IAA 2010 - Commercial Vehicle Show

The biennial IAA - the World's biggest commercial vehicle show - took place again from 23 to 30 September. I was already there two days before the opening for the press days and could make some good pictures of the buses and trucks.

First of all, the stand of MAN with the slogan "Consistently efficient". We had a lot of vehicles on display and the stand was always bursting with people.

There were also to future truck concepts presented by IVECO and MAN. While IVECO unveiled a truck with optimized interior and exterior, MAN proposed a total different shape and trailer.

MAN Concept S

Another hot topic were Hybrids - nearly all big manufacturers had hybrid buses and trucks on display that can save up to 35% of Diesel consumption by storing braking energy.

Besides Hybrids and energy efficiency, the manufacturers worked on some interior details: lighting, seating and others.

Of course, there were also some exotic vehicles and some manufacturers that bet on "Sex sells".
