Truck manufacturers confirm big CV Show attendance01 February 2011

DAF Trucks, MAN Truck and Bus UK, Mercedes-Benz UK and Hino will all be at the CV Show in April, alongside Iveco, which is appearing under the banner of West Midlands dealership Guest Trucks.

"This is tremendous news," comments Geoff Dunning, CEO of the RHA (Road Haulage Association). "The haulage industry has always been an accurate barometer for the economy and the decision to exhibit at this year's show is a positive development in difficult times."

"MAN Truck and Bus UK … will be using the CV Show to launch a number of new initiatives, one of which will focus on providing operators with an innovative total cost of ownership package utilising MAN's EcoStyle fleet management system," says MAN CEO Des Evans.

Meanwhile, DAF Trucks managing director Ray Ashworth states: "We have already said that we can see signs of the long-awaited recovery in the UK truck market, so it is wholly appropriate, given our central position in the business, that we commit ourselves to the CV Show. We're looking forward to welcoming all of our customers at what is a core date in the truck industry's calendar."

And Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicles managing director Ian Jones adds: "We plan to return to the 2011 CV Show with a full range of products and services. Our decision to attend is part of an ongoing commitment to meeting our customers and contacts around the country."

"Most customers I have spoken to have greatly missed a manufacturer-supported CV Show," says Ken Grindrod, speaking on behalf of the UK Hino dealers. "Hino's presence at the 2011 show is a statement of its commitment to the UK truck market."

The CV Show runs from 12 to 14 April at the NEC. For information, call the organisers on +44 (0) 1634 261262 or e-mail enquiries@cvshow.com.
