On 8 May at 10.15 a.m. in the Green Hall of pavilion 10 at Fiera Milano, a joint meeting with NME-Next Mobility Exhibition, the event dedicated to the vehicles, solutions, policies and technologies for a sustainable collective mobility system, will officially open. Representatives of the main industry associations of the two sectors and institutions will take part in a discussion to focus on common issues and challenges and to propose a reflection on the state of the art and the evolution of transport, taking stock of both the freight and passenger mobility sectors.

Two dedicated round tables will discuss in depth the specific topics of each of the two industries. The first part, Public transport: a driver and a challenge for growth, thanks to the participation of the three main Italian public transport associations – Agens, Anav and Asstra – will discuss the prospects of a sector that transports 5.5 billion passengers every year and generates more than 12 billion euro. A sector which is being called upon to change today, to come to terms with the challenging targets imposed by the European regulations and the NRRP, and the concrete difficulties linked to rising costs and a shortage of drivers.

The second round table, Road haulage from past to future, thanks to the intervention of the Central Committee of the National Register of Road Hauliers, Unatras and Anita, will instead analyse the latest road haulage figures and the main critical issues that companies are facing and must overcome in order to grow the sector in Italy. But it will also be an opportunity to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the National Register of Road Hauliers, a body based within the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, and to remember the role this structure has played in the growth of the sector. Finally, at the end of the event, for the closing remarks it will be over to the institutions, whose support is strategic for the growth of the two sectors.

The Inaugural Conference of Transpotec Logitec 2024 will be held on 8 May at 10.15 a.m. in the Green Hall, pavilion 10. The full conference programme is available here
