Truck and Track Winter 2025/26 www.truckandtrack.com 72 COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SHOW 2026 In April 2026, the UK’s road transport sector will converge on the NEC Birmingham as two powerhouse exhibitions come together under one roof: the Commercial Vehicle Show (CV Show) and its co located partner, the Bus and Coach Expo (BCE). Running from Tuesday 21 to Thursday 23 April 2026 in Halls 4 and 5, the shows offer an unprecedented opportunity for manufacturers, fleet operators, suppliers and industry decision makers to engage, connect, and drive meaningful change across the commercial and passenger transport landscape. A New Era for CV: Re imagined and Expanded The CV Show 2026 promises much more than a traditional industry gathering. Organisers say the show is raising the bar once again, offering more innovation, insight, and impact than ever before. Central to this promise are three key pillars: a redesigned floor plan, new feature zones, and an expanded content programme across the three days. Visitors will find more than 300 leading brands on the show floor, from HGVs and LCVs to fleet technologies, workshop equipment, cameras and safety systems. The aim is to create the go to destination for practical solutions that help businesses operate safer, more efficiently and more sustainably. Among the standout new feature zones: Ride and Drive Area For the first time at this scale, attendees can get behind the wheel of the latest vehicles. From electric and hydrogen models to advanced safety systems and alternative fuel drivetrains, the area allows attendees to experience innovations first hand, compare performance and speak directly with manufacturers and product specialists. FutureFleet Lab and Arena This technology hub brings together the innovations shaping the future of road transport. From autonomous systems and smart infrastructure to connected vehicle technologies and next generation fuels, the FutureFleet Lab offers a look ahead at what commercial fleets will be investing in over the next decade. Driver Safety Zone Designed to focus on the human element behind every fleet, this area highlights safety technologies, behavioural training, compliance essentials, incident prevention strategies, and realworld best practice. Collaboration Zone Government departments, leading industry associations and key decision makers come together in this informal space designed for conversation and knowledge exchange. Comfortable seating and a central location ensure collaboration sits at the heart of the event. Workshop Zone One of the show’s most popular returning features, the Workshop Zone brings together suppliers of diagnostics equipment, tools, servicing technologies, and garage solutions.
