Kia returned to the Commercial Vehicle (CV) Show at the end of April at the NEC in Birmingham, with an expanded display of its innovative PV5 electric van range, following the successful unveiling of the PV5 in 2025. Marking several European debuts, Kia presented a diverse line-up of vehicles and specialist conversions designed to support a wide range of industries and operational needs.

The Kia stand attracted strong customer engagement throughout the event, while positive press reviews reinforced growing interest in Kia’s Purpose-Built Vehicle (PBV) strategy and its latest electric commercial vehicle solutions.

  • Among the vehicles on display were:

    • PV5 Cargo L1/H1
    • PV5 Cargo L2/H1
    • PV5 Cargo L2/H2
    • PV5 Chassis converted to a tipper
    • PV5 Cargo converted to a refrigerated van

    The showcase also marked the first appearance of Kia’s Approved Converter network at the CV Show, highlighting how the flexible PV5 platform can be adapted for specialist business applications. Developed in collaboration with Kia’s PBV Approved Converters, the displayed models demonstrated practical solutions for logistics, delivery operations, specialist trades, and temperature-controlled transport.

    A key highlight of the event was the debut of the PV5 Fridge conversion, alongside the PV5 Tipper and larger Cargo variants, giving visitors a closer look at how electric vans can meet the everyday demands of modern businesses.

    The expanded PV5 range underlines Kia’s commitment to delivering practical, purpose-built electric mobility solutions that support real business requirements while helping operators transition towards zero-emission transport.

    Interest in the Kia PV5 range continues to grow, with businesses recognising the versatility and capability of Kia’s electric van platform across multiple sectors.
