By Padraic Deane On October 20, 2026

It is a wrap for the very successful 2026 Auto Trade EXPO and CV Workshop EXPO at the RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin.

A big thank you to everyone on the record 262 exhibitor stands and the thousands of professional auto and transport trade visitors that attended, as well as everyone in our teams that brought this international standard EXPO together, especially everyone in our Automotive Publications team.

You should all be very proud of a great achievement – providing Ireland’s auto and transport industries with an even bigger and greater two-day aftermarket exhibition.

This year we introduced the 271 Vans For Business EXPO, with 15 brands exhibiting a large range of vans, LCVs and commercial SUV models.

We also had a Truck & Trailer EXPO with strong representation from the big brands – DAF, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz, and Scania.

In addition, there were impressive trailers from Dennisons Trailers (a new road-train), SDC Trailers, Horizon Trailers (Kögel) and TC Trailers (STAS and Kässbohrer).

The dates for the 2028 Auto Trade EXPO are 14th-15th October.
