Get ready for the haulage sector’s must-attend summer tradeshow – because Road Transport Expo 2026 is set to raise the bar once again.
Returning to the NAEC Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, the show will run from 30 June to 2 July, marking a significant milestone as RTX celebrates five years since its launch in 2022.
RTX 2026 promises three packed days of innovation, insight and hands-on experiences for anyone working across the road transport industry.
ONE-STOP SHOP FOR INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS
Expect to find everything you need for your business, from workshop equipment, tyres, trailers and specialist bodies to tankers, technology providers and service partners – all brought together across several indoor halls and a buzzing outdoor display area.
Visitors to the show will be able to explore vehicles and technology from the major truck OEMs, with a broad mix of product launches, updates and demonstrations expected from hundreds of well-known international brands across the show.
KEEPING YOU AHEAD OF THE CURVE
RTX 2026 will once again host a packed programme of seminars tackling the most pressing issues facing operators today.
Expect expert-led sessions on decarbonisation, fleet safety, new regulations, technology adoption, and emerging industry challenges and opportunities.
The Knowledge Zone and Talking Point stages will welcome a diverse roster of speakers – from leading fleet operators to enforcement bodies and forward-thinking technology specialists – offering practical guidance you can take straight back to your business.
TRY IT OUT
Back by popular demand will be the Ride & Drive area, giving attendees the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the latest diesel, electric and alternatively fuelled trucks to experience them live and see how they handle.
If you’re keen to drive one of the test models at the show, make sure you bring your HGV driving licence details with you and our friendly team will help book you into a slot on the day.

LOOKING AHEAD
“We’re incredibly proud of how Road Transport Expo has grown since its launch in 2022,” says Vic Bunby, RTX show director.
“The show continues to evolve to meet industry needs, balancing a highly professional exhibition environment with the informal, friendly atmosphere visitors really value. As we celebrate five years of RTX, what I’m most looking forward to is welcoming visitors back to what has become a real industry community event.
“RTX brings people together – operators, manufacturers, innovators and newcomers alike – and there’s a fantastic buzz the moment the gates open. I can’t wait for everyone to experience that atmosphere again this summer.”

DECARBONISATION IN ACTION AT RTX
Explore: RTX spans several indoor exhibition halls and a vast outdoor exhibition space. Walking around the site you will find decarbonisation is a core focus for many show exhibitors and you’ll be able to explore the very latest ultra-low-carbon and zero-emission vehicle technology, from fully-electric battery trucks and solar-powered refrigeration, through to biogas and HVO suppliers.
Insight: A comprehensive three-day conference programme is a popular feature of RTX, which will cover the key topics that matter to you – including several sessions focusing on the challenges, opportunities and success stories of fleet decarbonisation. Sessions are free to drop into and you can pick and choose those most relevant to your business. Speakers will be joining us from government departments, major OEMs, well-known fleet operators and industry technology experts.
Experience: RTX gives visitors the opportunity to take a spin in the latest HGV models through its Ride & Drive feature. If you hold the appropriate licence, you’ll be able to take a test drive of your chosen models or simply experience the technology as a passenger if you prefer. Trucks will include a range of fuelling options, including diesel, biogas and electric.
