Commercial Vehicle Show 4 – 26 April 2012 at Birmingham’s NEC.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has announced that, subject to ABC Audit, the attendance figure for this year’s Commercial Vehicle Show 2012 and Workshop 2012 exceeded 16,000 visitors, once again topping the figure for the previous year.



Paul Everitt, SMMT Chief Executive said, “2012 was another great year for the CV Show with a high number of quality visitors and a great response from exhibitors. We’re already looking forward to 2013 when the show will have official international accreditation, recognising the significance of the event and the UK road transport industry.”

 “From an engineer’s perspective,” said Nick Jones, Chief Executive of the Society of Operations Engineers, “it was excellent to see so many visitors involved in the technical side of the business. The range of exhibitors at this year’s show underlines the fact that there really is something there for everyone.”

The Commercial Vehicle Show is owned by the CV Show LLP, comprising the Road Haulage Association, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders and IRTE Services Ltd, the trading company of the SOE (Society of Operations Engineers).
