THE ORGANISERS OF IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 WILL ENHANCE THE INTERACTIVE VISITOR EXPERIENCE WITH TEST DRIVES FROM MAN TRUCK & BUS AND VOLVO TRUCKS
IAA Transportation 2026 will once again showcase the Test Drive program, which gives visitors a chance to experience the latest, most efficient, and most connected transportation solutions firsthand. This offering has generated tremendous enthusiasm — and even greater demand — in the past, which is the reason why it’s being expanded even further for IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026.
The spotlight falls squarely on Hall 11 at the Hannover exhibition grounds. A new hall concept gives exhibitors MAN Truck & Bus and Volvo Trucks the generous floor space they need to offer visitors test drives straight from their stands. Each test drive will launch directly out of Hall 11 — staged for maximum impact.
