IBE Intermobility and Bus Expo 2024
IBE - Intermobility and Bus Expo is the event dedicated to the present and future of intermobility, the place where long-distance travel comes together with local public transport. A special meeting place for supply- and demand-side operators in collective and shared mobility, institutions and international stakeholders, IBE covers not only the industrial vehicle sector, but also the new players needed to design a system that meets the energy transition objectives set out by Next Generation EU.
IBE’s mission, identified by the name: inter-mobility – integrated and interconnected mobility – is to become the place in which innovative transport systems talk to each other to simplify travel and customers’ lives, to be the catalyst for change in the new mobility market and the point of contact between the leisure tourism sector and local public transport, in line with the objectives of the National Resilience and Recovery Plan (NRRP) for the energy transition.
In a constantly changing and evolving society, IBE focuses on integrated, innovative and sustainable collective mobility: from urban mobility to long-distance travel; from small tourist collective transport and local public transport; from renting vehicles with drivers to bus sharing and light rail transit.
The days of the show will be an opportunity to tackle and assess highly topical issues and scenarios, including European, national and regional regulatory frameworks, technological trends in vehicle power supply and related services, the design and implementation of effective MaaS systems, the evolution of road tourism transport, driver training, sharing mobility services and the evaluation of possible development scenarios in light of the funds allocated by the NRRP.
The largest exhibition of buses and coaches in Southern Europe.
- Three days of business
- Conferences on Innovation & Vision and the future of Mobility
- Technological demonstrations and vehicle test drives
- Professional refresher courses and opportunities to “put yourself to the test”
IBE is the leading bus industry show in the Mediterranean and Southern Europe region. It represents the whole value chain of the sector, and is an unforgettable experience.
The area traditionally dedicated to tourist coaches brings together the leading manufacturers of coaches, long-established European body shops, luxury fitters of grand tour minibuses and the major producers of electronic and mechanical components, powertrains, fleet and rail management software.
Ample space will be given to all the services necessary to bus operators: fuel cards, driver uniforms, vehicle cleaning, financial consultancy and training bodies.
IBE is the business meeting that brings together, in a single experience, all the tools and technologies supporting and developing those who “live” the road every day, driving people and helping them discover the world and its beauty.

The local public transport sector represents the cornerstone of urban mobility, which is undergoing significant transformation at global level, and impacting the development and competitiveness of the whole national economy.
The distribution of supply chiefly remains concentrated on the road transport network. Rail transport infrastructure is still not sufficient, despite the fact that the bulk of the new Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans contain projects and policy recommendations supporting the development of new mobility infrastructure.
The local public transport sector is the right evolutionary path for IBE: from a bus marketplace to an event dedicated to intermodal passenger transport.

Futuristic and Functional
Aesthetic appeal, business and comfort have always been at the heart of the offering from Rimini’s Exhibition Centre, a top location for the tourism, environment, wellness and food & beverage sectors. The centre has a “green” calling, which it pursues through care for the ecosystem, respect for the environment and its eco-friendly philosophy. Functionality and efficiency, combined with Renaissance-inspired aesthetics, are also strengths and draws for buyers and exhibitors from all over the world.
Designed by the GMP Practice in Hamburg, it occupies a total area of 460 thousand square metres: 169,000 square metres of usable space, 109,000 of gross exhibition space, 16 single-level halls, air-conditioned with blackout capability, reception, technical and service areas, modular conference rooms for up to 730 seats, a functional and technical operations centre, a press room with national radio and television transmission centre, restaurants, self-service, snack bars, 11,000 car parking service and a helipad with bookable heli-taxi service.
The Centre is laid out on a single level and is fully cabled. There are three different entrances interconnected by shuttle bus so that visitors can visit more than one exhibition at a time.
Low Environmental Impact
Rimini Fiera has UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 certification: the exhibition centre (recipient of the prestigious international ELCA ‘Building with Green’ award in Nuremberg) operates completely according to the principle of low environmental impact, with internal and external green areas, extending over 160,000 m², more than 1500 plants and 30,000 m² of lawn.
Photovoltaic systems throughout the centre, in all the halls, over a total surface of no fewer than 115,000 m². To air condition the centre, a system that generates cold at night-time and provides cooling during the day (a kind of “ice bank”) and for heating there’s a system with condensing boilers.
The wood that dominates the centre’s architecture comes from responsibly managed Scandinavian forests.
Lighting is predominantly natural; areas with constant artificial lighting use LED technology for the most part. The fountains all recirculate water, with the periodically changed water from the centre’s fountains and ponds being treated and reused to irrigate the green areas. The toilets in the centre features controlled-pressure jets of water.
There are many reuse and recycling centres throughout the centre for differentiating waste produced by visitors.
The main-line railway station at the entrance to the centre alleviates the impact of traffic on the environment.
