It’s going to be a busy late September for bus people, with exhibitions in Hannover and Berlin, and at the same time!

The world’s largest commercial vehicle exhibition, now named IAA Transportation, will be held in Hanover on September 20-25. With the same start date, but ending two days earlier, Innotrans was held in Berlin. It is good that the train journey between Hanover and Berlin does not take long in the world.

The large international multi-manufacturers with buses and goods/trucks in this program can naturally be found at the IAA. Here we find heavy players like Iveco, Daimler Truck, MAN, Scania and Volvo. And then we have to pay attention to German start-up Quantron, which has electric trucks and buses in its program. The company’s new electric bus will be featured at the IAA. We also see that big Chinese manufacturers like BYD and Dongfeng will come to IAA.

innotrans

Innotrans was originally an exhibition for rail public transport. It also dominates this year’s fair, but few pure bus manufacturers have taken notice of this exhibition. This exhibition is also better than the IAA in terms of telling the news at the exhibition. On the Messe Berlin website we read, among other things, that Solaris Poland has the Urbino 18 Hydrogen fuel cell bus, which is an 18-meter articulated bus in the Urbino program.

Czech Skoda also featured the fuel cell bus, the new koda H’City, as well as the T’City 36TR trolley bus with consistent low floors and newly designed bodywork. Several electric buses that have previously appeared on Bussmagasinet.no, namely VDL Citea and Van Hool’s A12, have also premiered on Innotrans. Ebuco also brings news to the exhibition.
