IAA TRANSPORTATION offers you a comprehensive overview of how far industry and logistics have already come in implementing core topics of the future. This notably includes the decarbonization of road freight transport, the expansion of alternative powertrains, the digitalization of processes, and the development of high-performance infrastructure. 

You will gain insights into concrete projects, market-ready technologies, and current developments along the entire value chain—from vehicle manufacturers and suppliers to energy, tech, and infrastructure companies. 

This holistic view allows you to better evaluate policy measures and regulatory initiatives, enabling you to develop them further on a well-founded basis. IAA TRANSPORTATION thus becomes a place where you can experience the progress of this transformation firsthand, rather than just in theory. 

The successful transformation of the industry requires close communication between politics, public administration, and the business sector. IAA TRANSPORTATION creates the ideal environment for this: here, you will meet companies from across the entire value chain—from international manufacturers and suppliers to innovative technology providers and startups. 

This direct dialogue enables you to gain a firsthand understanding of challenges, requirements, and perspectives. At the same time, it offers an opportunity to collaboratively discuss regulatory issues, political objectives, and concrete implementation strategies. 

Whether it involves licensing procedures, infrastructure planning, funding programs, or legal frameworks—IAA TRANSPORTATION promotes open exchange and helps develop sustainable solutions through the collaboration of all stakeholders. 

For political and regulatory decisions, it is crucial to understand which technologies are ready for deployment today and where development is still needed. 

Whether it's charging infrastructure for battery-electric vehicles, hydrogen solutions, alternative fuels, or automated and connected systems—you will experience technologies not just as concepts, but in concrete applications and real-world scenarios. 

Therefore, IAA Experience focuses heavily on hands-on discovery and trying out the latest innovations. A particular highlight is the Test Drives, which make the newest, most efficient, and connected transport solutions immediately tangible. Here, during accompanied test drives, the latest low-emission and zero-emission light and heavy commercial vehicles of all classes, as well as buses, can be tested on the exhibition grounds or on public roads. Hall 11 at Hannover exhibition grounds is a central focus here: a new hall concept allows exhibitors MAN Truck & Bus and Volvo Trucks to offer test drives for visitors directly from their spacious stands. The respective test drive even starts directly out of Hall 11. In Halls 14/15, many other companies offer test drives with the latest trucks and vans. In addition, ADAS & Telematics demonstrations bring driver assistance and telematics systems to life during accompanied drives on the exhibition grounds, and the Cargobike Course will provide a realistic testing environment for cargo bike innovations. 

These practical insights help you target regulatory measures effectively, design funding instruments wisely, and set clear priorities. At the same time, it highlights where political momentum is needed to accelerate innovation or break down market barriers.
