Building on the success of SOLUTRANS, the global hub for heavy and light commercial vehicles, the French Bodywork Federation (FFC) has since 2018 organised the Industry Meetings (Rencontres de la Filière) in alternate years to the tradeshow. This day of exchanges between industry professionals dives deep into the major subjects that guide our professions. It is an opportunity to prolong the SOLUTRANS experience and together shape the future of goods transportation. We look forward to seeing you on 10 October 2024 at Matmut Stadium in Lyon !

Les Rencontres de la Filière by SOLUTRANS 

With the 2023 edition of SOLUTRANS setting new attendance records in terms of both visitors and exhibitors, the FFC is capitalising upon these results and inviting the players in the goods transport sector to a new edition of the Industry Meetings.

This will take place on 10 October 2024 at the Lyon Matmut Stadium. It offers the industry’s firms a chance to meet up and take stock of the major challenges afoot in their professions, in particular in response to environmental, economic and social issues.
