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.
