The IAA Commercial Vehicles Trade Fair in Hanover<br />

“Commercial Vehicles are the backbone of modern industrial societies. In Europe commercial<br />

vehicles account <strong>for</strong> about three-quarters of total freight traffic <strong>and</strong> all other modes of transport<br />

including inl<strong>and</strong> water vessels, aircraft <strong>and</strong> the railways are dependent on HGVs. Modern commercial<br />

vehicles make sure supermarket shelves are filled <strong>and</strong> ensure the delivery of goods ordered<br />

by internet to the consumer. The commercial vehicle remains irreplaceable,” stresses Matthias<br />

Wissmann, President of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), which organises<br />

the IAA Commercial Vehicles trade fair every two years in Hanover.
