The European Taxi Fair in Cologne is a prominent trade fair held every two years in November, specifically aimed at taxi and rental car business operators as well as interested parties from both Germany and abroad. Since its inception in 1980 by the Fachvereinigung Personenverkehr Nordrhein, Taxi-Mietwagen e.V., it has established itself as a key platform for information and industry exchange. The fair offers a diverse program tailored to the needs of individual entrepreneurs as well as large operational centers. Attendees gain comprehensive insights into current and future developments in the industry. Core topics include updates in passenger transport law, innovative propulsion systems such as alternative fuels like HVO 100, and the integration of electric vehicles through expanded charging infrastructure. Another focal point is the integration of taxis into public transportation systems, the development of on-demand transport services, and the provision of specially adapted vehicles for inclusive transport. The fair also highlights sustainable mobility solutions, such as e-fuels and hydrogen technologies, to reduce CO2 emissions. The role of autonomous driving technologies and their impact on the industry is also thoroughly examined. Through lectures, panel discussions, and practical examples, the opportunities and challenges associated with autonomous vehicles and robot taxis are comprehensively explored. The European Taxi Fair takes place at the modern and easily accessible Cologne exhibition grounds, offering ideal conditions for both exhibitors and visitors. With its long-standing tradition, targeted offerings, and unique focus on the taxi and rental car industry, the fair serves as an indispensable source of information and networking platform for all participants. It is not only a trade fair but a pivotal event for the future of mobility in Europe. The European Taxi Fair takes place biennially, and therefore for the 14th time previsibly in November 2026 in Cologne.
