Hanover Show cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic

Hanover, Germany: This year’s IAA Commercial Vehicles Show, due to take place in September this year, has been cancelled because of the Covid-19 crisis.

The organisers of the show say: “It was a difficult decision to make. Yet in view of the overall situation in Europe and around the world, we do not see any possibility of holding the IAA this year in its familiar form as a platform for exhibitors and visitors.

“Many countries have travel restrictions that will remain in force for several months to come. Large events have been prohibited over the coming months in nearly all European countries. Given the situation with the Corona pandemic, face-to-face meetings can no longer be held at a trade fair and particularly at the IAA.”

The exhibitors and service providers have been informed of the cancellation at this early stage in order to keep the economic consequences for the companies to a minimum.

The next IAA Commercial Vehicles will take place in September 2022.
