Strategic Expansion

Following the successful launch of the websites Zomoto.nl and Auto.nl, Media Moto will accelerate its growth from January 1st 2010, as the online automotive network will be extended with Routenet.nl.

The internet company operates a direct sales organisation with seven titles including the first and largest Dutch weblog Autoblog, which she acquired earlier, as well as the website focusing on women & cars: Carwoman.nl. The automotive Internet company is completely independent and not tied to a publisher or dealer organisation.
