Busworld Turkey 2026 expands exhibition footprint

A total of 161 exhibitors have confirmed their participation in Busworld Turkey 2026, slightly growing from the 157 reported in 2024. Exhibition space will increase from 9,862 square metres in 2024 to 11,358 square metres (+15%), providing additional room for vehicles, components, technologies and services across the bus and coach supply chain.

The expansion is supported by a significant influx of new companies. Around 30 new Turkish exhibitors have joined the event, alongside new international participants from China, Germany, Mexico, Italy and Taiwan. The exhibitor mix reflects the continued development of both vehicle manufacturing and component supply activities linked to the Turkish market.

Turkish bus industry and international suppliers in focus

Busworld Turkey 2026 will showcase the capabilities of the Turkish bus and coach industry together with a growing presence of international suppliers. Among the vehicle manufacturers, Temsa is scheduled to return to the exhibition after a period of absence.

The supplier segment continues to expand with additional international companies, including new exhibitors from China, as well as further participation from Turkish component manufacturers and subcontractors. The exhibition will feature products and solutions covering vehicles, components, systems and technologies for domestic and export markets.

The event continues to receive support from major industry organizations including İSTAB (Istanbul Transporters Association), TÖHOB (Association of All Private Public Buses) and TOF (Federation of All Bus Operators).

Vincent Dewaele, General Manager of Busworld International, said: “We are very pleased with the continued growth of Busworld Türkiye. Türkiye plays a crucial role as a manufacturing and exporting country—not only for vehicles, but also for components and technologies. It is encouraging to see this reflected in the exhibition’s results, and we are convinced that Busworld Türkiye will continue to grow.”
