Three fronts of transformation in transport

The congress program focuses on three areas shaping the future of the industry. The first is automotive transformation, the second is the modernization of heavy-duty transport, and the third is the implementation of zero-emission fleets. It is in this last area that green transport ambitions with hard economics and total cost of ownership (TCO) a metric that, for many companies today, matters more than the purchase price itself.

The program also addresses topics that are gaining increasing attention across the industry: the development of electromobility processes, the role of domestic suppliers in production value chains, and the future of dual-use technologies operating across both civilian and defense sectors.

From choice to obligation

For road transport companies, key discussions will focus on digitalization, the e-TOLL system, and charging infrastructure for heavy-duty vehicles. The transition to zero-emission fleets is no longer a matter of goodwill—it is a legal requirement driven by ESG regulations, the EU Omnibus package, and upcoming Clean Corporate Vehicles legislation governing corporate fleets.

The challenge, however, is that obligation does not automatically mean profitability. That is why MOVE 2026 is designed to help participants assess realistic purchasing scenarios for electric and hydrogen vehicles based on current energy costs. This is the difference between a strategy that looks good on a slide and one that actually works within a budget.

A congress alongside trade fairs and a premiere event

MOVE 2026 does not take place in isolation. The congress runs alongside ITM Industry Europe and the inaugural Dual Use Congress, dedicated to dual-use technologies. This proximity enables knowledge transfer between the civilian and defense sectors and provides participants with access to the latest trends in vehicle manufacturing and software development.

The congress will conclude with roundtable sessions. Their goal is not another debate, but concrete outcomes specifically, the development of proposals for new funding programs supporting the industry.

MOVE 2026 will take place on May 27, 2026, at the Poznań Congress Center. Details and registration are available on the congress website.
