At the Taiwan-China Bike Summit, Taiwan Bicycle Association (TBA) chairman and Giant CEO Anthony Lo raised the issue of the differences in national standards of various countries involved in the supply chain of the bicycle industry.
“I recommend bicycle industry members in Taiwan and China to initiate discussions leading to the creation of common standards in both countries,” said Anthony Lo. “These standards could be used as a blueprint for other Asian countries.”
World-wide implementation
“As Asia is the world’s largest market and many industries are concentrated in this part of the world, I think that Asian standards will have a big influence on the international industry. In the end these Asian standards will be implemented world-wide,” stated Anthony Lo.
New name for TBEA
As of January 2014 the Taiwan Bicycle Exporters’ Association (TBEA) has changed its name. As the former TBEA now covers all aspects of the cycling and not only bicycle export related issues, the members decided to change the name or the industry organization to Taiwan Bicycle Association (TBA).
