Ride & Drive

CV Show 2026 introduced Ride & Drive - giving visitors the chance to get behind the wheel of the latest commercial vehicles on a dedicated test track inside the NEC. From light commercial vehicles to HGVs, visitors experienced performance, comfort and innovation firsthand.

It was the first time CV Show brought hands-on vehicle testing to the show floor. Ride & Drive returns for CV Show 2027.
