Commercial Vehicle Test Drive at ComAutoTrans 2026: Arrived Light — Left in a Truck

Exhibiton News
From August 18 to 21, 2026, the Crocus Expo IEC will once again host a unique platform for hands-on evaluation of commercial vehicles — the only commercial vehicle test drive at an exhibition in Russia. Following its successful premiere in 2025, the organizers Sigma Expo Group promise to maintain and further develop the dynamic format, which has proven its demand among the professional audience.

The previous test drive was a real breakthrough: over four days, 786 unique test drives were conducted on 13 models of vehicles. Leading brands participated: MAZ presented the anniversary MAZ-54402L tractor unit, Remex Truck showcased the bestseller SITRAK C7H, Modern Transport Technologies Group brought the Aurora minibus and the Valdai lineup. The Promtech plant demonstrated the Kapitan 4x4 Kub off-roader and the passenger LADA Granta, while ParadAuto-M presented Avior vans with enhanced comfort. The absolute popularity leader was the all-wheel-drive pickup Sollers ST8 — guests completed 115 test drives, evaluating the capabilities of the Russian manufacturer.

Participant feedback confirms the effectiveness of the format. Exhibition Director Ekaterina Martynova notes: "From the very first days, we received confirmations of agreements on vehicle deliveries to clients' fleets." The company Bolshegruz announced the handover of more than 10 Shacman X6000 tractor units to a customer by the end of the second day. Participants highlighted the high-quality visitor composition — 20% representatives of transport companies, 16% service specialists, 13% dealers, and 23% CEOs.

On August 18–21, 2026, the test drive will once again become a key part of the AutoCluster, bringing together the exhibitions InterAvtoMechanika, ComAutoTrans, and AutobusExpo. An expanded model range and new opportunities for the professional community are expected.

The exhibitors of the test drive and the commercial vehicle exhibition in Moscow are well-known vehicle manufacturers and leading industry companies providing a full range of products and services for the automotive industry, including components, systems, and technologies for the production and maintenance of commercial vehicles.

Over four days, our readers will be able to personally evaluate the models of interest in action, so as to make informed decisions based on personal experience rather than advertising brochures. Visitor tickets can be obtained using the promo code NEWSCATQ4 on the website comautotrans.moscow.
