TruckShowX back in 2026

HVIA has unveiled the first speakers, exhibitors and drive-day participants for TruckShowX 2026, set to take place on May 18 and 19 at Rydges Resort in the Hunter Valley.

The event first took place in 2024 to much success, and will return this year with a jam-packed two days of conferences, expos, drive experiences and networking events.

A spin-off from the hugely successful Brisbane Truck Show, the 2026 event will centre on the theme Driving the Future, focusing on how technology and innovation can lift productivity, efficiency and safety across the truck industry.

Leading the program are truck OEMs Daimler Truck, Hino Australia and Foton/KRW Group, which will showcase zero- and low-emissions vehicles and make them available for the event’s drive-day experience.

The speaker line-up also includes fleet electrification specialist Zenobe, which will detail its role in developing Australia’s first off-site truck charging hub in Sydney for Woolworths, alongside connected vehicle technology provider WHG, presenting early findings from real-world trials of its predictive fatigue management platform.

TruckShowX 2026 will also feature a technology and capability expo, with exhibitors including EVSE Australia, Go EV, Eaton and NTI, plus limited sponsorship opportunities across conference and social events.

HVIA says interest in the event has been strong, with expressions of interest still open for speakers, exhibitors and drive-day participants.

Early bird tickets are now on sale with further announcements on speakers, sponsors and exhibitors expected in the coming months.
