Munich’s transport logistic exhibition will occupy more space in 2027 as registrations run ahead of expectations. The event, scheduled for 26–29 April, will expand from 12 to 14 halls and also use parts of the outdoor site, including the rail track areas.
The larger footprint reflects the breadth of technologies now shaping industrial logistics. The exhibition will cover road, rail, maritime and air transport, alongside freight equipment, intralogistics, warehouse management, IT, telematics and e-business. For manufacturers and logistics operators, that combination offers a single venue for comparing transport networks with the digital systems used to control them.
A new location for logistics software
Demand has led organisers to revise the hall plan. IT, telematics, e-business and telecommunications exhibitors will move to Halls C3 and C4. The North entrance will open for access to these halls, joining the existing West and East entrances and creating three visitor access points.
The change is more than a navigational detail. By bringing technology suppliers together in a dedicated area, the event will make it easier for industrial companies to examine automation, connectivity and data-driven logistics in relation to operational needs such as warehouse control, shipment visibility and network coordination.
Space in the B Halls is also being adjusted to accommodate additional exhibitors in road transport and maritime logistics. DB Cargo and VTG have confirmed their return in rail freight, while new international participants are joining the road and maritime sectors.
Air cargo and practical implementation
Air cargo Europe, held in Halls A1 and A2, has secured more than 240 participating companies. The list includes Qatar Airways Cargo, Emirates SkyCargo, Lufthansa Cargo, Etihad Cargo, Saudia Cargo, Delta Cargo and Cathay Cargo. Moving both conference forums to neighbouring halls will increase exhibition capacity by just over seven percent; the air cargo Europe conference will relocate to the first-floor conference area in Hall A1.
The wider conference programme is expected online from the beginning of 2027. Planned themes include artificial intelligence, automation, climate protection and resilient supply chains, with attention on turning new technologies into commercially workable solutions for day-to-day logistics. Details are available through the transport logistic event site.
