What We Learned from the Commercial Vehicle Show 2018

The Commercial Vehicle Show is the largest and most comprehensive road transport and commercial vehicle event in the whole of Britain. It provides operators of commercial vehicles, from trucks to vans, with a multitude of choices which can’t be found elsewhere. The show attracts around 21,000 business visitors annually in Birmingham, and we were amongst this year’s crowd. The Fueltek team took to the road on April 24th to 26th and headed to the NEC to be a part of this innovative event. So, what did we do at the show, who did we meet, and, most importantly, what did we learn? There are two main areas with dedicated zones which include WORKSHOP and COOL. WORKSHOP is a shop window – a kind of insight into hundreds of exhibitors within the entire automotive market and commercial vehicle sector. This area included everything from OE components to replacement parts, and from maintenance management systems to body shop equipment. COOL is a dedicated area for the special requirements of temperature-controlled operators, including an array of refrigerated transport and cold chain equipment. In this area, there was a huge range of refrigerated vehicles and bodywork, presented side-by-side with fridge units, monitoring equipment and much more. The types of people we found at the show include truck, van and trailer manufacturers, forklift trucks drivers, vehicle insurers, tyre providers, training providers, fuel suppliers, telematics suppliers, and fuel management systems vendors, like us! It truly provides something for everyone who are looking to boost productivity and profit – or who are looking to invest.
