LG Electronics is showing its full commercial laundry range at EXPODETERGO International 2026, held October 23–26 in Milan, Italy. The company wants to win more dealers and grow its business-to-business presence in Europe. It is presenting mass-produced models from its Professional Laundry lineup for the first time, along with its Wet Cleaning solution, making its European debut. Wet Cleaning uses water and special detergents as an alternative to dry cleaning. LG is also promoting its LaundryCrew app and Open API for remote monitoring and management. In August 2026, LG won an order from Germany-based distributor SCHILLING Wäschereitechnik GmbH, with deliveries under way. LG also has distributors in the UK, France, Italy, and Hungary.

LG Electronics is showing what it calls the world's first integrated V2X-V2N safety platform aligned with Euro NCAP cooperative safety scenarios. It is presenting the system at the 2026 Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) World Congress, held October 19 to 23 in Gangneung, South Korea. The Soft V2X platform combines direct vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications with cloud-based vehicle-to-network (V2N) connectivity. In live road demonstrations from October 20 to 22, it warns of hazards at blind intersections and detects approaching pedestrians and cyclists. LG is also joining Toyota and regional ITS associations in a joint declaration to promote cooperative safety technologies and a zero-accident society. "Reducing traffic accidents requires more than improving the safety performance of individual vehicles," said Lee Sang-yong, head of the VS R&D Laboratory at the LG Vehicle Solution Company.
