IBE INTERMOBILITY FUTURE WAYS: RIMINI SHOWCASES THE MOBILITY OF THE FUTURE, WITH BUSES AT THE HEART OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT, SHARED MOBILITY, TOURISM AND DIGITAL INNOVATION

Over 100 companies, operators and mobility stakeholders come together to discuss digitalisation, service integration and new transport solutions

Rimini, 8 October 2026 – From 24 to 26 November, the Rimini Expo Centre will host the 12th edition of IBE INTERMOBILITY Future Ways, organised by Italian Exhibition Group in collaboration with the Foundation for Sustainable Development, ASSTRA and AN.BTI Confcommercio,  with technical support from EIT Urban Mobility and the National Observatory on Shared Mobility.  Public transport and tourist coach operators, vehicle manufacturers, digital solution providers and institutions will gather in Rimini to take stock of the challenges and opportunities presented by shared mobility.

THE MAIN PARTNERS OF THE IBE INTERMOBILITY FUTURE WAYS 2026 FORUM

The presence of long-standing players in the transport sector, such as RFI and Trenitalia, alongside companies that are helping to reshape the future of mobility, such as Nordcom, Lime and Tper, highlights the event’s growing status as a  key hub for the entire mobility ecosystem.  This reflects the broadening of the event’s scope and perspective, with an increasing focus on promoting dialogue between infrastructure, technology, digitalisation and innovative services centred on the user experience.

RFI will explore the role of governance and collaboration with the regional authorities in the development of intermodality, whilst Trenitalia will present the rail sector’s perspective on service integration and accessibility. Nordcom will contribute to the discussion on transport poverty and policies for a just transition. Tper and Lime will address the integration and co-funding of shared mobility from two complementary perspectives: that of local public transport and that of shared mobility services.

BUS MANUFACTURERS AND THE BUS SUPPLY CHAIN: THE EXHIBITORS
Reflecting its steady growth and the expansion of its exhibition scope into sectors of increasing strategic importance to the industry, this year’s event will feature a stronger presence from manufacturers, making the bus and coach segment one of its main attractions.
This development confirms the event’s ability to keep pace with an evolving market and to engage key players from across Europe and beyond.

Among the leading exhibitors are Daimler Buses, IVECO BUS, MAN, Scania, Irizar, Volvo Buses, ISUZU BUS, King Long, Otokar and VDL Bus Group, as well as new entrants Yutong and Alfabus.

Alongside the manufacturers, leading coachbuilders and  vehicle converters will also be present, including Aveuro International, Carind, Gruppo D’Auria, Indcar, Mercus and Tremonia Mobility, underlining the continuing importance of vehicle customisation to transport operators.

DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS: THE PARTNERS

Among the Forum’s partners, Freenow by Lyft – a digital platform for taxi services and multimodal mobility – will explore innovation in taxi and private hire services, as well as the prospects for autonomous driving. Voi Technology, an operator of shared electric micromobility schemes, and Lyft Urban Solutions, a provider of bike-sharing systems and technologies, will contribute to the discussion on vehicle-sharing services and their integration into urban mobility. Wayla Italia and Shotl will bring their expertise and solutions to the discussion on the potential of on-demand transport, ranging from digital platforms for service management to van pooling.  Zucchetti will explore the role of data in analysing home-to-work journeys.

Rounding off the section dedicated to technological and digital solutions for mobility, IVU Traffic Technologies will bring its expertise in IT solutions for public transport, from planning to fleet and service management. PTV Group will contribute technologies and software for mobility planning, simulation and management, whilst Terravision will focus on sustainable urban mobility, addressing the challenges of the last mile and possible solutions.

The exhibition will also feature Autogrill, Fleequid, ZF and Golia 360, which are active respectively in passenger services, the second-hand market, mobility technologies and fleet management, alongside Start Romagna and ATAC S.p.A., Rome’s transport operator, both of which are among the leading players in local public transport in Italy.

THE ROLE OF TRADE ASSOCIATIONS

Once again this year, IBE INTERMOBILITY Future Ways will be supported by AN.BTI Confcommercio, which, as usual, will host its general meeting and members’ dinner at the exhibition, and ASSTRA, which will organise an event with ANCI on Mobility Management. Both organisations have long been committed to fostering dialogue between businesses, operators and institutional decision-makers in order to meet the demand for new forms of mobility in urban and inland areas.

IBE  INTERMOBILITY Future Ways thus reaffirms its mission as a strategic hub for shared mobility, offering a platform for  knowledge-sharing, discussion and dialogue  among operators, industry representatives and stakeholders,  providing a comprehensive operational overview at a pivotal moment in the transition towards a new intermobility ecosystem.
