ComAutoTrans 2026 - international exhibition and test drive of commercial vehicles

ComAutoTrans is a unique B2B exhibition platform in Russia where leading manufacturers demonstrate a wide range of commercial vehicles at a favorable time for establishing new contacts. It is not only a static exposition, but also a rare opportunity for practical evaluation of vehicles — the only commercial transport test drive in Russia with high demand among a professional audience.

“Many companies begin budgeting for the next year in September–October, and now is the best time to form an impression of a vehicle that may become part of an updated fleet. The timing of the exhibition was chosen correctly — it is more relevant than November or December,” emphasized exhibitor representative Mikhail Semenikhin, Head of the “Avior Commercial Vehicles” division at the company “Paradauto-M.”

Unique commercial transport test drive:

A distinctive feature of the ComAutoTrans exhibition is the dynamic commercial transport test drive, which has no equivalent at other industry events. According to 2025 statistics, 786 unique test drives were conducted over four days on 13 vehicle models presented at the event.

“The test drive format combined with an exhibition is not very common, yet it is a very good initiative and an opportunity not only to show a vehicle statically, but also to immediately offer the client a test drive. As we saw, the track was never idle, the vehicles were constantly being driven — I believe this is a valuable experience. There were existing clients, but also new ones,” noted exhibitor representative Dmitry Listov, Commercial Director of “Remex Truck.”

Business program Trucks&Bus Forum

The key point of professional attraction for specialists is the Trucks&Bus Forum business platform, which was attended by 791 delegates in 2025. Four days of open dialogue between representatives of business, manufacturers, industry associations and analytical and research centers were dedicated to key issues of the commercial and passenger transport market.

A new feature of the business program was a series of events for engineers. The organizers also held industry-specific sessions and practical seminars for passenger transport professionals, including the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the “Unified Transport System ‘Bus Lines of the Country’” Association as part of an open meeting of the Public Council under the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.
