The CV Show, which was cancelled this year after being hit by the credit crunch, is set to be relaunched in 2010 as the Commercial Vehicle Operator Show, to be held from April 13-15 at the NEC, Birmingham.
The event will see a wide range of products and services used in the day- to-day running of commercial vehicles of all sizes and types, with a particular accent on environmental impact, improved efficiency and profitability.
The event is owned by the CV Show Partnership, comprising the Road Haulage Association, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders and IRTE Services, the trading company of the Society of Operations Engineers.
Nick Jones, chief executive at the SOE, said: “This industry needs a business-to-business show to cater for professional transport operators’ wide-ranging needs and the Commercial Vehicle Operator Show will do that.”
The new show aims to generate business and save time and money for exhibitors and visitors by creating a lively marketplace, where operators can meet and discuss business with a wide range of providers.
