EXPOCARGA and TEU join forces to develop Test Drive of school vehicles during the event

EXPOCARGA 2023 will take place between November 30 and December 3, 2023 at the Punta del Este Convention Center, and will feature multiple events related to transportation (2 Forums: PROTRANSPORTE and MOBILIDADE 4.0), launches, test drives of trucks, conventional and electric buses and utility vehicles, among other activities.


In a strategic agreement signed between the management of EXPOCARGA and the management of United School Transport, both organizations have committed to joining forces to carry out a Test Drive of conventional and electric vehicles specifically designed for transporting these types of vehicles (*The minimum number of brands/vehicles required for confirmation of the event is 3 units) . The brands present at the exhibition will be able to showcase their vehicles and provide an overview of the offer available on the market.


In this way, the more than 300 TEU members will arrive in groups at EXPOCARGA, with a space specially designed so that transporters can obtain first-hand the greatest amount of information available about the brands, in addition to having the opportunity to drive the vehicle on a circuit designed by the organization.

It should be noted that the organization of EXPOCARGA will try to incorporate public and private organizations and companies that can also inform school transporters about the existing incentive instruments to improve the safety of the units and the financing for the change of vehicles, as well as the feasibility of adopting electric vehicles.
