1,700 participants from 34 countries learned about various topics relating to the future of the bus industry, the organizer states. The focus was on issues such as alternative powertrains, autonomous driving, on-demand mobility and best practice examples, which were presented in cooperation with start-ups.
According to the organizer, the second BUS2BUS event was bigger in every sense: the exhibition space has more than doubled, the number of exhibitors increased by around 50% and the number of participants grew by 30%.
"BUS2BUS covers the whole range of future technologies. Innovations and trends form the core of our event concept. In Germany, the most important European market, the bus and supply industry lacked a dedicated business platform for its customers until the premiere of BUS2BUS two years ago, with a special focus on digital topics. We are right on track in conceptual terms, as demonstrated by the impressive key figures for this year's event," says Kerstin Kube-Erkens, Senior Product Manager of BUS2BUS.
