Simultaneously with test drives, plenary discussions, round tables and sessions of the Road Transport Forum were held, where market experts, representatives of government agencies and business owners discussed the transition to intelligent supply chains, the fight against "illegal" transportation and the development of alternative fuels.

One of the most discussed topics was tax regulation. Speaking at the ComAutoTrans site, a representative of the Federal Tax Service of Russia gave important explanations for carriers. Fyodor Novikov, Head of the Electronic Document Management Department of the Federal Tax Service, focused on the fact that from September 1, a paper waybill will not entail additional tax charges if the fact of real transportation is confirmed, and taxes on the transaction are paid. The absence of an electronic document format cannot be a reason for excluding transportation costs when calculating income tax.

“We talked about the most relevant topic – September 1, 2026 and the imperative transition to Electronic Shipping Documents. Everyone actively participated, there were important questions from the audience. We touched upon exciting issues in the transportation industry," – said Alexey Serov, Head of the project implementation group of logistics at SKB Kontur and a participant in the panel discussion.

Partners of the forum: COMVEX Review and Autopark 5 Koleso magazines, the Commission on the Development of Passenger Transportation of the Public Council under the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, AvtoGruzEx and Gruzavtotrans Associations, National Transport Association, Transport Development Institute, ANCOR, Synergy University.
