Trade fairs: Commercial vehicle show ends with records and demands
At the IAA Transportation in Hanover, the commercial vehicle industry presented its innovations - now it is sending a clear message to Berlin and Brussels.
Over 140,000 people visited the IAA Transportation fair in Hannover, according to the Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA). The event, which ran from Tuesday, featured 1,600 exhibitors from 46 countries, including more than 150 world premieres. A record 84 vehicles from 17 exhibitors were available for testing, with 8,500 test drives taking place.
VDA chief Hildegard Müller stated that the industry is providing solutions for a climate-neutral and digital future for road freight transport. Müller called on policymakers in Berlin and Brussels to create the necessary framework conditions, particularly for building charging infrastructure and hydrogen filling stations.
