Vans and light commercial vehicles will be a major highlight at this year’s CV Show in April.

The organisers have confirmed that Citroën, Fiat, Ford, Isuzu, Iveco, LDV, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Toyota and Volkswagen will all have a major presence at the NEC in April.

One of the biggest names to make a comeback to the show this year will be Volkswagen, which will be using the show to exhibit its latest Transporter and Caddy models.

Volkswagen head of marketing Kirsten Stagg said: “It’s great timing for us to consolidate the launches of the new Caddy and Transporter, as well as to meet customers and provide opportunities for our teams and those from our dedicated Van Centre network to build relationships.”

Also returning this year is Toyota, which is appearing at the show for the first time since 2008.

Gareth Matthews, Toyota LCV manager, said: “The venue will provide us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how we plan to increase Toyota presence and product line-up in the light commercial vehicle market.”

Other show highlights will be Mitsubishi, showcasing its atest L200 pick-up, and the long anticipated return of the LDV name, with the new Chinese-built V80 panel van expected to make its UK debut.

The 2016 CV Show will also feature racking and storage product ranges for LCVs from the likes of Bott, Bri-Stor, Rhino, Sortimo, System Edstrom, Tevo, along with a range of goods from smaller suppliers designed to making a van fit for a specific job much easier.

The CV Show director Rob Skelton said: “After an amazing 2015, which saw a record number of vans and light commercial vehicles being registered, it’s clear that vans and LCVs will be a major focus of this year’s show.”

The CV Show 2016, which is free to attend, takes place in Halls 3a, 4 & 5 at the NEC in Birmingham from 26-28 April.
