FIAA confirms the appointment for 6-9 October 2020. Given the situation caused by the COVID 19 and aware of the difficulties that this industry is going through, the exhibition wishes to contribute towards normalising the sector as soon as possible.

Therefore, IFEMA announces it is maintaining the dates for the largest Trade Fair in Southern Europe for the sale of services, materials and components for bus fleets, from the 6 to 9 October, at its facilities at Feria de Madrid, in order to help promote business relations and to activate the market for year-end and for 2021.
