The 24th edition of Brazilian transportation fair, FENATRAN, has made history.
It again proved itself the largest fair for road freight transport and logistics in Latin America, by attracting 74,000 attendees.
That was not the only record smashed. The event also achieved nearly $AUD4 billion in commercial transactions.
According to a survey carried out by RX do Brasil, the event’s organisers, the result well exceeded the $2.5 billion in revenues recorded in 2022.
More than 2,000 people from 53 countries passed through the pavilions of Sao Paulo Expo, most of them from Mercosur, such as Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Peru.
For Thiago Braga Ferreira, executive manager of FENATRAN, both the number of participants and the volume of negotiations exceeded the expectation of the organisation.
“The results achieved this year bring us a great challenge: in 2026, we want to be even better.
“We will dare, innovate and seek the best to attract exhibitors and visitors. And we have already started working on this.”
The next edition is confirmed and scheduled for the period of 09 to 13 November, 2026.
Truckmakers and other OEMs took advantage of the event to present new technologies aimed at reducing emissions and supporting industry decarbonisation, in addition to their latest launches in terms of services, leasing, among others.
Volvo, to name one OEM, achieved over $794 million in business generated by early afternoon on Friday, 8 November.
The amount includes the sale of trucks, service plans, insurance, consortium, in addition to the rental of vehicles.
Scania later announced the sale of 2,000 vehicles at FENATRAN.
