FIAA 2026 positions itself as the bus and coach sector's key strategic partner - Sustainable Bus

"The next edition of FIAA, the International Bus and Coach Trade Fair, will take place in September 2026 at a key moment for the road passenger transport sector, which enters the year with strong prospects and clear growth trajectories. The industry faces a scenario marked by profound transformations and structural challenges that will define its evolution in the short and medium term. It must confront challenges such as sustainability, digitalisation, franchise renewals, driver recruitment, adaptation to a changing regulatory framework and the necessary balance between investment and profitability; in this context, the sector needs spaces for support, analysis and cooperation."

"Against this backdrop, FIAA, organised by IFEMA MADRID, reinforces its position as the sector's leading strategic ally, providing a platform where manufacturers, operators, public authorities and suppliers can share knowledge, assess solutions and move forward together in addressing these challenges. "Looking ahead to the next edition, FIAA is evolving to respond to real needs and to be the sector's primary strategic partner," states David Moneo, the fair's director. "Our role is to support professionals at a time of change, facilitating meetings, dialogue and access to solutions that help them make informed decisions.""

FIAA 2026 will be held 22–24 September at IFEMA MADRID and will prioritise internationalisation, sustainability and digitalisation for passenger road transport. The sector faces profound transformations and structural challenges including franchise renewals, driver recruitment, regulatory adaptation and balancing investment with profitability. FIAA positions itself as a strategic platform for manufacturers, operators, public authorities and suppliers to share knowledge, assess solutions and cooperate. Spain's bus market shows strong momentum with nearly 60,000 vehicles and over 4,300 new registrations in 2025, reinforcing the need for industry support, dialogue and practical solutions ahead of 2026.
