The Commercial Vehicle Show 2025 will welcome the return of The EV Café Village to guide fleet operators on the latest electric trucks and vans.

The EV Café Village will simplify EV adoption with hands-on demonstrations, interactive exhibits and access to industry experts

Expanded for next year’s event, which runs from 29 April to 1 May, The EV Café Village simplifies EV adoption for road transport operators with hands-on demonstrations, interactive exhibits and direct access to industry experts.

As part of the village, The EV Café Stage will host a free-to-attend conference, delivering expert talks and valuable industry insights.

Visitors can explore key topics such as transitioning to zero-emission vehicles, successfully adopting an EV fleet, the Zero Emission Van Plan, available support for the transition, EV charging solutions, and insights into battery technology and lifespan. This comprehensive programme will empower businesses to embrace electric transformation with confidence.

The hub illustrates how electric commercial vehicles, clean energy and accessible charging solutions can seamlessly integrate into fleet operations – removing barriers and building confidence in the transition to net zero.

More than 10,000 visitors attended last year’s CV Show – a third of which were company directors or executive managers – and The EV Café Village was in high demand among businesses seeking the latest advice and insight on how EVs can seamlessly merge with their fleet operations.

The hub is just one of the highlights of the 2025 edition of the CV Show, owned and run by SMMT and RHA. The event will include new features, dedicated zones, enhanced content, and a new floorplan with more than 300 leading brands and businesses.

Mike Costain, event director, said: “The Commercial Vehicle Show is the place where business gets done, so we are delighted to join forces with The EV Café Village as we kickstart a bold new journey – providing businesses fleets with the advice and expertise they need to make fleet decarbonisation a practical, commercial success.”
