For the last three decades, Company Car in Action has offered fleet decision-makers an annual opportunity to connect in-person with major manufacturer brands and their latest vehicles.
But what makes CCIA so valuable for an enterprising fleet professional?
The Visitor Advisory Board (fleet managers who help to shape the event) shared their opinions about why they value the opportunities presented at CCIA and choose to attend this exclusive Fleet News event each year.
1. A thorough range of vehicles
Louise Gregory of Beko Europe says:
“I love CCIA because it showcases comprehensive EV insights under one platform.”
There will be more than 300 vehicles – cars and vans – present at this year’s Company Car in Action for fleet decision-makers to compare and inspect.
Chris Connors from ISS adds:
“Visitors have a great opportunity to drive various cars from multiple manufacturers. It's a safe environment as there are little – or no – salespeople there.”
With so many vehicles on display and available for test driving, CCIA offers fleet managers a prime opportunity to gather information about the latest vehicles available, preparing them to make well-informed decisions about which vehicles are best suited to their fleets.
2. Great for networking and introductions
Sarah Wellstead from Hoare Lea says:
“CCIA is like speed dating for fleet professionals.
Having such a wide variety of OEMs in the same place helps me connect with ones I haven’t historically worked with and catch up with those I do.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for networking and, thanks to attending CCIA, I have connected, formed relationships, and done business with a variety of fleet professionals.”
There will be more than 28 major manufacturer brands and hundreds of fleet representatives present at CCIA 2025, providing an ideal setting for making introductions or reconnecting with peers and suppliers alike. Whether you are comparing experiences in your electrification journeys or picking up new industry contacts, Company Car in Action provides the ideal platform to create the connections you need for the rest of the year.
3. Excellent driving opportunities
Stewart Lightbody from Sureserve says:
“CCIA is the only event where you can put vehicles into real-life, back-to-back testing and truly evaluate the practical, real-world experience of what your drivers can expect.”
Company Car in Action offers an exclusive driving experience for fleet decision-makers.
The event – hosted at UTAC Millbrook proving ground – will allow attendees to test drive vehicles on four unique and specialised driving courses, each with a unique terrain: alpine hill, high speed bowl, last mile delivery circuit and off-road route.
Such high-quality simulations of real driving conditions ensure a full user experience with any vehicle chosen for a test drive, guaranteeing fleets can put vehicles through their paces in a fully comprehensive manner and make informed decisions when choosing (or not) any of the vehicles for their drivers.
Rachel Williams from Uniphar Group adds:
“You can test drive fleet cars on real tracks with expert advice.”
The test-driving experience at CCIA is second to none, regardless of which vehicle you choose to take onto one of the highly specialised tracks, you will benefit from the advice of seasoned industry professionals.
4. An exclusive vehicle showcase
Cathy Wilson from Flagship says:
“It is a great opportunity to compare vehicles side-by-side.”
Manufacturer brands will have representatives present at the event to answer any questions from visitors about the vehicles that are being showcased. Many of the cars and vans at CCIA will be available to test drive, but others will be displayed as static showcase exhibits for in-depth analysis.
Do not miss out on the chance to update your fleet lists with the latest and most up-to-date vehicles with the confidence that can only come from a personal viewing.
5. Develop through seminars and learn from industry experts
Benjamin Mann from NHBC says:
“CCIA is truly an awesome event, I think it’s the best fleet event of the year.
It provides lots of industry support for fleet decision-makers and access to industry experts through insightful and inspiring seminars.”
Company Car in Action will offer several exclusive seminars, providing visitors with opportunities to gather insights and opinions in Q&A settings or group discussions with thought leaders from across the fleet sector.
2025’s CCIA will explore important topics like the transition towards new technologies as they develop, and the economic reasons to consider ‘clean cars’. Fleet professionals seeking to understand the key issues and talking points affecting the industry should take advantage of the learning and development opportunities at this two-day event.
