Registration for the highly anticipated Commercial Vehicle Show is now open with the 2024 edition set to take place at Birmingham's NEC from April 23 to 25.
With the theme of safety taking centre stage, the upcoming show promises to be a pivotal event for operators and manufacturers in the commercial vehicle industry.
In recent years, the commercial vehicle sector has witnessed a remarkable improvement in safety outcomes, thanks to a collective commitment to safety-conscious vehicle design, aftermarket technologies, and driver training. According to data from the Department for Transport, collision rates for vans and trucks have seen a significant decline over the past decade. Today's light commercial vehicles, LGV, are 27% less likely to be involved in a collision per billion miles travelled compared to a decade ago, while heavy goods vehicle, HGV, collision rates have more than halved.
Last year's show attracted over 12,000 visitors with fleet buying authority from across Britain . Attendees had the opportunity to explore cutting-edge technology integrated into the latest heavy goods vehicles and light commercial vehicles presented by some of the world's largest vehicle brands. More than 100 vendors showcased essential safety-supporting products, including cameras, reversing aids, telematics, braking, and tire management systems, all designed to maximize safe operations.
The 2024 edition of the CV Show is expected to draw an even larger crowd of operators eager to stay at the forefront of industry developments. Attendees will have the chance to gain firsthand insights into the latest innovations on the show floor, making informed decisions for their fleets. The show's comprehensive seminar theatre program will cover critical areas such as driver well-being, attracting and retaining top talent, and transitioning fleets away from fossil fuels – a new addition for 2024.
