CIBE is an established international trade exhibition focused on the public transport and bus industry. Now in its fourteenth edition, the event has grown to become one of the leading platforms in the Asia-Pacific region for the bus and coach market, attracting exhibitors and visitors from more than 30 countries. The event is organised by China International Bus Expo and held across a large-scale exhibition floor at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

The exhibition floor brings together companies operating across the full spectrum of the bus industry, including whole vehicle manufacturers, bus and coach component suppliers, charging infrastructure providers and intelligent transport system developers. Previous editions have drawn in excess of 200 exhibitors and 25,000 professional visitors, with participation from government authorities, foreign consulates and international business associations including chambers of commerce. The event has consistently featured some of the sector’s major original equipment manufacturers.

Key Themes

CIBE has in recent years centred on themes relating to sustainable public transport, with a particular focus on green bus technology, electric and fuel cell propulsion, and environmentally conscious urban mobility solutions. These themes reflect broader industry trends driving procurement and policy decisions across China and international markets alike.
