BusNSW has officially announced it will be hosting the 2026 Australasian Bus and Coach Expo in Sydney.
The state association says the event will be held on Wednesday July 15 and Thursday July 16 next year at The Dome and Halls at Sydney Showgrounds.
BusNSW executive director Matt Threlkeld has confirmed it’ll once again host the premier industry event which forms part of a four-year cycle and follows the successful 2022 expo held in Sydney.
“The dates have been carefully selected after considering NSW school holidays, venue availability and other key industry events,” he says.
“Our goal is to maximise attendance by operators and provide attendees with the opportunity to experience the latest advancements in bus and coach technology, including zero-emission transport solutions.”

The Expo will feature over 13,000 square metres of displays, showcasing the latest vehicles, technology and innovations across the passenger transport sector. Leading manufacturers and suppliers will demonstrate the latest products and services, with a strong focus on enhancing safety for drivers, passengers and the community.
“The timing of the Expo aligns with the fleet procurement pipeline associated with the Greater Sydney Stage 1 Zero Emissions Bus Program, as well as continued fleet replacement orders for outer metropolitan, and rural and regional bus services in NSW,” Threlkeld says.
“Additionally, strong growth in the tourism and charter markets is driving increased demand for new buses and coaches, making July 2026 an ideal time to display vehicles.”
BusNSW anticipates strong engagement from operators, suppliers and government agencies, positioning the Expo as a must-attend event for domestic and international industry stakeholders.
“We will soon commence discussions with our partners, associate members, and industry suppliers regarding bookings for booths and vehicle display areas,” Threlkeld says.
The Expo will also feature two networking events, including a welcome function in Tuesday July 14 and an industry dinner on the night of July 15.
“If buses or coaches are your business, mark Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 July 2026 in your calendar and start planning your visit to Sydney for the Expo,” Threlkeld says.
