Vanaways attended the Commercial Vehicle Show 2026 at the NEC Birmingham this week, joining leading figures from across the road freight, transport, and logistics sectors.
Widely regarded as the UK’s flagship event for commercial vehicles, the show brought together manufacturers, converters, fleet operators, and technology providers. The event offered a comprehensive view of how the industry is evolving and the direction it is expected to take in the coming years.
A strong emphasis was placed on innovation and sustainability throughout this year’s exhibition. Electric and alternative fuel vehicles, advanced fleet management solutions, and intelligent vehicle design were among the key themes, while a series of speaker sessions provided insight into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of commercial transport.
One of the highlights for the Vanaways team was the opportunity to see the all-new MAXUS eTERRON 9 up close. The vehicle reflects the rapid progress being made in electric commercial vehicle capability and design, offering a glimpse into the future of the sector.
For Vanaways, attendance at the show is not only about staying informed on industry developments, but also about strengthening partnerships, exploring new ideas, and ensuring its van conversion solutions continue to meet the evolving needs of customers. The event also provided valuable opportunities to connect with peers and engage in meaningful industry discussions.
The team described the visit as a productive and insightful experience and we look forward to returning to the show next year.
