Renault, a producer of several vehicles available for van contract hire, has hailed the success of the recent Commercial Vehicle Operators S how.
The exhibition, which featured over 300 exhibitors, finished at the NEC in Birmingham earlier this month.
Mark Waller, Renault UK's brand communications manager, said he was "pleasantly surprised" by the number of customer enquiries the company had received, despite the tough economic climate.
"The new Kangoo Van Maxi and Master models have obviously been good draws to our stand and overall we're expecting interest in all the new models to be high in the coming months after the show," he said.
Geoff Dunning, chief executive of the Road Haulage Association, also praised the show's turnout, saying it was symbol of the industry's importance to the economy.
"I am delighted that last week proved, without a shadow of doubt, that there is still the need and the enthusiasm to showcase transport and logistics," he said.
In 2009, organisers were forced to cancel the show as manufacturers sought to cut expenses during the recession.
