SOLUTRANS: A Show Built by the Industry, for the Industry
Every professional in the commercial vehicle sector knows that this industry doesn’t stand still. Technology evolves, regulations change, and operations become more complex. In the midst of this ongoing transformation, SOLUTRANS has been a steadfast companion, adapting to the industry's ever-changing needs.
Founded in 1988 by the Fédération Française de Carrosserie (FFC), SOLUTRANS was created to offer the industry a space for collaboration, where bodybuilders, equipment suppliers, manufacturers, and mobility players could jointly tackle sector challenges and share solutions. From the beginning, the show has been led by professionals, for professionals, and that philosophy remains unchanged.
Over time, SOLUTRANS has evolved from a national bodywork-focused event into an international platform covering heavy and light commercial vehicles, powertrain innovation, fleet technology, and urban mobility solutions. What sets SOLUTRANS apart is not just the numbers, but the crucial role it plays in the industry.
As the sector undergoes major transitions toward low-carbon energy, digitalization, autonomous systems, and stricter regulations, SOLUTRANS has become the central meeting point. It’s a place where the latest innovations are showcased, but also where key discussions happen on what is feasible, scalable, and what’s coming next.
Behind it all, the FFC continues to lead with a clear focus: ensuring the event delivers tangible value to all players in the value chain. Not just visibility, but insight, alignment, and business opportunities. For those who build, operate, and shape the future of commercial transport, SOLUTRANS is much more than a trade show. It’s where the industry comes together to think strategically, act collectively, and move forward.
Vision:
SOLUTRANS is “the global hub for heavy & light commercial vehicles”. The 2025 edition emphasises three core pillars:
- Evolution of energy mixes (towards decarbonised mobility, hydrogen, new infrastructure)
- Data & AI (leveraging data, connectivity, autonomous driving, predictive maintenance)
- New regulations (responding to changing rules on dimensions, safety, powertrains and sustainability)
Values:
SOLUTRANS brings together all stakeholders in the commercial vehicle sector—manufacturers, fleet operators, suppliers, startups, and policymakers—to foster collaboration, innovation, and business growth. The event embodies the industry’s commitment to sustainable, strategic, and forward-looking development.
