Fleet & Mobility Live 2026 gets underway tomorrow, bringing fleet professionals, vehicle manufacturers and mobility specialists together at the NEC in Birmingham for two days of industry insight, networking and the latest fleet solutions.
Taking place on 6 and 7 October 2026, the event is expected to attract more than 2,000 fleet decision-makers from across the UK.
For businesses responsible for cars, vans or wider fleet operations, the event provides an opportunity to see how the sector is changing and explore some of the latest vehicles, technologies and services available to businesses.
Two Days Focused On The Future Of Fleets
Fleet & Mobility Live has become an important event in the UK fleet calendar, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, fleet specialists and businesses under one roof.
This year’s event will feature vehicles from more than 30 automotive manufacturers, covering both passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
That gives fleet operators the chance to compare different models and technologies in one location, while also speaking directly with manufacturers and other businesses involved in fleet management.
For companies reviewing their fleets, this can be particularly useful at a time when managing a fleet is becoming increasingly complex.
Electrification, running costs, taxation, charging infrastructure, driver safety, vehicle availability and changing regulations are all increasingly important when making fleet decisions.
Advice On The Issues Affecting Business Fleets
As well as vehicles and products, Fleet & Mobility Live will feature a programme of discussions, presentations, panel sessions and Q&As covering some of the major issues currently affecting fleet operators.
Topics being explored include:
- Fleet electrification
- Salary sacrifice
- Driver management
- Risk management
- Fleet and mobility strategy
- New vehicle technology
- Industry developments and best practice
This makes the event more than simply an opportunity to look at new vehicles.
For fleet managers and business owners, it is also a chance to consider how changes across the wider automotive industry could affect their own fleets over the coming months and years.
A Chance To Compare Cars, Vans And Fleet Solutions
Choosing vehicles for a business fleet can involve considerably more than comparing purchase prices or monthly finance costs.
Different businesses have different requirements, particularly when it comes to commercial vehicles.
Payload, load space, body style, range, charging requirements, operating costs and driver suitability can all influence whether a vehicle is appropriate for a particular business.
Fleet & Mobility Live provides an opportunity to see a broad selection of vehicles alongside the technology and services designed to support them.
Visitors can also speak with manufacturers and suppliers directly, making it easier to ask questions about products and solutions that could potentially be relevant to their own operations.
Networking With The Fleet Industry
Networking is another major part of the event, with dedicated areas available for meetings and conversations between fleet professionals, manufacturers and suppliers.
The event’s Fleet News Hub will also provide a central location for podcast interviews, networking and information about the wider Fleet News programme.
For businesses operating fleets, these opportunities can be just as valuable as the vehicles and technology on display.
Speaking with people working across different areas of the industry can provide alternative perspectives on common fleet challenges and highlight approaches that businesses may not have previously considered.
What Could Fleet Operators Take Away From The Event?
The timing of Fleet & Mobility Live is particularly relevant for businesses reviewing their fleet strategies.
The UK fleet market continues to change rapidly, with businesses having to balance operational requirements against new technologies, environmental targets, taxation and the increasing availability of electric vehicles.
For some businesses, switching to electric vehicles may now be a realistic option for certain drivers or applications.
For others, petrol, diesel, hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicles may still provide the most appropriate solution depending on how vehicles are used.
There is therefore no single approach that will work for every business.
Events such as Fleet & Mobility Live can help fleet decision-makers understand the options available and consider where different technologies could fit within their own operations.
