Having successfully broken the ground in Europe with a new annual expo for the off-highway vehicle design and engineering community in 2017, the first-ever US version of the show took place in Chicago in August 2022 and was equally well received. The event heralds a new style of expo for the design and engineering community involved in the development of all types of industrial and off-highway vehicles, with exhibits that are highly focused in a manageable, compact format that enables visitors to get a lot out of a one-day attendance.

The show is the work of Tony Robinson, the founder of Industrial Vehicle Technology International magazine (now published separately by Mark Allen Group), who says, "With more than a quarter of a century of experience running shows across the world (our current portfolio includes China, India, Europe and of course the USA), one thing I have learned is Bring the Show to the Market - hence the decision to come to Chicago. The other big differentiator is that we put on specialist design and engineering events specifically for the design and engineering community. It's about coming to an event created specifically for finding technology solutions, supply chain partners and new concepts. There will be no OEM vehicle exhibits, only Tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers. No huge complexity, just 100 exhibitors that visitors can get round in a day, then return to their offices full of new possibilities."
