The Power Truck Show Set an All-Time Attendance Record
The Power Truck Show drew more than 37,000 visitors to PowerPark on August 7–8. Over the course of two days, approximately 730 heavy-duty vehicles were on display in the PowerPark event area. The transportation fair brought together companies and professionals from the transportation and automotive industries, as well as the latest fleet vehicles.
In recent years, the Power Truck Show has grown into a major international event. Vehicles from eight different countries took home awards.
Several tire importers, tire retailers, and chains—such as Continental Rengas, Lapin Kumi, RengasCenter, Rengasmesta, Scason, and NDI Finland—also had a prominent presence at the transportation fair. RAT Autotarvike Oy and Örum were also present at the event.
The Startax pulling arena hosted a truck pulling competition for on-road trucks. Iina Kaikkonen won the “Lift Axle & Semi-Trailer” class in a Scania R500 6×4. Arto Peräaho drove a Volvo FH16 to victory in the “Rig” class.
Drifting demonstrations drew large crowds to the stands, and RebelWerks’ Meet & Greet events were among the weekend’s biggest crowd-draws.
“This year’s attendance exceeded all our expectations. Over 37,000 visitors is an all-time record for the Power Truck Show.” “It’s great to see how much interest the event generates among transportation professionals, heavy-duty vehicle enthusiasts, and families alike,” says event organizer Hannele Loukasmäki.
