Transports Publics 2012

The major European professional exhibition for all key players in public transport and sustainable transport solutions

Transports Publics 2012 will be bringing together urban, interurban and regional transport professionals from across France and Europe: organising authorities, operators, industries, manufacturers, sub-contractors and others.
This not-to-be-missed biennial exhibition gathers key players from rail, bus, coach and alternative transport, as well as from related industries: public works, infrastructure, civil engineering companies, manufacturers of street furniture, parking, payment and ticketing systems, consultants, designers, banking, insurance and energy services, along with other actors including institutions.

The European multimodal exhibition

With sustainable mobility, increasing internationalisation and deregulation of transport markets the order of the day, network development and procurement by local authorities and operators represent major investments.  Transports Publics 2012 takes up the resulting challenge:

• Exhibitors and visitors from some fifty countries.
• Guests of honour: European networks and cities.
• International delegations of company heads, politicians and elected officials with procurement responsibilities.

The meeting-place for sustainable mobility in Europe

Amid environmental impacts, energy costs, dwindling fossil fuels, urban gridlock and other concerns, public transport makes the best sense economically and ecologically – and will continue to enjoy considerable growth in the near future.
Transports Publics 2012 is pursuing the aim of promoting public transport and sustainable travel methods by encouraging delegates to share their experiences and best practices throughout Europe. During the three-day event, experts from across the continent will be sharing their strategic and political outlook on the mobility of the future, with a programme focusing on current issues.

Users’ expectations of public transport are increasingly stringent – and diverse. Consequently, the challenge is to respond to demand in a variety of ways: innovating in terms of multimodal solutions and promoting complementary offerings, geared to current lifestyles and the requirements of sustainable development.

The exhibition brings together the latest innovations in equipment, techniques and management, as implemented throughout Europe.

Featured innovations include:

• ‘Clean’ technologies, with means of transport which are increasingly environmentally-friendly, quieter and less polluting: hybrid systems, electric motors, energy recovery and storage devices, renewable energies, ‘green driving’ trainings and more;
• Solutions for developing intermodality: mobility centres, real-time passenger information, all-mode travel cards, ticketing over the internet or by mobile phone, optimising changes during journeys, etc. 
• Complementary transport solutions: car-sharing, car-pooling, self-service bikes, boat-buses, and so on.

Featuring the Public Transport Innovation Awards and the Innovation Track, the Exhibition promotes the most promising developments in the industry.
