Autocar Expo was launched in 2008 at the instigation of the market’s leading players, who had noted the lack of an event in France designed to raise awareness of and promote this mode of transport. These players included Iveco Bus, MAN/Neoplan, Mercedes-Benz, Dietrich Carebus, Volvo and Setra, amongst others.
Following its first editions in Nice and Bordeaux, the trade fair moved to Lyon, at Eurexpo: There were 68 exhibitors at the first edition in 2008; this figure doubled by the 2018 edition, marking the tenth anniversary and the sixth edition (Autocar Expo is a biennial event).
In 2020, like almost all trade fairs in France, Autocar Expo was cancelled due to COVID-19.
The event will therefore return in 2022, after a four-year hiatus!
During Autocar Expo, exhibitors will be keen to offer their visitors a modern, high-quality audiovisual experience, with the support of their partner, A-Loc Audiovisuel

With 120 exhibitors in 2018, none in 2020 (due to COVID-19!), and 130 exhibitors in 2022, the exhibition has doubled in size since its first edition in 2008.
For this latest edition, exhibitors will be able to rely on their partner, A-Loc Audiovisuel, to provide them with the latest innovations in the events industry; they will be able to hire interactive LED flooring, fine-pitch LED walls, transparent screens and more...
