2025 BRISBANE TRUCK SHOW SMASHES ATTENDANCE RECORD

The Brisbane Truck Show cemented its status as Australia’s largest industry exhibition and the biggest truck show in the Southern Hemisphere, with the 2025 show attracting a record-breaking 54,790 attendees, smashing the previous high of 42,855 in 2023.

Notably, the all-time-high attendance was underpinned by record numbers of industry decision makers on Thursday (13,865) and Friday (15,551). Saturday recorded the biggest single day in the show’s 58-year history with an incredible 17,404 attendees through the doors.

Todd Hacking, CEO of show organiser HVIA, said the amazing result confirms the show’s standing as a truly world-class event.

The 2025 Brisbane Truck Show featured more than 35,000 square metres of exhibitions of the latest trucks, trailers, parts and accessories and related technologies across all three levels of the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC) – the only event to fill out the entire centre.

Beyond the BCEC, Truck Week 25 extended the show into a hugely successful week-long festival of all things trucking including the Silverback National Show ‘N’ Shine at Little Stanley Street, the Premier Boxing Series at South Bank Piazza, The Depot careers hub at TAFE Queensland’s South Bank Campus, the Heritage Truck Show at Rocklea Showgrounds, and the Heavy Equipment and Machinery Show at the Brisbane Showgrounds.

“What started back in 1968 as an event to connect members with their customers has become much more than that – a week-long festival of all things trucking,” he said.

“Amazingly, it now ranks as Australia’s largest industry exhibition and there are so many other events that run alongside the Truck Show that make it a compelling opportunity for everyone to get together in Brisbane every two years – as evidenced by this year’s eye-popping attendance.”

The show’s success, Hacking added, is underpinned by the huge support from the entire transport industry, from the loyal exhibitors and passionate attendees to the amazing sponsors, suppliers and other stakeholders whose staff worked extraordinarily hard behind the scenes to bring the event together.

“That said, the true heroes in my eyes are the incredible staff of Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia. All of them put their lives on hold for the betterment of the industry.

“The objectives of the event are to improve safety outcomes, better industry perception, foster skills development and workforce participation, link peers and create new technology and innovation, and bring people together.

“I couldn’t be prouder of every team member. But now we have to put that into action, so it is back to work on the important task of representing and advocating for the industry we love.”
