InnoTrans 2024: 125 years HANNING & KAHL – Innovation, Future Mobility and Networking
We look back with great satisfaction at the largest and most international InnoTrans since its foundation in 1996. The fair was a great success thanks to your participation: 2,940 exhibitors from 59 countries presented their innovations to around 170,000 visitors from 133 countries. In 42 halls and on outdoor and track areas visitors were given exciting insights into the future of transportation technology – including 226 world firsts as well as the successful premieres of the AI Mobility lab and the Railway Influencer Festival.

InnoTrans 2024 was an all-round success and once again demonstrated the fair’s importance as the world’s leading trade show for transportation technology. Under this year’s corporate motto “Future Mobility – 125 Years HANNING & KAHL”, we showcased innovative products and solutions while also celebrating our corporate jubilee. One highlight was the lively party at our stand to mark our 125th anniversary on 24 September.
The fair impressed with outstanding figures: 2,940 exhibitors from 59 countries presented their innovations to a record number of around 170,000 visitors from 133 countries. With 42 halls, 133 vehicles and exhibits on the outdoor and track area as well as presenting 226 world firsts, the InnoTrans set new benchmarks. The successful premieres of the AI Mobility lab and of the Railway Influencer Festival underscore the innovative strength of the industry.
This year we also laid great store by communication and networking. Our guests had a spacious, cosy area for intensive talks.
We also set special milestones with two new partnerships:
- Expansion in Great Britain and Ireland: We signed an important agency agreement with Fenix Rail Systems Ltd (England). This partnership will envisage Fenix, as system integrator, implementing HANNING & KAHL technology in mainline depots and heavy-rail and intermodal facilities in Great Britain and Ireland in the future – a significant step in our international expansion.
- Strengthening our presence in Israel: Together with our new service partner DIUK we have secured a strong presence for HANNING & KAHL in Israel. This partnership enables us to offer our customers first-class, on-the-spot service while expanding our market position.
A big thank-you and a look ahead
We would like to thank all visitors, partners and customers who came to our stand and made our fair participation unforgettable. For us, InnoTrans 2024 was not just a trade fair but also a platform to share our vision of future mobility and to showcase our innovative technology.
We are excited about the forthcoming projects which will follow from the positive conversations and partnerships and look forward to the next InnoTrans in 2026.
