BYD confirms new LCV for 2026 Commercial Vehicle Show

BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles (fully electric and plug-in hybrid), will be showcasing its latest LCV at the 2026 CV Show at the NEC, Birmingham, from 21st to 23rd April 2026.

Building upon the success of its passenger vehicles – in Q1 2026, BYD recorded 21,337 registrations, earning a new car market share of 3.98% – BYD now enters the light commercial vehicle segment.

The first model to commence BYD commercial sales in the UK will be the DOLPHIN Cargo e-Van, a van conversion of the popular DOLPHIN electric hatchback. Alongside its combined WLTP range of 265 miles, it also provides over 1,000 litres of loadspace, which has been created by removing the DOLPHIN’s rear seats; these have been replaced by a solid bulkhead and a re-engineered rear floor.

Mediafleet, a specialist in the supply of vehicle graphics to the commercial fleet industry, will be showcasing the vehicle on stand 5C40, accompanied by BYD Corporate fleet representatives. The DOLPHIN CARGO e-Van on display features an innovative lightweight racking solution by Modul-System.

The Commercial Vehicle Show is the UK’s premier event for road freight, transport, distribution and logistics. In 2026, the show has shifted its focus towards establishing itself as the definitive platform for driving decarbonisation, embracing digital transformation, and powering the shift to net zero.

Full details of the DOLPHIN Cargo e-Van, including price and specification will be announced shortly.
