Transport logistic 2027 will create a larger meeting point for companies working on the next generation of industrial supply chains. The Munich event, taking place from 26 to 29 April, will expand from 12 to 14 halls and use additional outdoor areas, including the track sections.
The growth comes as registrations remain exceptionally strong around six months before the exhibition. It also reflects a logistics market in which transport capacity, software, automation and sustainability can no longer be considered in isolation. The exhibition will bring together road, rail, water and air transport providers with freight equipment manufacturers, intralogistics specialists, warehouse technology companies and suppliers of IT, telematics and e-business systems.
A clearer route to digital operations
One of the most significant changes is the relocation of IT, telematics, e-business and telecommunications exhibitors to Halls C3 and C4. The North entrance will open for this area, joining the East and West entrances.
For industrial visitors, the arrangement should make it easier to assess how digital tools support real operations. Technologies presented across the event can be considered in relation to warehouse management, shipment visibility, network coordination and automated material flows. The value is not simply access to new systems, but the ability to compare their operational fit with transport and logistics services.
The B Halls will also be rearranged to accommodate new international exhibitors in road transport and maritime logistics. DB Cargo AG and VTG GmbH have confirmed their return to the rail freight segment, adding established participants to the event’s multimodal perspective.
Air cargo capacity and implementation questions
Air cargo Europe, integrated into the exhibition in Halls A1 and A2, has already attracted more than 240 confirmed companies. Participants include Qatar Airways Cargo, Emirates SkyCargo, Lufthansa Cargo, Etihad Cargo, Saudia Cargo, Delta Cargo and Cathay Cargo. Relocating both conference forums to neighbouring halls will increase exhibitor space by just over 7%. The air cargo Europe conference will move to the first-floor conference area of Hall A1.
The conference programme, due online from the beginning of 2027, will address AI and automation as well as climate protection and resilient supply chains. Its practical question is central to Industry 5.0 discussions: how can advanced technology improve resilience and sustainability while remaining economically viable for everyday operations? Updates are available via transport logistic.
