CV SHOW SPECIAL:

The EVC Citysprint makes a major impact at the CV Show

Micro logistics is no longer a future concept - it is happening now. Visitors to the stand were particularly impressed by: • Ultra-low running costs • Compact urban-friendly dimensions • Sustainability and compliance advantages • Ability to charge from standard infrastructure The event represented another major milestone following the successful Guildhall launch in March. • Fully electric drivetrain • Low cost of ownership

The Electric Van Company Ltd enjoyed a hugely successful appearance at the 2026 Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC Birmingham, with the EVC Citysprint attracting exceptional attention from operators, fleet managers, councils, utilities, and logistics providers from across the United Kingdom. Over the course of the exhibition, the EVC stand welcomed significant visitor traffic, generating literally hundreds of sales enquiries and opening discussions with businesses looking to reduce operating costs, improve sustainability, and modernise their urban delivery operations. The response to the Citysprint confirmed what many within the industry are now recognising:

HUGE INDUSTRY INTEREST STRONG DEMAND FROM ACROSS MULTIPLE SECTORS The CV Show demonstrated the growing appetite for practical, cost-effective electric commercial vehicles designed specifically for urban and last-mile delivery.

The CV Show demonstrated the growing appetite for practical, cost-effective electric commercial vehicles designed specifically for urban and last-mile delivery. Throughout the event, the EVC team held meetings and discussions with representatives from: • Local authorities and councils • National fleet operators • Utility providers • Leisure industry operators • Facilities management companies • Urban delivery businesses • Environmental and sustainability groups

One of the strongest themes emerging from the exhibition was the increasing pressure organisations are facing to: • Reduce fleet emissions • Lower operational costs • Improve urban accessibility • Future-proof fleet operations against legislation and rising fuel prices The EVC Citysprint generated particularly strong interest due to its unique positioning within the market - sitting between a traditional van and a compact urban logistics solution.

KEY TALKING POINTS AT THE SHOW

Cost Savings Fleet operators were highly receptive to the operational savings available compared with traditional diesel vans.

Charging Simplicity The ability to charge using standard infrastructure was repeatedly highlighted as a major commercial advantage.

Urban Sustainability The Citysprint’s electric platform and compact footprint strongly aligned with clean air and sustainability strategies.

Practicality Operators praised the vehicle’s practicality for dense urban environments and last-mile operations.

The future of micro logistics, why the industry is shifting Across Europe and Asia, micro logistics vehicles are becoming an increasingly important part of urban transport systems. The UK market is now beginning to rapidly follow this trend. The Commercial Vehicle Show highlighted several major industry realities: • Fuel prices remain unpredictable • Cities continue introducing restrictions on larger vehicles • Fleet operators are under growing pressure to decarbonise • Delivery demand continues to increase • Businesses require lower-cost operational models “

” The EVC Citysprint is specifically designed to address these challenges.
