Organised by the Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) formerly the Commercial Vehicle Industry Association of Queensland since its inception in 1968, the Brisbane Truck Show is recognised as the Australian transport industry's premier event.

Held every two years, the Brisbane Truck Show attracts upwards of 300 exhibitors and 37,000 attendees over the four days of entry. Exhibitor displays will showcase the latest in heavy vehicles, technology, engineering and innovation.

The HVIA is dedicated to the continuous development of the show and in maintaining its status as Australia's Premier Industry Event -the event that attracts the highest calibre of industry buyers and attendees providing maximum return on investment for the industry.

The Brisbane Truck Show also plays an important role supporting the Queensland economy. In 2017 HVIA commissioned the AEC group to conduct an Economic Impact Assessment of the 2017 show.

The results for the industry's premier event are outstanding:

Over its duration, the Brisbane Truck Show attracted 63% of its visitors from outside of Brisbane, whilst 28% of those transited from interstate and 11.6% internationally.

Even more impressive is the huge impact the show contributed to the local and State economy, generating:

The equivalent of 279 full time employment positions or 19.7 million in paid wages and salaries.

Adding an additional expenditure of over 73.2 million dollars in output into the Queensland economy.

Contributed a boost in the Gross State Product (GSP) of 36.6 million dollars.

The Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC) is home to the Brisbane Truck Show, which offers exhibitors and visitors total all-weather protection, the most professional convention and meeting room facilities, and walking distance access to the best hotels and restaurants within Brisbane's CBD and South Bank precinct, further underline its standing as a world class industry event.

The BCEC provides undercover parking for 1500 vehicles, with direct lift access to the Centre's convention and exhibition facilities.
