world of motor vehicles. One of the principal features of the magazine is the road trials and comparative tests which provide readers with practical assistance and information on deciding which car to buy.

AUTO BILD also has a loyal readership among car enthusiasts who especially value the title’s in-depth feature stories on new car models and the latest industry developments.

In addition, AUTO BILD has been successful in capturing the attention of younger readers who, while not necessarily being of legal driving age, are however interested in numerous automotive related topics. Thus unlike other car titles, AUTO BILD does not have an ageing and declining readership base.

“Just as the whole of the eastern European market, the Romanian magazine market still holds much potential. The reactions of advertising clients already confirm our expectations for success for AUTO BILD Romania”, stated Cristina Simion, Managing Director Edipresse AS Romania.


Alongside Germany and Romania, AUTO BILD is published in Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Greece, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Italy, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Mexico, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, the Czech Republic, Thailand, Turkey, the Ukraine and Hungary.
