Commercial Vehicle Show 2020 cancelled

This year’s Commercial Vehicle Show has been cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement published on the show’s website today (19 March), the organisers said the decision to cancel the show, which was due to take place in Birmingham on 28-30 April, had been taken “with great regret”.

“In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic together with guidance issued by the government on Monday evening (16 March) that all mass gatherings are to be avoided, it is clear that the only realistic options for this year’s show were cancellation or postponing to a later date,” said the organisers.

“The option of postponing was given careful consideration given the importance of the show to the road transport sector; however it was felt there were too many unknown variables to make this option possible.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our exhibitors, registered visitors, show team and other stakeholders for their continued support during this most challenging and unprecedented of times.”
