Road Transport Expo back with a bang this summer!

With its ‘all about the truck’ mantra, it combines a vast exhibition of the latest vehicles, equipment and fleet services with a free-to-attend drop-in conference programme. 

All the major HGV OEMs will be at the show – DAF, IVECO, Isuzu Trucks, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Renault Trucks, Scania and Volvo – with their latest vehicle ranges to explore on the stands or take for a test drive at the Ride & Drive (or just as a passenger if you prefer). 

Over in the Knowledge Zone, a three-day drop-in conference schedule will cover a range of industry topics, from fleet compliance and safety through to decarbonisation and recruitment. 

And on the opening morning of the event, the stage will be hosting a Logistics UK-led series of ‘Transport Compliance Briefings’ – ideal for busy fleet managers and directors who want to hear directly from leading industry figures, including Traffic Commissioner Kevin Rooney and transport lawyer Andrew Brammer. 

RTX is also a perfect opportunity to catch up with your industry colleagues and make those all-important new business connections. 

A major emphasis has been placed on the visitor experience and the organisers will be pulling out all the stops to make sure visitors get the most from their time at the event.   

There will be tasty food outlets, including: an on-site farm shop; seating areas to relax with colleagues or meet with new customers; and easy signage and navigational tools, such as a brand-new RTX app for 2023. 

“We can’t wait to welcome visitors to RTX this summer,” said Vic Bunby, divisional director at show organiser Road Transport Media.  

“With more exhibitors and an enhanced visitor experience, we believe the event provides an ideal platform for fleet operators to explore the latest technology, while networking with industry peers. We do hope to see you all there this June!” 

Last year’s show visitors were delighted with the wide range of exhibitors taking part in RTX, with 92% rating the number of stands to explore as ‘excellent/good’ and a whopping 95% rating the calibre of those companies as ‘excellent/good’. 

And the exhibitors themselves enjoyed the event, with some glowing things to say about the debut RTX: 

• “The buzz on the first day from visitors and exhibitors was contagious. At last, a proper Truck Show!” Edward Barrie, SMUK 
• “For EQUANS, the event was a fantastic opportunity for us to exchange knowledge and ideas about green mobility with the commercial vehicle industry. We had many insightful, positive conversations with partners and potential customers, and built invaluable relationships with other exhibitors over the few days.” Ella Gibbs, Senior Marketing Executive, EQUANS 
• “Road Transport Expo was a great event – it was a brilliant place to network with both potential clients and peers within the industry and great fun for anyone with an interest in trucks.” Kjell Anderton, Fleet Focus 

RTX takes place from 28-30 June at NAEC Stoneleigh, Warwickshire and is completely free to attend and to park.
