Buses

A successful first day at Busworld Southeast Asia

The Southeast Asian bus and coach industry is entering a transformative era, shaped by electrification, digitalization, smart mobility, and rising demand for sustainable public transport. At the center of this evolution is Busworld Southeast Asia 2026, the region’s leading B2B exhibition dedicated exclusively to the bus and coach industry.

In the middle of one of the biggest city’s in the world you find Busworld Southeast Asia. Here in the Jakarta International Expo you can see all the new bus- and coach models. Meet people from your business and conect to new people.

Organized under the global Busworld brand, Busworld Southeast Asia has established itself as the premier networking and business platform for the regional passenger transportation sector. The exhibition focuses exclusively on buses and coaches, covering everything from vehicles and body assembly to software, ticketing systems, electric mobility, and smart fleet technologies.

Indonesia is a big country when it comes to public transport with buses. In Jakarta there is a great Bus Rapid Transit BRT system. And they also have a great over-night intercity system where you can sleep on the move.

There is also a demand on sightseeing buses. So from this June Open Dining will start a new concept with dinner on the buss when you at the same time are getting a guided tour in the old town.

One of the highlights of Busworld Southeast Asia 2026 is the strong participation of Indonesia’s renowned coachbuilders. Major manufacturers including Adiputro, Laksana, New Armada, and Tentrem are expected to showcase their latest innovations alongside international brands such as Golden Dragon.

Electrification is expected to be a major theme at the 2026 edition. Governments across Southeast Asia are accelerating policies to reduce emissions and modernize urban transport systems. Indonesia alone has ambitious plans to expand its electric bus fleet, while city operators such as TransJakarta continue to scale up zero-emission public transportation.
