Scotland’s transport policymakers and industry experts will come together at RTX Scotland to discuss the issues, technologies and opportunities shaping the sector.
Anyone wanting to understand what’s next for Scotland’s road transport sector should make a beeline for the Knowledge Zone at RTX Scotland 2026.
Running alongside the exhibition at Glasgow’s SEC on 18-19 November, the free-to-attend conference programme will bring together policymakers and industry leaders to explore the trends, technologies and opportunities shaping the future of commercial vehicle operations in Scotland.
A major attraction will be a keynote address from Scotland’s Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Tourism and Transport, Stephen Flynn MSP, giving visitors the opportunity to hear directly from government about its priorities for transport, infrastructure and economic growth.
The programme will also feature representatives from Transport Scotland, providing updates on key transport strategies and initiatives designed to support businesses across the haulage and logistics sector.
With technology continuing to reshape commercial vehicle operations, innovation will be a recurring theme throughout the two-day programme, with sessions exploring advances in vehicle design, digitalisation and fleet management.
One of the headline sessions will be the RTX Scotland Big Debate, where industry experts will tackle a crucial question: which technology will have the biggest impact on the road transport sector over the next decade? Expect lively discussion, contrasting opinions and audience participation as panellists consider the innovations most likely to transform fleet operations in the years ahead.
Adding to the activity, HGV1 Radio will broadcast *The Transport News Hour* live from the exhibition floor, bringing interviews and industry reaction directly from the heart of the show.
The Knowledge Zone forms part of a wider event featuring more than 70 exhibitors showcasing the latest trucks, trailers, workshop equipment, technology and business services. Combined with extensive networking opportunities, it reinforces RTX Scotland’s position as a must-attend gathering for Scotland’s road transport community.
For operators, suppliers and industry stakeholders alike, RTX Scotland offers an opportunity to hear from decisionmakers, discover the latest developments and gain practical insight into the issues and innovations shaping the future of road transport in Scotland.
