AutoBusExpo marks the vibrant return of the International Bus Salon, showcasing new technologies in passenger transport, current industry trends, and the latest innovations from manufacturers. By combining static exhibits with dynamic LCV test drives on an outdoor track, exhibitors gain greater opportunities to effectively present their brands.
“This exhibition is very important in terms of direct contact with consumers. These are highly productive and efficient business relationships,” — emphasized Vladimir Yanushko, Deputy General Director and Marketing Director of JSC MAZ.
Unique test drive of commercial vehicles, including LCV:
A highlight of AutoBusExpo is its dynamic commercial vehicle test drive, unmatched by any other industry event. According to 2025 statistics, over four days, 786 individual drives were completed across 13 models, including LCVs.
“The test drive is a great new idea that should be promoted as much as possible. It’s fantastic that it was organized here — it gives our potential customers and ordinary visitors the chance not just to look at a vehicle, but to actually experience it in motion. That’s really great,” — said Petr Gribachyov, PR Manager at Sollers.
Business program of the Trucks & Bus Forum
The professional focal point for experts was the Trucks & Bus Forum, which in 2025 gathered 791 delegates. Four days of open dialogue among representatives of businesses, manufacturers, industry associations, analytical and research centers were dedicated to key issues of the commercial and passenger transport market.
A new addition was a series of business events for engineers. Organizers also held specialized sessions and practical seminars for passenger transport professionals, including the 20th anniversary celebration of the “United Transport System – Bus Lines of the Country” Association, hosted during the open meeting of the Public Council under the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.
