The Buzz

With its ‘all about the truck’ mantra, RTX features a vast 200-plus exhibitor line-up of the latest vehicles, equipment and fleet services.

All the major HGV OEMs will be at the show – DAF, Iveco, Isuzu Trucks, MAN, MercedesBenz, Renault Trucks, Scania and Volvo – with their latest vehicle ranges to explore on the stands or take for a test drive over at the Ride & Drive zone (or simply a ride in the passenger seat if you prefer).

RTX is also a perfect opportunity to catch up with your industry colleagues and make those all-important new business connections.

To make the most of your day at RTX, why not browse roadtransportexpo.co.uk to help you decide which stands to put on your ‘must visit’ list. You can filter by a simple A-Z search of company names or by product type.

The interactive floorplan, found on the RTX website, will help you locate your preferred stands and see where everyone is placed around the venue.

And for those preferring to use their phones to find their way around, an RTX app will be available for visitors to download. This will also keep you in the loop for any exhibitor announcements or product demonstrations taking place on stands.
