InnoTrans has announced that Chinese bus manufacturer, BYD and Hungarian manufacturer, Ikarus will exhibit at the trade fair for the first time in 2024.
At its debut, BYD will showcase three buses at the Bus Display and test track in the Summer Garden.
Meanwhile, Ikarus will present two buses: the V4 version of its 12-metre Ikarus 120e electric city bus and an 8-metre electric midi bus.
Ikarus has a partnership with Siemens and will also display the company’s latest e-Line smart pantographs on its stand.
Roland Fehér, CEO of Ikarus said:We are pleased that Ikarus is making its first appearance at InnoTrans. The event is a great opportunity for us to present our technical progress and discuss potential partnerships for driving the future of sustainable transport and develop new business leads. We look forward to face-to-face meetings.
InnoTrans will take place from 24 to 27 September. The event will include a Public Transport & Interiors segment covering a display area of around 40,000 m². The exhibit will present innovations such as new drive systems and engines, interiors, air-conditioning, and timetable management for bus fleets.
In addition to BYD and Ikarus, manufacturers such as Arthur Bus, Ebusco, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, Neso Bus and K-Bus will exhibit at the event. A 12-metre DB Regio AG electric ShowBus will also operate on the grounds.
Bus presentations will take place on the 500-metre-long Demonstration Course, where visitors will be able to take test drives.
