At the heart of SOLUTRANS week, one evening holds a special place: the Gala Dinner. A festive and convivial occasion, it brings together nearly 1,400 professionals from the industrial and urban vehicle sector around a shared table, in Lyon — one of Europe's great gastronomic capitals. An evening where conversations take on a different quality, away from the energy of the show floor.

The SOLUTRANS Gala Dinner: bringing the whole industry together

The SOLUTRANS Gala Dinner is the event within the event. Over successive editions, this evening has established itself as a singular occasion where industry professionals come together in a festive yet warm atmosphere, conducive to meaningful exchanges and lasting connections.

Whether you wish to strengthen ties with your peers, offer clients and colleagues an unforgettable evening, or simply extend the conversations started in the show aisles: the SOLUTRANS Gala Dinner is the ideal setting.

An exceptional evening, in Europe's gastronomic capital

Lyon is not only the host city of SOLUTRANS: it is one of Europe's great gastronomic capitals. The SOLUTRANS Gala Dinner honours this heritage fully, offering guests a carefully composed gastronomic meal, in a setting specially designed for the occasion.

Each edition of the SOLUTRANS Gala Dinner brings its own atmosphere and its own world. One thing never changes: the commitment to excellence that shapes every aspect of its organisation, and the attention to detail that makes every evening a truly memorable experience for each guest.

An evening to celebrate innovation and the people behind it

The SOLUTRANS Gala Dinner is also the moment for the industry's most prestigious recognitions. Two highlights mark the evening:

  • The International Awards Ceremony : the SOLUTRANS Gala Dinner hosts the presentation of the sector's most coveted international awards: International Truck of the Year, Van of the Year, Pick-up Award and Truck Innovation Award. A roll of honour recognising the most innovative manufacturers and suppliers of the year, before an audience of professionals from around the world.
  • The Industry Personality Award : each SOLUTRANS edition pays tribute to a personality who, through their commitment and vision, has helped shape the future of the industrial and urban vehicle sector. An award presented during the SOLUTRANS Gala Dinner, in front of their peers, to honour those who write the history of the industry.
