The official opening ceremony for invited guests and media representatives will take place on Tuesday evening, November 4. Following the introduction and presentation by the organizers, the traditional procession through the exhibition halls will take place – with a few surprises at selected booths.

Whether electric drives with high-performance batteries, hydrogen fuel cells for long distances, or alternative solutions such as biofuels and synthetic fuels – commercial and private vehicles are facing a technological revolution. This requires the development of a suitable infrastructure: fast-charging parks, hydrogen filling stations, and logistics for alternative fuels must grow hand in hand with manufacturers.
