EVM and Ilesbus are further major suppliers to confirm their places at Euro Bus Expo 2026, underlining strong demand for vehicle space ahead of the coach and bus industry’s leading trade show returning to the NEC Birmingham on 3-5 November 2026.
The floorplan includes 18 vehicle display sites, a 14% increase on 2024. With just over a year to go, most of those are already reserved – a faster rate of uptake than at the same stage in the previous event cycle.
Confirmed other names include BASE Coach Sales, Coachtraders, GM Coachwork, Irizar UK, London Hire, Minibus Options, PHVC Minibus Leading and Fleet Suppliers, Pelican Bus and Coach, TBC Conversions, VDL Bus Group and Wrightbus, with discussions well underway with several further suppliers.
The miniplus Zone, dedicated to exhibitors of small and mid-size vehicles, has grown after strong early demand saw the space initially allocated sell out. That further demonstrates the building momentum for Euro Bus Expo, says organiser Diversified UK and Europe.
Adds Event Director Helen Conway: “It is a fantastic position to be in so far ahead of the show. With rapid take-up of the increased vehicle space and a strong pipeline of vehicle suppliers interested in exhibiting, Euro Bus Expo continues to prove itself the UK’s established platform for the coach and bus industry.”
For operators, the buoyant manufacturer commitment means unrivalled access to a wide range of vehicles tailored to the domestic market, providing the chance to review options and plan fleet investment efficiently.
In addition to a strong vehicle exhibitor showing, Euro Bus Expo continues to provide a cost-effective way to explore technology, equipment and services from across the coach and bus sector, with free entry for all trade visitors.
Recently confirmed exhibitors include Drivetech, Elydium, Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, Hanover Displays, IntSol Recruiment, Luxvision, Microlise, Systrans (an Equans company), The Bridge Group, Vogelsang, and Wrightsure Insurance Services.
With over 200 suppliers expected in total, Euro Bus Expo 2026 is once again shaping up to be the must-attend event for the UK coach and bus industry.
Opportunities to exhibit are filling quickly. Those interested in taking part should act now to secure their place by contacting Commercial Manager Martin Laverton via email. Find out more information on Euro Bus Expo 2026 by visiting the event website.
