Early-bird discount for exhibitors available until November 28, 2025 – IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 continues its role as the global platform for sustainable innovation in logistics and transport – building on the success of 2022 and 2024.
As the leading international platform for the commercial vehicle, transport, and logistics industries, IAA TRANSPORTATION brings together key players in the sector – from global manufacturers and innovative startups to technology and infrastructure partners.
It showcases groundbreaking technologies, connects key stakeholders, and demonstrates how individual innovations can be intelligently and sustainably integrated. Registration for IAA TRANSPORTATION is now open – exhibitors who register here by November 28, 2025, can secure a 10 percent early-bird discount on booth rental fees.
Following the successful events in 2022 and 2024, IAA TRANSPORTATION will once again take place at the Deutsche Messe grounds in Hanover from September 15 to 20, 2026.
“IAA TRANSPORTATION is where the future of transport and logistics is discussed and shaped. This is where manufacturers, technology partners, infrastructure providers, suppliers, and logistics companies come together to develop solutions for climate-neutral and digitally connected mobility and logistics. We look forward to once again setting new impulses in 2026, making innovation visible, and working together toward a sustainable future,” says Jürgen Mindel, Managing Director of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA).
WE DELIVER: Innovation and Sustainability at the Heart of IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026
The new motto “WE DELIVER” encapsulates the mission of IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026: to champion a collective drive toward climate-neutral logistics and transport, fueled by innovation, digitalization, and intelligent partnerships.
From electric, hybrid, battery, and fuel cell drivetrains to biofuels, synthetic fuels, and Euro 7 combustion engines; from connected and autonomous vehicles to software-driven logistics systems, smart fleet management, urban mobility concepts, and real-world feasibility studies – the central question remains: How can the industry deliver together – ecologically, economically, and socially?
Charging infrastructure will also be a major focus, highlighting the importance of nationwide and international public charging networks. IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 provides space for ideas, inspiration, and exchange on sustainable mobility, digitalization, energy, and infrastructure – showing how intelligent and sustainable integration of innovative technologies across the entire value chain can make transformation a reality.
In September 2026, commercial vehicle and bus manufacturers, body and trailer builders, micromobility providers, cargo bike and light vehicle companies, suppliers, technology providers, service companies, and startups will gather in Hanover to showcase how the commercial vehicle and transport sectors are driving change.
IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 consists of five event elements: At IAA Exhibition, national and international exhibitors will present their innovations to a global professional audience. At the IAA Conference, global thought leaders, decision-makers, visionaries, and experts from the logistics and transport industries will discuss the key challenges of our time and present their solutions and visions for the future of transport in keynotes and panel discussions across two stages. The IAA Experience invites trade visitors to engage hands-on: attendees can test-drive the latest commercial vehicles and cargo bikes on-site, while exhibitors can demonstrate their transport use cases in real-world scenarios. The IAA Startup Area offers young companies the opportunity to showcase their innovations alongside leading market players. In addition, IAA TRANSPORTATION will once again host the popular Driver & Family Weekend, welcoming casual visitors in 2026.
