RTX Scotland will return to Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus (SEC) on 18-19 November 2026, with organisers promising a significantly expanded exhibition, longer opening hours and enhanced networking facilities following the success of the inaugural event.
Organised by Road Transport Media, RTX Scotland was launched as the Scottish sister event to the UK’s Road Transport Expo (RTX), providing hauliers, fleet operators, logistics professionals and industry suppliers with a dedicated road transport exhibition closer to home.
Strong support from operators, manufacturers and suppliers at the debut event has prompted organisers to expand the 2026 show, with a larger exhibition hall, extended opening hours and additional facilities designed to encourage networking and business development.
The exhibition will run from 9am to 5pm on both days, while increased catering and networking areas will provide more opportunities for visitors and exhibitors to hold meetings, exchange ideas and develop new commercial relationships.
Vic Bunby, RTX Scotland Show Director, said: “The response to our launch event exceeded our expectations, with strong visitor attendance and overwhelmingly positive feedback from exhibitors and attendees alike.”
“We’ve listened carefully to what the industry told us and have acted on that feedback. For 2026, we’re expanding the exhibition space, extending opening hours and creating more opportunities for networking and business conversations throughout the venue.”
“Our aim is to provide Scotland’s haulage and logistics community with the most valuable industry event in the country, giving operators direct access to leading suppliers, manufacturers and industry expertise under one roof.”
Trucks, technology and transport solutions
RTX Scotland brings together hauliers, fleet operators, logistics businesses, vehicle manufacturers and service providers from across the road transport industry.
Visitors will be able to explore the latest trucks and trailers alongside workshop equipment, fleet management technology, compliance services and other transport solutions. The exhibition also provides operators with an opportunity to meet suppliers directly and assess technologies and services that could improve fleet efficiency and business performance.
The event is expected to provide a particularly valuable forum as Scottish transport businesses continue to navigate rising operating costs, changing vehicle technology and the transition towards lower-emission fleets.
RTX Scotland Knowledge Zone
The Knowledge Zone will once again be a central feature of RTX Scotland, providing a free programme of seminars, panel discussions and expert presentations addressing the issues currently shaping the Scottish haulage and logistics sector.

The programme will cover subjects including fleet decarbonisation, vehicle compliance and road safety, alongside other operational challenges facing transport businesses.
Visitors will be able to hear from industry specialists and fellow operators, participate in discussions and gain practical insights that can be applied to their own businesses.
Hayley Tayler, RTX Head of Content, said: “We’re shaping the seminar programme around what matters most to the industry. The Knowledge Zone is designed to provide practical insights and real-world experiences that visitors can take back to their businesses.”
“We’re still developing the programme, so if there are topics you’d like to see covered or speakers you’d like to hear from, we’d love to hear your suggestions.”
With transport operators facing ongoing challenges around operational efficiency, vehicle investment, decarbonisation and workforce development, RTX Scotland provides an opportunity to compare products and services while discussing the wider issues affecting the sector.
The expansion of RTX Scotland for 2026 reflects the organisers’ confidence in the event and the demand for a dedicated road transport exhibition serving Scotland’s haulage and logistics community.
