Traditionally an occasion for much of the truck industry’s news each year, the annual Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) was as noteworthy this year for its lack of news as it was for the news that did come out of the show.
Various truck manufacturers forewent attendance at this year’s show, opting instead for the biennial schedule followed by many European tradeshows; most notably the IAA, the commercial truck mega show that takes place this fall in Hannover, Germany.
