Organisers of the 2014 Commercial Vehicle Show held at the NEC from April 29 – May 1 have said that, despite being held on the same dates and venue as Multimodal 2014, the events are not to merge.

A spokesperson said: “This is essentially a ‘one off'. Despite both shows being held at the NEC, each will continue to have its own identity and ticket registration. The CV Show will occupy Halls 3a, 4 and 5 while Multimodal will be in Halls 6-8, a 10-15 minute walk away across the Skywalk.

“There will be no combined events, no joint marketing programmes; even the opening hours will be different. So, for those who have assumed that two shows at the same time in the same place mean a merger of the two events, please be aware this is certainly not the case.”
