IAA TRANSPORTATION offers a unique, streamlined overview of the entire value chain within the transport, logistics, and commercial vehicle industry—ranging from vehicle manufacturers, trailers, and bodies to suppliers, infrastructure providers, digital platforms, and services. 

As a decision-maker, this gives you the opportunity to identify and evaluate market trends early on: Which technologies are gaining traction? Which business models are becoming essential? Where are new dependencies emerging, and where lie the fresh opportunities? 

This holistic view is critical, especially during a phase of profound transformation where regulatory mandates, technological innovations, and economic conditions are deeply intertwined. IAA TRANSPORTATION provides the solid foundation you need to make evidence-based, future-proof strategic decisions. 

IAA TRANSPORTATION brings the industry's most critical players together in one location. At the same time, new competitors and international providers are entering the landscape, injecting fresh dynamics into the market with innovative concepts and technologies.

This also includes Mercedes-Benz Vans, who have confirmed their participation with a dedicated showcase.

Whether it involves electrification, battery and fuel-cell technologies, alternative fuels, automated and connected driving, or software-driven logistics solutions—IAA TRANSPORTATION showcases the defining technologies that will shape the industry in the coming years. 

What makes this particularly valuable for decision-makers is that these innovations are not presented merely as visions. Instead, they are demonstrated through concrete applications, pilot projects, and market-ready solutions. This allows for a realistic assessment of investment risks, scaling potential, and integration viability into your existing business models. 

Additionally, critical topics such as charging infrastructure, energy supply, data platforms, telematics, and intelligent fleet management will take center stage. This turns IAA TRANSPORTATION into a practical, real-world decision-making environment for your investments and innovations. 

With IAA Conference, the event features a high-caliber program hosting top international speakers, decision-makers, and thought leaders. Keynotes, panels, and discussions will address the industry's most critical questions—from decarbonization, digitalization, and AI to new business models and global supply chains.

The conference program is complemented by extensive networking opportunities throughout the venue and within exclusive meeting spaces. This makes IAA TRANSPORTATION a premier environment where high-level knowledge transfer, strategic opinion-sharing, and networking converge.
