International transport exhibition
The International Transport Exhibition (IVA) was a trade fair taking place in Germany at which the entire spectrum of transport technology was shown. The IVA emerged from the German Transport Exhibition (DVA) and took place at irregular intervals at various trade fair locations in Germany.
The IVA 1965 from June 25 to October 3, 1965 in Munich ( Theresienhöhe exhibition center ) was recognized as an international exhibition by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE). Rail transport has always been a major focus . New technologies were presented to a broad public for the first time at each of the transport exhibitions. On the open-air site, more than 100 rail vehicles were exhibited on nine tracks with 3500 m of rails, including the recently completed E 03 , but also other draft horses: E 10.12 , E 50 , V 169 , V 200.1 , V 320 and the multiple units ET 27 , ETA 150 , VT 11.5 , VT 24.6 , as well as French and Belgian locomotives like the SNCF CC 40100 with INOX-TEE wagons . One focus was on freight wagons of various types, including those for combined transport . Track construction machines could partly be seen in operation. The attraction was trips with the E 03 electric locomotive on the route between Munich and Augsburg with passenger train speeds of up to 200 km / h. Also in 1965 the first real was light rail - rail cars from the type U1 of DUEWAG presented. A total of 3.2 million visitors came.
At the IVA 1979 in Hamburg , the Transrapid 05 magnetic levitation train carried visitors on a commuter route between the exhibition grounds and the neighboring Heiligengeistfeld , which served as the exhibition grounds. In addition, an in 1979 pre-series of the new three-phase - locomotive of the 120 series introduced. In the bus sector, battery electric buses ( MAN SL 200 with electric motor and single-axle battery trailer) and hybrid electric buses ( Daimler-Benz O 305 OE with diesel engine , electric motor and batteries) were used for shuttle service from parking spaces . In addition, Daimler-Benz and the construction company Züblin presented the O-Bahn ( Mercedes-Benz O 305 ) as a track bus on special paths made of concrete lanes (also over bridges and through tunnels).
The IVA 1988 also took place in Hamburg. The then world record vehicle (406.9 km / h) InterCityExperimental , the prototype of the ICE , and the new prototype of the Transrapid magnetic levitation train , the Transrapid 07, were presented there .
Domestic and foreign locomotive and wagon construction manufacturers (e.g. Thyssen-Henschel , VEB Waggonbau Görlitz ) exhibited robust locomotives, freight and passenger wagons and special vehicles intended for export, in particular for the specialist public, which was less noticed by the general public .
In addition to the exhibition, specific lectures, symposia, etc. were held for specialists .
An IVA announced for the year 2000 was canceled again because of the Expo 2000 .
InnoTrans , which has taken place every two years in Berlin since 1996, can be regarded as its successor .
