Iaa Transportation 2022: The World’s Most Important Industry Meeting For Transport And Logistics In Hanover
New name, new slogan, new concept – more than 1,400 exhibitors from 42 countries under the “People and goods on the move” slogan – the latest innovations can be seen live on-site
The world’s largest platform for transport and logistics restarts with a new innovative concept after the break caused by the pandemic. Formerly known as IAA Commercial Vehicles, which focused on light and heavy commercial vehicles, the new concept covers the entire transport and logistics spectrum. Lower Saxony’s Minister President Stephan Weil, Hanover’s Lord Mayor Belit Onay and VDA President Hildegard Müller will open IAA TRANSPORTATION on the 20th September.
“IAA TRANSPORTATION brings an industry, without which daily life would not function, into the public spotlight: commercial vehicles – whether small or large – are essential pillars for a functioning economy – both for transport and logistics. The industry’s innovative and sustainable solutions are already making an enormous contribution to climate protection. This includes buses, which will be in the spotlight at this year’s IAA. We can hardly wait to present many of the industry’s fascinating innovations and impressive new products at this IAA”, explained Hildegard Müller, the VDA President.
Jürgen Mindel, the CEO of VDA, is extremely satisfied with the level of interest shown in IAA Transportation: “the new concept received an extremely positive response. All of the planned hall spaces are fully booked out. We have registered a higher proportion of international exhibitors and partners than in previous years. More than 1,400 exhibitors from a total of 42 countries will be presenting their innovations and concepts. Amongst them are international and national manufacturers as well as suppliers, infrastructure providers, bus manufacturers, tech-companies, start-ups and, for the first time, cargo bike manufacturers. And exhibitors of trailers, truck trailers and constructors of superstructures as well as suppliers therefore are traditionally strongly represented again, they form by far the largest groups of exhibitors. This year we have over 260 exhibitors of trailers and special bodies and almost 600 suppliers”
“IAA Transportation is being held during an extremely challenging economic environment”, emphasized Müller and the forecast for the international commercial vehicle markets has been adjusted accordingly: “in view of the current tense economic situation and the high level of uncertainty, we only expect a slight 5 per cent increase in the heavy-duty European commercial vehicle market this year. We had to lower our forecast from +5 per cent to +2 per cent for the US commercial market. We have also recently lowered our 2022 forecast for the Chinese heavy-duty commercial vehicle market from -20 per cent to -35 per cent”.
“The companies, who are undeterred by this, are continuing to invest and innovate with commitment and determination in order to realize climate-neutral and digital transport systems. The entire industry will be showing just how successful it already is at IAA – and that it is setting global standards with its solutions. The new concept will enable this IAA to focus on the innovations and trends implemented along the path to climate-neutral logistics – and it will also enable visitors to grasp, explore and see these developments up close. We look forward to your visit,” said Müller.
