IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026

New products and highlights for the trade show

What trends are stirring the commercial vehicle industry?

The electrification of vehicles presents design engineers with new challenges: cables must be guided safely within the vehicle and on the charging infrastructure, installation space and weight have to be reduced while movement points that are subjected to high loads must function reliably over the long term. In addition, there are increasing requirements for PFAS-compliant components as well as the desire for maintenance-free solutions to avoid downtime.

Discover igus products at IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 that address exactly these challenges.
