Today we got our first taste of this years edition of the InnoTrans at the Berliner Messe. And its not just a first impression, InnoTrans hits you like a tsunami, new trains everywhere. You feel small amid 1.000s of workers, frantically running (and driving) around as they all have to meet that 24-hour deadline. Tomorrow at 9, InnoTrans 2018 will open to trade visitors.
Now: we bring you some first scoops – Expert members get the full report later tonight.
