The IAA can look back at a tradition stretching over 120 years. Since its launch in 1897, the IAA has played a decisive role in the development of the automobile industry. 

The IAA Commercial Vehicles is the leading international platform for commercial vehicles industry. Since 2022, IAA Commercial Vehicles is expanding its concept, as IAA TRANSPORTATION, will for the first time give actors from the fields of commercial vehicles, buses, and logistics the opportunity to network with leading tech providers and suppliers. One major goal of the new concept is, as the first international platform in the transport sector, to focus more on climate-neutral and technological transformation in the entire transportation industry.

About IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026

As the leading international platform for the commercial vehicle, transport, and logistics industries, IAA TRANSPORTATION brings together the key players in the sector – manufacturers of commercial vehicles and buses, body and trailer producers, micromobility companies, cargo bike and small vehicle providers, suppliers, technology companies, service providers, and start-ups.

Under the new motto “WE DELIVER,” IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 represents a shared goal: to advance climate neutrality in logistics and transport through innovation, digitalization, and smart partnerships. Whether it’s electric, hybrid, battery, or fuel cell drives, bio-based and synthetic fuels, internal combustion engines (Euro 7), connected and autonomous vehicles, software-driven logistics systems, intelligent fleet solutions, urban mobility concepts, or real-world feasibility studies – the focus is on how the industry can deliver together in an ecological, economic, and societal sense. A major emphasis will also be placed on charging infrastructure, highlighting the need for a comprehensive expansion of public charging networks both nationally and internationally.

IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 is made up of five event elements. National and international exhibitors will present their innovations to a global professional audience on their display areas at the IAA Exhibition. At the IAA Conference, international thought leaders, decision-makers, visionaries, and experts from the logistics and transport sectors will discuss today’s most pressing challenges and share their solutions and visions for the future of global and regional transport through keynotes and panel discussions on two stages. The IAA Experience offers an interactive format that actively engages professional visitors, allowing them to test the latest commercial vehicles and cargo bikes live on site. Exhibitors also have the opportunity to impress professional visitors with real-world transport use cases. The IAA Startup Area gives start-ups the chance to showcase their innovations alongside market-leading companies. Additionally, in 2026, IAA TRANSPORTATION will once again welcome private visitors to the IAA Driver and Family Weekend.
