Your first look at new car brands at Europe's largest fleet expo

Visitors to Fleet & Mobility Live 2026 will be able get a first look at models from new UK manufacturer brands Denza and Lepas as well as Mitsubishi, which returned to the UK market earlier this year after a five-year hiatus.  

Fleet managers attending Fleet & Mobility Live will be able to explore the latest vehicles on the road from a record number of manufacturer brands represented at this year’s two-day event. Hosted by Fleet News at the NEC Birmingham on October 6-7, bookings are now open to secure your place for the event.

A full list of the vehicles to be showcased will be announced closer to the event.

Denza, a premium manufacturer brand that’s part of the BYD Group will make its Fleet & Mobility Live debut following its European launch earlier this year.

Claudio De Freitas, head of UK fleet sales at Denza, said: “Denza is an important next step in the evolution of BYD Group in the UK fleet market. We have already demonstrated that fleet customers are increasingly open to new brands with the right combination of technology, efficiency, quality and value. Denza takes that a step further, bringing premium design, advanced technology and electrified powertrains into segments where fleet customers have traditionally had a much narrower choice.

“For us, Denza isn’t simply about adding another brand to the market. It’s about giving businesses and company car drivers access to a genuinely compelling premium alternative, while helping fleets continue their transition to lower-emission vehicles without compromising on quality, comfort or technology. We’re very excited to introduce Denza to the UK fleet community and believe it has a significant role to play in the future of premium fleet mobility.”

Lepas, a premium brand under the Chery Group will also be making its Fleet & Mobility Live debut this year. The brand’s first model, the L8 PHEV, will be available to order from September.

Tim Whitworth, national leasing manager at Lepas, said: “I’m delighted that Lepas is launching in the UK in time for us to be at Fleet & Mobility Live. We have ambitious plans for rapid growth in the UK, and fleet will play a major role in that.

“Lepas is a new-energy mobility brand, so every model will be either fully electric or plug-in hybrid. That makes us a strong choice for fleet operators and company car drivers looking for efficient, tax-friendly vehicles. Using the new L8 PHEV as an example, it’s a large D-segment SUV, but its plug-in hybrid system delivers up to 56 miles of electric range, helping it qualify for the new 10% BiK bracket.

“By the end of 2027, we plan to offer 10 electrified models across the A to E segments, giving us a broad range of vehicles for different fleet requirements. We’re also building a dedicated fleet team to ensure customers receive the highest standards of support at every stage, from first enquiry through to long-term ownership.”

Mitsubishi will be displaying at Fleet & Mobility Live for the first time since its reintroduction to the UK earlier this year, having previously left the market in 2021. The Japanese brand was a pioneer for plug-in hybrid technology and its Outlander proved to be a popular pick for fleets.

The brand now offers two models, the L200 pickup truck (complete with two-seat commercial variant) and the Outlander PHEV SUV.

Toby Marshall, managing director of Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, said: “We’re very pleased to present the all-new Mitsubishi L200 Series 7 pickup at Fleet & Mobility Live. Together with the new Outlander PHEV, the two models have been met with significant enthusiasm since their UK launch earlier this year, and we are supporting fleet buyers and operators through both our new sales dealer network and our central operations.

“Both new products offer a strong proposition for the fleet market. The L200 pick-up delivers a rugged yet refined workhorse with over one-tonne payload and 3,500 kg towing capability. Trim levels include commercial vehicle variants of both Titan and Barbarian, supporting the L200’s versatility across a broad range of commercial and rural environments. The Barbarian also features Mitsubishi’s shift-on-the-fly Super Select II system and allows four-wheel drive towing even on tarmac. The Outlander PHEV is a fleet favourite for its low emissions and BiK benefits, as well as an all-rounder daily drive with off-road capabilities.

“Mitsubishi Motors in the UK is delighted to be at Fleet & Mobility Live: it’s the ideal environment in which to spend valued time with corporate clients, who appreciate the opportunity to explore how the new Mitsubishi product range fits their fleet requirements.”

These are just a handful of the manufacturer brands being displayed at Fleet & Mobility Live 2026. A full list of manufacturers and further details about their exhibitions is available for use by visiting fleet professional when planning their time at the event.
