The Commercial Vehicle Show returns to the NEC Birmingham from 21 to 23 April with a big push towards electrification.
A highlight of the show is the Motor Trader Commercial Industry Awards 2026 which take place on the second day of the show at the Vox, Birmingham.
The award recognise top performers in the commercial dealer sector, top suppliers, inovtors and top van, pick-up and truck.
For 2026 Ford, Renault, Farizon, Iveco, Kia and Isuzu are among those exhibiting electric vehicles targeted at businesses.
Ford will showcase Transit City, an electric van aimed squarely at urban operators with ab 56kWh battery and a claimed range of up to 158 miles.
Ford will also show the Explorer Van, a commercial conversion of the electric Explorer SUV, which trades load-lugging practicality for a much longer claimed range of up to 373 miles.
Renault is showing the new Trafic Van E-Tech electric, which is built on a dedicated platform.
Farizon is debuting the V7E, a smaller electric van joining its larger SV in the UK market.
There will also be significant interest around Iveco’s eJolly and eSuperJolly, which are set to make their UK public debut, while Chery Commercial Vehicles is due to introduce its Delivan electric brand to Europe for the first time.
Kia is returning with a broader PV5 range, including Cargo L1H1 and L2H2 versions for Europe, alongside converted variants and the PV5 Chassis.
Isuzu will show the updated D-Max with its new 2.2-litre diesel engine before UK deliveries begin in July, as well as the production version of the D-Max EV.
