Electric and hydrogen-powered buses, SiC technology, depot management systems, biometrics and new ways to pay for journeys. TRANSEXPO 2026 shows that the revolution in public transport is no longer just about what powers a bus. Almost everything is changing – from the vehicle itself and its technical infrastructure to the way passengers buy their tickets.

Modern electric and hydrogen-powered buses, innovative drive systems, ticketing technologies and the people who have shaped Poland’s public transport sector for years – the prestigious TRANSEXPO 2026 gala at Expo Kielce brought together the winners of the trade show’s medals and distinctions, the Polish Bus of the Year awards and Bus Guru 2026. Exhibitors were also recognised for outstanding stand designs, while companies celebrating significant anniversaries received special honours.

The latest buses, innovations transforming the public transport experience, industry meetings, premieres and vehicles from a very different era of transport. The first day of TRANSEXPO 2026 at EXPO KIELCE offered a wide-ranging look at the industry, from its history to the technologies already shaping its future.

A pre-war Chevrolet, the iconic “cucumber” bus, Jelcz models familiar from Polish streets and a SAN that spent years serving not as a passenger bus, but as… a garden summerhouse. The 6th Exhibition of Historic Buses at TRANSEXPO 2026 is a fascinating journey through the history of urban public transport.

770 hp, six winches, an 18-tonne-capacity recovery boom, massive recovery trucks and long vehicle transporter combinations. The fifth edition of the HOL-EXPO International Roadside Assistance Trade Show is underway at Expo Kielce, and the halls have been buzzing with industry conversations since the very first hours.

Fifteen bus brands, 75 vehicle models and nearly 130 exhibitors – the International Public Transport Trade Show TRANSEXPO 2026 has opened at Expo Kielce. The Polish premiere of the Solaris Urbino 10.5 electric, historic buses and technologies for transport operators are drawing the first visitors. The trade show runs until 16 October.

How have electric buses performed in Polish cities over the past decade? Do modern driver assistance systems genuinely make drivers’ jobs easier? What are passengers looking for in a bus? These are the key questions being explored at the Technical Conference of the Polish Chamber of Urban Transport (IGKM), taking place in Kielce on 13 October.

This year’s International Dog Show at EXPO KIELCE will feature an exciting new addition to the programme. For the first time, the event will include a dedicated stage hosting experts who work professionally with dogs. Guests will include a groomer and a canine behaviourist, with more specialists being added to the line-up.
