Europe – NürnbergMesse is operating four shuttle buses that run on HVO100(‘ biodiesel’) at the venue. At GalaBau 2026 in September, the international fair dedicated to the planning, and maintenance of urban green and open spaces, visitors were able to hop on onboard with NürnbergMesse’ s plans for reducing CO₂ and emissions from the vehicles used in its operations.“ For many visitors, the shuttle buses are their first point of contact with the exhibition venue. That is why it is important to use HVO100 to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in this area too,” said Dirk Blum, senior VP ' finance and facility ' at the NürnbergMesse Group.
