CV Show 2024
The Commercial Vehicle Show recently returned for another year at Birmingham’s NEC. Once again, the event delivered an exciting array of exhibitions from the familiar favourites as well a few up-and-coming names in the market.
Across the board, there were some excellent displays of innovation and a strong commitment to the future of clean commercial transport with Ford showcasing its expanding E-Transit line-up and Renault offering an early opportunity to check out the new Master van.
There was a wide range of electric commercials including JLC’s city-friendly line-up, Canoo’s futuristic van, and the B-On Pelkan - fresh from its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Maxus also launched two new models at the show: the MIFA 7 and the eDeliver 5.
We were lucky enough to have our own stand at this year’s event with our team of LCV experts on hand to share insights and showcase our industry-leading LCV proposition. It was great to catch up with some of our customers, partners and industry colleagues – thanks to all who stopped by.

Our years of experience in providing commercial vehicles mean that our team of consultants are best placed to work with you from the outset to understand your business model and identify your vehicle needs and the optimum solutions.
