Over 11,000 visitors are expected to see the event. In the exhibition area more than 100 companies will be present with their products, services and innovation ideas. After considering the results of the two exhibitions, that were held at almost the same time in November 2007, in Freiburg and Bern, Marco Biland, the president of the exhibition said, that NUFA 2008 will be the only exhibition in the commercial vehicle category and will attract a lot of visitors. The CARFAR exhibition, which was organized in 2000 for the first time, after the Salons Genf commercial vehicles event ceased to exist, was a great success in the beginning. This success story came to an end when two similar exhibitions were held in Freiburg and Bern in the same year as the one in Luzern, and this fact was truly not appreciated by the exhibiting companies. „The new name, NUFA Schweiz means the continuation of the Luzern success story, because the 2008 exhibition has no competitor" - said Mr Marco Biland The ZT Fachmessen AG, the organisers of the most successful Swiss construction machinery exhibition the BAUMAG and the International Forestry Exhibition, believes that Luzern is both geographically and infrastructurally the best place to hold exhibitions. In February the decision was made in Luzern to build two new exhibition halls, together 10,000 m2, an important aspect of the development and future of the exhibition. The determination of Luzern was shown by the start of the construction work on August 2. 2008.
