The UK's largest road transport and commercial vehicle exhibition, with more than 350 exhibitors, live product demonstrations and practical sessions for fleet and workshop professionals.
The Commercial Vehicle Show returns to the NEC Birmingham from Tuesday 20 to Thursday 22 April 2027, taking over Halls 4 and 5. It's a long-standing fixture on the UK transport and fleet calendar, and it's billed as the country's largest road transport and commercial vehicle exhibition.
There's a lot to get through over the three days. More than 350 exhibitors will be on the floor, alongside live product demonstrations and a look at the latest diagnostic and repair tooling. There are also practical sessions led by sector specialists, so it's as much about talking through the work as it is about seeing the kit. The show is aimed squarely at workshop owners and technicians taking on commercial contracts, van fleet maintenance and light-haulier servicing.
Much of what you'll see tracks how the sector is transitioning in the real world. Fleet operators are balancing depot efficiency with emission-reduction targets, and the mix of powertrains on display reflects that: modern clean diesels sit alongside battery-electric and alternative-fuel vans. It's a good way to see how those different options are actually playing out in a working environment.
