The CV Show 2026: What to look out for

26 Mar 2026

The Commercial Vehicle Show 2026 will see a host of new vehicle, technology and concept launches, all demonstrating the rapid innovation currently taking place across the sector.

This mix of UK and international unveilings reflects the industry’s accelerating shift towards electrification, digitalisation and advanced fleet solutions.

In this week’s Transport News Brief, we take a look at just some of the exhibitor stands to look out for.

STELLANTIS PRO ONE (Stand: 5F110)

Stellantis will be promoting its Pro One brand which offers a comprehensive product and service portfolio for professional Citroën, FIAT Professional, Opel, Peugeot and Vauxhall customers running vans and pickup vehicles.

With more than 20,000 dedicated sales and service points, Stellantis Pro One focuses on zero-emission technologies, connected services, and customer-centric solutions.

For example, the Stellantis CustomFit program delivers tailor-made vehicle conversions, both through factory-integrated options and a network of qualified partners, covering a wide range of professional applications.

Stellantis Pro One supports companies of every size – from independent tradespeople to national fleets.

CHERY (Stand 5A120)

A key highlight will be the launch of the new Delivan electric commercial vehicle brand from Chinese manufacturer Chery Commercial Vehicles (CCV).

Developed by technology division Van Bu, Delivan vehicles will feature electric drivetrains, intelligent digital platforms and connected fleet technologies tailored for logistics and urban mobility.

In January, Chery announced it plans to open a European headquarters in Liverpool that will support research, engineering and commercial development for CCV.

WEBFLEET (Stand EVP3)

Visitors to the Webfleet stand will be able to experience and discuss the company’s tools that support CO₂ reporting across fleet operations, assess vehicle suitability for electrification and help fleets plan and manage their transition.

Throughout the show, Webfleet experts will be on hand to explain how fleet and charging data can be used to schedule charging around operational needs, energy tariffs and grid constraints.

Alex Crane-Robinson, regional director UK and Ireland at Webfleet, said: “Fleet electrification has moved beyond planning and pilot phases for many operators.

“The challenge now is making decarbonisation practical and cost-effective in day-to-day operations.

“At this year’s Commercial Vehicle Show, we’ll be demonstrating how connected vehicle and charging intelligence can help control costs, reduce emissions and keep electric fleets productive.”

SHELL (Stand 4E41)

Shell UK is a major exhibitor and sponsor of the Future Fleet Lab at the show and on its stand, it will be demonstrating its range of fleet electrification and sustainability products for industry professionals.

IVECO (5A70)

The show will see the UK public debut of the Iveco eJolly and eSuperJolly, representing the company’s first entry into the medium van segment and reinforcing its focus on sustainable commercial transport.

These new vehicles are fully electric LCVs designed for urban missions.

The eJolly is a compact medium van (up to 3.2t, 1,175kg payload) with a 1.9m height, while the eSuperJolly is a larger, high-volume van (up to 4.25t, 1.4t payload).

FORD (Stand 5E10)

Ford will be exhibiting a range of vehicles including its newExplorer Van, an N1 commercial vehicle conversion of the all-electric Explorer SUV.

The Explorer van is aimed at fleet operators and likely to include a two-seat layout with a large, flat cargo area, replacing the rear seats of the passenger SUV.

The model is expected to offer a driving range of up to 373 miles – likely based on WLTP cycles.

KIA (stand 5C95)

Kia returns to the CV Show with its growing PV5 line-up, including premieres of two new body styles.

This year, the company will highlight its expanding network of approved converters for the PV5 – all specialists in racking, refrigeration, and tipping configurations.

DESCARTES SYSTEMS GROUP (5F103)

Descartes Systems Group will showcase its latest artificial intelligence-enabled fleet, routing, telematics and customer engagement innovations at the show.

The firm aims to demonstrate how its advanced fleet, routing, telematics and customer engagement tools help organisations of all sizes gain real-time visibility, optimise delivery performance, deliver exceptional customer service and improve delivery performance.

Andrew Tavener, Head of Fleet Marketing EMEA at Descartes said: “Fleet operators can’t afford to settle for an ‘okay’ performance anymore.

“With margins under pressure, rising customer expectations, and increasingly demanding sustainability targets, there’s more pressure than ever on fleet operators today.”

ISUZU UK (Stand: 5D60)

Isuzu UK, known for its pick‑up expertise, will again display its latest D‑Max models, including variants designed for operators seeking durability and versatility in demanding working environments.

Its New D-Max EV includes 4×4 off-road, tow, and load capability, making it suited to demanding utility, fleet and commercial applications.

The electric pickup has a dual-motor full-time 4WD system and features a 9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

With its five tonne towing capacity and one tonne payload, the vehicle also produces a total output of 140 kW and 325 Nm torque.

FARIZON (Stand 5D110)

At the NEC, Farizon is planning to exhibit new potential variations of its SV van. New updates for the SV include Android Auto compatibility for improved connectivity, and important security updates also mean that the SV’s insurance rating will improve further, meaning lower insurance premiums. Ergonomic enhancements include six-way adjustable seating and four-way steering adjustment to improve driver comfort.

HARRIS GROUP (Stand 5D120)

Maxus will be showcasing several key models from its electric van line-up. The stand will also highlight the wider Maxus ecosystem – from telematics and fleet support services through to its growing dealer and aftersales network. Maxus said it wants attendees to see that it is “not just introducing new vehicles, but building a complete LCV proposition for the UK market.”

Nick Davison, event director for the CV Show, said: “Each year the Commercial Vehicle Show provides a platform for the industry’s biggest manufacturers and innovators to showcase what comes next for the sector.

“With 10 major launches taking place on the opening day alone, this year’s event will highlight the scale of innovation happening across commercial vehicles – from new electric platforms and advanced van technology to the infrastructure and services supporting fleet operators.”

The CV Show 2026 runs from 21 to 23 April at the NEC in Birmingham.
