MOT To Hold TXA 2025 As Platform For Industry Players In Transport, Logistics
GENERAL SEPANG, June 24 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Transport (MOT) will for the first time organise the Transport Expo Asia (TXA) 2025 from Nov 11 to 13, as a platform to bring together industry players in the transport and logistics sector. Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the organisation of TXA 2025 strengthens Malaysia's role as a regional leader in the competitive transport and logistics sector. He said it brings together policymakers, industry players, academics and technology providers to shape a smarter and more sustainable future of mobility and trade. "TXA 2025 is a platform for us to discuss and also shape a more sustainable and greener future for our country's transport facilities and trade," he said in a press conference after launching TXA 2025 here today. Loke said TXA is an additional event to the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) but it focuses on industry players in the transport sector. He said the Cabinet had allowed the Transport Ministry to organise another event because LIMA would focus on defence while TXA would focus on transport and logistics. 'This year, MOT will not be the organiser of LIMA. TXA 2025 will be the inaugural edition of the biennial TXA series, with TXA 2026 planned for the third quarter of next year,' he said, adding that the location of the event would be determined later. He said among the important programmes organised with TXA 2025 was the 2025 Road Safety Congress, which would continue in the 2026 edition as an official annual event. 'This congress is being held to raise awareness and cooperation in strengthening road safety in Malaysia,' he said.

Malaysia hosts inaugural Transport Expo Asia (TXA) 2025
SEPANG: The Transport Ministry has officially launched Transport Expo Asia (TXA) 2025, a flagship event focused on innovation, connectivity, and sustainability in the transport and logistics sector. Transport Minister Anthony Loke, speaking at the launch at Sama-Sama Hotel in KLIA on Tuesday (June 24), described the expo as a strategic platform for a 'smarter, greener and more agile' future for Malaysia's transport and trade ecosystem. 'This event bridges the gap between policy and implementation, and supports our national vision for a sustainable and competitive transport system. 'The organisation of TXA 2025 comes at an opportune time to leverage this momentum in transport and logistics performance. 'It aims to strengthen collaboration between government and industry in tackling the pressing challenges of globalisation, automation and sustainability,' he said. Scheduled for November 11 to 13 at Sama-Sama Hotel, TXA 2025 is expected to gather over 80 exhibitors from multimodal transport, smart logistics, infrastructure, cold chain systems, automation, and digital solutions. Themed 'Future On The Move: Digital, Sustainable Transport, Agile Logistics & ESG-Driven Supply Chains,' the event coincides with Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship, enhancing its regional significance. 'One of the key highlights of the event will be the Road Safety Congress 2025, which will return in 2026 as a dedicated annual programme by the ministry and the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS). 'The congress aims to foster cross-sectoral collaboration in reducing road accidents and improving safety outcomes,' Loke said during the media conference. The three-day expo will feature 25 thematic sessions and is expected to draw more than 3,000 trade visitors and 1,000 delegates, including government agencies, academia, GLCs, and tech firms. A Gala Dinner on November 13 will also feature a preview of the upcoming TXA Awards, to be formally presented during TXA 2026. Loke added that TXA is part of the Ministry's broader policy agenda, aligned with the National Transport Policy 2019–2030, the National Logistics and Trade Facilitation Master Plan, and the National Digitalisation Policy. 'The expo also reflects Malaysia's role as a regional leader in trade facilitation, digital logistics, and sustainability transformation, bolstered by its rise to 26th place in the World Bank's 2023 Logistics Performance Index and second in ASEAN after Singapore,' he said. TXA is expected to become a biennial series, with plans for TXA 2026 already underway. The Prime Minister is expected to officiate the TXA 2025 opening ceremony in November.
