June 10 & 11, 2026
Hall 1, Köln Messe, Germany
The Off-Highway Evolution Conference, formerly the iVT Conference, is a two-day conference showcasing cutting-edge advancements and emerging trends in the industry. Explore the technologies that are shaping the next generation of off-highway vehicles.
Over 50 influential speakers from global OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, cutting-edge R&D centers, and dynamic startups will share their insights, cutting-edge strategies, and best practices in off-highway technology and solutions.
From prototype to portfolio. OEM strategies are converging on a mix of battery-electric where it works, and alternate fuels where uptime, energy density, and site realities demand different answers. Hydrogen is moving quickly from “promising” to “approved and piloted” in Europe.
Covers: batteries, charging, energy management, hydrogen combustion, fuel cells, and pragmatic decarbonisation pathways.
Practical autonomy is scaling in defined environments. The sector is moving from isolated demos to measurable operational milestones and productivity outcomes, with digitisation as the backbone for orchestration, safety, and continuous improvement.
Covers: autonomy stacks, sensing, safety case, remote ops, connected worksites, data platforms, cybersecurity.
The cab is becoming a productivity cockpit. UX is now central to machine performance, operator retention, training time, and safe human-supervised autonomy. Expect a strong focus on intuitive displays and workflow design, not “more screens.
Covers: human factors, integrated HMI, alert strategy, display tech, cab ergonomics, operator assist UX, and UX for autonomy handover.
Speaking at the conference is a unique opportunity to present your insights and expertise on the cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of industrial vehicle technology to a global audience of OEMs, engineers, suppliers, and thought leaders.
iVT Expo is where the next generation of off-highway vehicle technologies takes centre stage and industry experts discuss the latest innovations, with a strong focus on industries such as agriculture, mining, material handling, forestry, and defense.
