ABOUT THE FAIR
The “Utility Vehicles and Logistics” (UVL) Trade Fair is a specialized biennial event that has established itself as a central platform for innovations, products, and services in the utility vehicles and logistics sector. It is organized by Celjski sejem d.d., an experienced Slovenian trade fair organizer known for successfully hosting professional exhibitions, congresses, and events in the region for many years, and recognized for its industry expertise.
The event takes place at the spacious exhibition grounds of the Celje Fair, located in the economically significant city of Celje, in the heart of Slovenia. With its modern infrastructure and excellent transport connections, the venue offers ideal conditions for international exhibitors and trade visitors alike.
At the core of the fair are the latest developments in utility and specialty vehicles, logistics solutions, transport technologies, and digital innovations. Exhibits include buses, trailers, semi-trailers, vans, as well as specialized accessories and industry-specific custom solutions. In addition, companies showcase modern warehouse technology, material handling and transport systems, and IT-based applications for digitally connected logistics. Key topics include sustainability in transportation, automation, telematics, and supply chain optimization—all with the goal of aligning efficiency, environmental responsibility, and economic viability.
A standout feature of the event is the live demonstrations and test drives, where visitors can experience vehicles firsthand—offering a practical and immersive approach to understanding technology and functionality. The fair primarily targets professionals from the fields of transportation, logistics, construction, municipal infrastructure, and services, but also welcomes interested private visitors seeking insights into this dynamic industry. Manufacturers, service providers, suppliers, and system integrators from across Europe use UVL as a platform for exchange and innovation.
An added benefit is the concurrent Car and Maintenance exhibition, which complements the main event thematically and creates synergies in the fields of vehicle technology and maintenance. This combination enhances the event’s appeal for trade visitors and promotes interdisciplinary dialogue.
Celje, Slovenia’s third-largest city, impresses with its central location, historical charm, and excellent accessibility—both by road and rail. The modern exhibition center is easy to reach and provides the perfect setting for a professional event that effectively combines knowledge transfer, networking, and market transparency.
The Utility Vehicles and Logistics take place biennially, and therefore presumably in May 2025 in Celje.
