The Commercial Vehicle Show, providing truck and van operators with
far greater choice than any other exhibition serving this vital industry, is Embed View on Twitter
the leading meeting place for suppliers and operators to network and
learn, with many new products expected to be launched over the three
days of the show. Unrivalled in size, product range and visitor
attendance, the Commercial Vehicle Show atkacted around 21,000 high
quality visitors in 2016, many responsible for large purchasing decisions
within their organisations.

Research at previous Commercial Vehicle Shows confirms that three out
of four visitors to the CV Show is a fleet owner, senior manager or
engineer, with most having sole or joint purchasing responsibility within
their companies. Furthermore, over half of the show's audience is
exclusive to the CV Show as they choose not to attend any other
industry exhibition, meaning access to thousands of key buyers for
exhibitors that simply can't be found at any other show. Commercial
Vehicle Show director Rob Skelton has commented that changes in the
commercial vehicle sector in the pasi year will be reflected at the show.

CVs driving growth
According to figures provided by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and
Traders (SMMT), UK commercial vehicle manufacturing enjoyed double-
digit growth in January. The figures show that 7,502 CVs were buili in
Britain during the first month of 201 7, representing an increase of 10.8
per cent, as overseas demand continued to drive production.
