Award ceremony for the 'Bus of the Year – Intercity Edition'

Main Stage, Hall C1

The Bus of the Year – Intercity Edition Award Ceremony will bring together leading international bus manufacturers, industry representatives and members of the Bus of the Year jury to celebrate innovation, technological excellence and the future of intercity mobility.

The International Minibus, Bus and Coach of the Year Jury is an independent, democratic and non-profit organization bringing together leading trade magazines from across Europe. Founded in 1984 by 12 journalists from 12 countries, it has grown to include representatives from the leading bus and coach publications of 24 European countries.

Each year, this jury of specialized European journalists selects the Bus or Coach of the Year, recognizing the innovation, creativity and technological expertise of manufacturers developing increasingly advanced solutions for everyday mobility and passenger travel. Since its creation, the award has become a benchmark for excellence within the European bus and coach industry.

During the ceremony, each participating manufacturer will have the opportunity to present its nominated vehicle through a short pitch. The event will culminate in the official announcement of the Bus of the Year – Intercity Edition winner, followed by the award presentation and a networking aperitif.
