The second North American Commercial Vehicle Show promises to include all major Class 8 truck manufacturers for the 2019 show, including Peterbilt and Kenworth for the first time. Freightliner, Western Star, Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks, Navistar, and Hino all will return to the biennual show launched in 2017, displaying and launching new products on the NACV show floor.

The second NACV show is set for Oct. 28-31, 2019, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The show is growing and will cover 530,000 square feet of exhibition space, up from 370,000 square feet, and is expanding into a second building. Organizers expect to host more than 500 exhibitors, up from 439 in 2017. More than 15,000 fleet management attendees are expected to visit the show in 2019, more than double the number of attendees at the inaugural event.
