Helen Conway, Event Director, comments:

“For three days, Euro Bus Expo becomes a showroom for the coach and bus industry, bringing together more than 80 vehicles for operators to explore first-hand. They can step aboard, examine the latest developments and see how manufacturers are responding to different operating requirements.

“Whether they want to see what’s new, understand what’s changed or simply keep up with the market, there’s plenty to discover, even if a fleet investment isn’t on the horizon. It’s an opportunity to compare the options and speak directly with the people developing and supplying the vehicles.”

Beyond the vehicles

Equipment, technology and services from across the coach and bus industry are on show throughout the exhibition. The free Masterclass Theatre programme, sponsored by Elite Vehicle Supplies (part of Motormax Group), features 25 sessions on bus reform, coach operations, AI and automation, fleet transition, compliance and workforce planning.

Registered coach and bus operators, local authorities and community transport organisations can also use Euro Bus Expo Connect, the event’s meeting-planning platform, sponsored by Troman Industries. It allows them to find exhibitors, request meetings before the show and build a personal schedule around their appointments and chosen Masterclass Theatre sessions.

Euro Bus Expo takes place in Halls 17–19 at the NEC Birmingham on 3–5 November 2026. Registration is free for industry professionals.

A guide to the vehicle line-up, including model details and key features, is available on our Vehicles at the Show page.
