In light of recent news from Infrastructure Australia urging that more must be done to maintain and enhance Australia’s quality of life and economic efficiency, now is an opportune time for the National Roads & Traffic Expo to take place.
With $600 billion of spending needed over the next 15 years to support Australia’s population and construction boom and to also assist with congestion busting, the National Roads & Traffic Expo presents one of the biggest opportunities in the country.
The FREE trade show and seminar sessions unites road agencies, operators, industry leaders and innovators, providing these key organisations a platform to meet, network and engage.
Market leaders and experts from across the country will attend to do business and get up-to-speed with the latest developments in infrastructure, traffic management, smart mobility, parking, safety and active transport.
The show’s main mission is to future-proof infrastructure, link rural and urban areas, ease traffic congestion and improve road safety and efficiency. In turn, this will facilitate business opportunities, create jobs, and enable connected and autonomous vehicles.
Expo highlights
With more than 200 exhibitors lined up, the event features 12,000 square metres of exhibition space for new product launches and live demonstrations. Attendees can walk the Expo floor and explore the latest products, services and technologies from market leaders such as Fulton Hogan, Komatsu, Boral, Nearmap, Fleetcare, Global Road Maintenance Systems, Mitsubishi Motors, Delta, Here, Intelematics, SSAB and Innov8 Equipment, just to name a few.
