Helen Conway, Event Director, said:For three days, Euro Bus Expo becomes a showroom for the coach and bus industry, bringing together more than 80 vehicles for operators to explore first-hand. They can step aboard, examine the latest developments and see how manufacturers are responding to different operating requirements.
Whether they want to see what's new, understand what's changed or simply keep up with the market, there's plenty to discover, even if a fleet investment isn't on the horizon. It's an opportunity to compare the options and speak directly with the people developing and supplying the vehicles.
As well as vehicles, the exhibition will also include displays featuring equipment, technology and services from across the coach and bus industry, and the free Masterclass Theatre programme, sponsored by Elite Vehicle Supplies (part of Motormax Group), will feature 25 sessions on bus reform, coach operations, AI and automation, fleet transition, compliance and workforce planning.
Euro Bus Expo takes place in Halls 17–19 at the NEC Birmingham on 3–5 November 2026.
