Event overview
Comtrux Astana 2027 is the tenth-anniversary edition of Central Asia's commercial vehicle and road logistics trade fair, running 9–11 June 2027 at the EXPO International Exhibition Centre in Astana, Kazakhstan. The show brings truck, bus and trailer manufacturers together with fleet operators, distributors, bodybuilders, telematics suppliers and logistics service providers from across the region.
A focused three-day format combines an exhibition floor with a business programme on fleet efficiency, alternative fuels and cross-border corridors. Buyers use it to compare vehicles and equipment, meet regional dealers and source components.
Exhibitors gain direct access to Kazakhstan's transport, construction and municipal fleet buyers within one compact, B2B-focused event.
TL;DR
Meet regional dealers and OEMs in one hall, compare total cost of ownership across truck, bus and trailer ranges, and sit in on practical sessions about fleet efficiency and cross-border operations. It is an efficient way to qualify suppliers before committing to a fleet order.
Kazakhstan's fleet renewal, municipal bus upgrades and logistics investment create live demand, and the Astana audience includes distributors, fleet owners and public buyers. A compact three-day show keeps travel and stand costs controlled while putting your brand in front of the region's decision-makers.

Edition recap

New this edition
Tenth-anniversary edition
The 2027 show marks ten editions of the Astana commercial vehicle fair and is positioned around the same co-located transport and logistics format.
SourceImpact
A 2,786-visitor, 147-exhibitor show is compact enough for a small team to work the floor properly, yet it draws buyers from 22 countries into one Astana hall. The value is concentrated in qualified fleet, distributor and public-sector conversations rather than raw footfall.
Audience quality
The audience is shaped by Kazakhstan's fleet operators, regional dealers and municipal transport buyers, with logistics and freight-forwarding managers attending the co-located programme. Expect technical buying conversations and tender-oriented questions rather than consumer browsing.
Exhibitor outcomes
With a 9 m² shell booth costing an estimated KZT 400,000–550,000 and Astana hotel nights around USD 75–150, a team of three can run the show for roughly USD 4,000–6,000 excluding travel. One qualified distributor or fleet order covers the cost; exhibitors should staff for technical demos and book meetings before arrival.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Kazakhstan is the region's largest commercial vehicle market and the main overland bridge between China and Europe. Fleet renewal, municipal transport upgrades and Middle Corridor investment are creating demand for trucks, buses, trailers, telematics and aftermarket service across Astana and the wider region.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Fleet renewal and total cost of ownership
Operators are replacing ageing Soviet-era fleets and comparing purchase price against fuel, maintenance and resale value over five to seven years.
What it changes: Suppliers that can present TCO models and local service coverage win against low-price bids.
Cleaner urban buses and alternative fuels
Municipal fleets are testing compressed gas, electric and hybrid buses, while charging and refuelling infrastructure remains the main constraint.
What it changes: Bus and chassis makers that bring a complete energy and service package are better placed in public tenders.
Middle Corridor and digital freight
Growing Trans-Caspian volumes are pushing forwarders and fleets toward real-time tracking, route optimisation and cross-border document automation.
What it changes: Telematics and fleet-software vendors can sell directly to logistics companies looking for corridor visibility.
