The 2026 CV Show will mark a departure from previous editions, with a sharper focus on the major transitions impacting the commercial vehicle sector. These include electrification, clean energy adoption, connected technologies, and operational efficiency.
The new theme reflects the event's ambition to support the industry’s response to decarbonisation and digitalisation challenges. The show is being positioned not only as a trade exhibition but also as a platform for policy influence, sector-wide collaboration, and sustainable business growth.
Organisers have committed to delivering a fully reimagined event experience in 2026. This includes an overhauled content programme tailored to the current priorities of the transport and logistics sectors. Key areas of focus will include:
For exhibitors, the rebrand promises increased year-round engagement and a stronger platform for product launches and lead generation. With over 15,000 targeted industry visitors expected, the show aims to strengthen its status as a commercial and strategic hub for the sector.
Nick Davison, recently appointed Event Director, will oversee the rollout of the show’s new direction. "The new brand refresh marks the start of an exciting new era for the CV Show," said Davison. "CV Show 2026 is all about bigger impact, smarter solutions, and helping the sector move forward together."
A further announcement expanding on this new strategic direction is expected next week.
The next edition of the CV Show will take place at the NEC Birmingham from 21–23 April 2026.
The CV Show's rebrand signals a growing recognition within the commercial vehicle industry of the need for events to actively support net zero goals. With decarbonisation deadlines approaching and connected technologies reshaping operations, the repositioning of trade shows like CV Show 2026 reflects the wider transformation underway across fleet, energy, and logistics sectors.
