BUS2BUS at InnoTrans 2026: The bus industry’s business platform is growing

The team will be providing information about BUS2BUS 2028, which is expanding both in Berlin and internationally. In addition, trade visitors will be able to experience the recording of the new BUS2Talk podcast series live at the CityCube.

Berlin, 25 August 2026 – BUS2BUS will be present at InnoTrans 2026 from 22 to 25 September. At the international trade show for transport technology, the team will be available in the CityCube to speak with exhibitors, trade visitors and the media.

BUS2BUS is growing: another day at the trade show and a presence in Asia

In recent years, BUS2BUS has developed into a key platform for the bus and supplier industry in Germany and Europe. This was also evident at the fifth edition of the event, held in April at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds: the number of trade visitors rose by 13 per cent, and the exhibition space was expanded to include an additional hall. BUS2BUS 2026 featured 156 exhibitors from 25 countries, 3,800 attendees and over 100 sessions in the stage program. A particular highlight was the 60 buses that visitors were able to experience first-hand. The positive response is also reflected in the survey results: 85 per cent of exhibitors plan to take part again, and around nine out of ten visitors would recommend BUS2BUS to others.

Messe Berlin is responding to this dynamic development: from 2028, BUS2BUS will be extended from two to three days. The trade show is also expanding its international presence: it will be represented with its own BUS2BUS Zone at InnoTrans Asia in Singapore from 7 to 9 September 2027.

InnoTrans 2026: BUS2BUS at the CityCube

At Booth 830 in the CityCube, Hall A, exhibitors can find out in person about taking part in BUS2BUS 2028. Those who plan early can take advantage of the first-mover offer. The BUS2BUS team will be on hand at the booth to advise on stand space, participation options and the exhibition concept. Booth registration is also available online.

Trade visitors will also find it worthwhile to visit the booth: as well as information on the upcoming BUS2BUS, there is a prize draw where you can win BUS2BUS goodies and free tickets for the next edition.
