IAA Transportation 2026

September 15-20, 2026

The IAA Commercial Vehicles is expanding its concept through IAA TRANSPORTATION, and will become the leading international platform for logistics, commercial vehicles, buses, and the transportation sector. Under the motto “People and Goods on the Move,” the new IAA TRANSPORTATION will take place in Hanover from September 15 to 20, 2026.  With an expanded event concept, it will pilot a network initiative to connect the relevant players from commercial vehicles, buses, and logistics sectors with leading tech providers and suppliers. An important goal of the new concept is to be the first international platform in the transport sector to increasingly focus on the climate-neutral and technological transformation of the entire transport sector.

At IAA TRANSPORTATION, exhibitors and trade visitors will meet international manufacturers, suppliers and newcomers as well as start-ups, leading tech companies, energy suppliers, providers of intermodal city logistics and universities from all over the world.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
