New Ford Transit Vans
Due to go on sale next year, the updated Ford Transit van made its first public appearance at the CV Show, boasting increased payload, more efficient engines and plenty of technology. This model was joined by the Ford Transit Connect Sport and the Ford Transit Custom PHEV.
New Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van
Claiming a lot of the spotlight, Mercedes-Benz exhibited its self-driving, zero-emissions concept, the Vision Urbanetic. The new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter was also a highlight from the manufacturer.

Nissan Concept
As always, Nissan had a substantial presence at the IAA Commercial Vehicles Show, showing off its Navara Dark Sky concept, designed to transport a mobile astronomy observatory. This exciting vehicle was joined by the more down-to-Earth Navara N-Guard.
Renault Concept
Perhaps the wackiest vehicle on display at the show was the Renault EZ-Pro concept, a self-driving delivery van with a spaceship-like appearance.
Volkswagen Vans
Volkswagen had plenty to offer at the event, from the Crafter HyMotion to an electric tricycle! The ID Buzz Cargo concept stole the show, combining the retro aesthetics of the classic VW Minivan with highly-advanced, all-electric technology. The electric versions of the Volkswagen Transporter and Caddy, which are set to be the next models on sale from the manufacturer, were also there.
