The next meeting of the French road passenger transport players is set for 12 to 15 October 2022, again at Eurexpo in Lyon.

Autocar Expo therefore joins a sadly long list of exhibition cancelled this year due to the pandemic. We can count Busworld India, IAA Commercial Vehicles, FIAA Madrid. The Italian exhibition IBE (International Bus Expo) is still confirmed for next week in Rimini, Italy.
