Just a few months from now, SOLUTRANS 2025, the international gathering of the commercial vehicle industry, will once again highlight the excellence of European professionals, and their unity. In a constantly changing world, marked by economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and upheaval in world trade, the need for the haulage sector to pull together has never been more pressing. And SOLUTRANS is the major and federating event for this show of force.

A solid sector in an uncertain world

The instability that the world is experiencing today – fuelled by armed conflict, the evolving trade policies of major powers, and economic turmoil worldwide – could be seen by many as a threat. But to the haulage industry, it is above all a signal: that of the urgency of conveying a strong, coherent and future-focussed image.

Europe can take pride in being a global leader in haulage. We have the best skills, effective infrastructure, and most of all, we are at the forefront of technological innovation: alternative powertrains, digitalisation, safety, energy transition, etc. The industry is innovating, anticipating, and advancing.

A show to federate, share and act

SOLUTRANS is not just a tradeshow. It is a point of convergence, a pivotal moment in time when professionals – manufacturers, carriers, parts suppliers, start-ups, decision makers – will convene and demonstrate, together, that our sector is dynamic, resilient, and that it doesn’t back down when faced with a challenge.

For over 50 years, road transport has forged its status as an essential pillar of the economy. It still is today, and it will continue to be so tomorrow. In this respect, taking part in SOLUTRANS 2025, as an exhibitor or a visitor, is a way of shouldering your responsibilities, supporting your industry and stepping up to shape your future.

An international showcase, a collective message

With all this in mind, SOLUTRANS is much more than a tradeshow: it is a declaration of intent. It is the place where people come together to discuss, scrutinise, and together invent the solutions of the future. It is where we show the world that the European haulage sector is not wavering, that it is united, organised and ready to rise to all the challenges ahead.

Bringing the industry together around SOLUTRANS is our way of declaring that we believe in our collective power. In so doing, we boldly fly the flag of a strategic, innovative and responsible sector.
