HERE has announced that will showcase AI-powered route optimisation and decision-support capabilities at next weeks IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 event in Hannover, demonstrating how location intelligence can help transportation teams adapt faster when plans meet real-world conditions.

HERE is focused on helping fleets and logistics providers solve a practical challenge: routes planned early in the morning can be disrupted within hours by traffic, driver availability, carrier disruptions, last-minute order changes and other unexpected events.

At IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 HERE will demonstrate how AI reasoning, commercial vehicle routing, last meter delivery guidance and transportation-specific AI agents can help organizations adapt faster when plans meet real-world conditions.

HERE will also demonstrate an AI agent tasked with identifying and explaining the safest, most compliant and productive route for heavy transport, helping dispatchers plan operations with a higher degree of confidence.

“The opportunity is not just to create a better plan, but to help transportation teams anticipate changes and know what to do next,” said Bart Coppelmans, Senior Director of Product Management at HERE Technologies. “By combining commercial vehicle routing, driver feedback and location-aware AI reasoning, HERE helps fleets and logistics providers make more confident decisions from planning through execution.”

This shift is becoming more urgent as cost pressure, service expectations and operational disruptions make static planning harder to rely on.

HERE will be hosting an Industry Stage session titled “From Data to Decisions: How Location Intelligence Is Transforming Truck Mobility” on September 15 from 16:00 to 16:45.

The discussion will explore how commercial vehicle manufacturers,technology providers and fleet operators are using location intelligence, connected vehicle technologies and AI to improve efficiency, support electrification and deliver smarter transportation services.
