BREAKING: The belated 2022 Australasia Bus and Coach Expo will be held Wednesday 5th to Thursday 6th October in The Dome and Halls at Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, organisers have announced.
BusNSW executive director Matt Threlkeld says the association was excited to announce the new dates for 2022 after postponing the 2021 Expo due to Covid and the lockdown in Sydney.
“The dates have been chosen following the consideration of school holidays, venue availability and the industry events in 2022,” Threlkeld said.
“We believe the 12-month delay gives us the best opportunity to host a world-class exhibition and optimise attendance,” Threlkeld explained.
The Covid-safe event will involve displays covering more than 13,000 square metres, all under the one roof, BusNSW confirms.
“We will soon commence discussions with industry suppliers regarding bookings for booths and display areas,” Threlkeld said.
“Transport for NSW is leading the way on the transition to zero-emission buses and will be proudly supporting the Expo,” he added.
“We anticipate that there will be a strong focus on battery electric and hydrogen fuel-cell buses, so the event will provide a great opportunity to showcase this technology.
“We have an opportunity to build on the new Australasia Bus and Coach Expo brand as we promote the event over the next 12 months.” Threlkeld commented.
