The Auto Trade EXPO, at Citywest Exhibition Centre, Dublin has been branded a run-away success, by the 5,500 plus people who passed through the doors over the weekend.

The transport sector was well served with a feast of stands catering the freight and passenger sectors.

Immediately outside the EXPO entrance, there was a bus on four mobile column lifts, supplied by Redmount International, who won a Best Stand Award, and a Mercedes-Benz Actros Truck on mobile column lifts supplied by Techplus, who won the Tyreshop Tools & Equipment Award for the second year running.

Straight inside the front door, Techplus had a large selection of workshop equipment of interest to the Truck & Bus sector, including a wheel alignment machine, and truck tyre changer.
