Elmia Lastbil in the rear-view mirror

The first commercial vehicle fair at Elmia in Jönköping was held in 1983, and since then it has continued to roll both with us and on the roads.

Then, as now, it was a collaboration between trade publications Svensk Åkeritidning and Trailer Magazine, the Swedish Association for Road Transport Companies and Elmia. The basic concept of the fair is unchanged: to gather everything involving commercial vehicles and the haulage and transport industry in one place. At the same time, new features have been added over time, such as the competition for young people, Sweden’s Best School, and high-technology IT systems.
