Truck and Track Spring 2026 www.truckandtrack.com 16 COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SHOW 2026 The Commercial Vehicle Show and Bus & Coach Expo returns to the NEC Birmingham from 21st to 23rd April 2026, bringing together the very best of the road transport, logistics, and passenger mobility sectors for what promises to be the most significant edition in recent years. As the UK’s leading event for road freight, distribution, and transport solutions, the Commercial Vehicle Show has long been recognised as the industry’s meeting place, where innovation is unveiled, partnerships are formed, and the future of commercial mobility takes shape. Co-located with the Bus & Coach Expo, the 2026 event expands its reach even further, creating a comprehensive platform that connects the full transport ecosystem under one roof. This year, the show is set to raise the bar once again. The Biggest Show in Recent Years The 2026 edition will be the largest the show has been in recent years, driven by an exceptional line-up of exhibitors, new global brands entering the market, and a significant expansion in both scale and scope. Major industry players are returning to the show floor, including Harris Group and Stellantis, reinforcing the event’s position as a must-attend destination for serious business. Their continued participation highlights the value the show delivers, not just in visibility, but in meaningful commercial engagement and longterm growth opportunities. Alongside these returning names, a host of major exhibitors have rebooked for 2026, underlining the strong confidence the industry has in the event. This growing exhibitor base ensures a dynamic and diverse show floor, where visitors can explore a wide range of solutions spanning vehicles, equipment, technology, and services. Adding further momentum, internationally recognised manufacturers such as Higer and BYD will be exhibiting, bringing fresh innovation and global perspective to the UK market. Their presence reflects the rapid evolution of the industry, particularly in areas such as electrification, zero-emission transport, and sustainable mobility solutions. Together, this combination of returning leaders, rebooked exhibitors, and new global entrants makes the 2026 show a landmark moment, one that truly reflects the scale and ambition of the sector today. A Showcase of Innovation: 10+ UK Launches Innovation will take centre stage at this year’s event, with more than 10 UK launches set to be unveiled across the three days. From cutting-edge commercial vehicles to next-generation fleet technologies, the show will offer visitors an exclusive first look at the products and solutions shaping the future of transport. These launches are more than just announcements, they represent the direction of travel for the industry. As businesses navigate the transition to cleaner, more efficient operations, the ability to see, compare, and engage with the latest innovations in one place is invaluable. For exhibitors, the show provides a powerful platform to debut new products, generate buzz, and connect directly with a highly engaged audience. For visitors, it offers a unique opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and make informed decisions that will impact their operations in the years ahead.
