Press release

From August 18 to 21, the Large-Scale Commercial Vehicle Test Drive ComAutoTrans will take place in Moscow at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center. The event serves as a key platform for interaction between fleet owners, leading manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers, freight forwarders, and IT solution integrators. This year, the event's program once again combines hands-on vehicle testing with a comprehensive business agenda dedicated to the current challenges and prospects of the transport industry.

Thanks to the high interest in dynamic vehicle testing last year, the range of participants has expanded significantly. Visitors will be able to get behind the wheel of the electric vehicles NEMO E350 and NEMO E820, the medium-duty truck JAC N120, the semi-trailers KAMAZ 54901-70011-AA, SHACMAN X6000, Foton Auman, SITRAK C7H MAX 4×2, and Foton Galaxy, the SITRAK C7H 8×4 dump truck, as well as a refrigerated van based on the FAW Trucks Tiger 6G chassis.

Each test route will take approximately five minutes and will include a slalom zone, a suspension test over speed bumps, a turn in a confined space, and a "garage" parking maneuver. On the first day, August 18, a closed press briefing and a driving skills competition featuring bloggers and representatives of leading industry media will be held.

Alongside the test drives, the Trucks & Bus Forum will take place, where experts will discuss the transformation of the commercial vehicle market, changes in tariffs and legislation, electronic document management (EDM), the workforce crisis, and the transition to intelligent supply chains. Separate sessions will be dedicated to new approaches to combating "grey" freight transportation and the development of alternative-fuel transport.

Among the speakers are PEC President Vadim Filatov, General Director of Shacman Motors LLC Vadim Zeifert, General Director of Cargonomica JSC Alexander Proskurin, Deputy Head of Rostransnadzor Alexander Prokhodtsev, and others.
