Planning notes
Vehicle exhibits change the logistics. Moving vehicles into a hall involves timed access and route planning, so ask the organiser for the vehicle exhibit procedures before you book space. At the NEC, deliveries to the rear of the halls are booked through the venue’s Voyage Control system.
Visitors include operators of very different sizes. Qualify fleet size and the decision-maker early, and follow up with figures that matter to that operator, such as whole-life cost or uptime. See following up exhibition leads.
