BUS2BUS 2021 will take place in Berlin in April 2021

No IAA Commercial Vehicles this year: for the German bus industry the next meeting occasion will occur in spring 2021. At least, this is the intention of BUS2BUS‘ organizers, that today have announced that next year’s BUS2BUS will take place from 14 to 15 April in Halls 18, 19, 20 and the Palais am Funkturm at Messe Berlin.

Different halls, a shorter duration (two days) and an event featuring virtual elements: that is the response of BUS2BUS to the coronavirus crisis, which impacts the bus industry and trade fairs in equal measure. The setting will feature halls bathed in natural light as well as outside displays.
