Commercial Bodybuilder Executive Meeting
In February 2026, the VBRA and Aerodyne, Peterborough was delighted to host the Commercial Bodybuilder Executive Meeting at the Aerodyne Technology Centre. The event brought together senior leaders from across the commercial vehicle and bodybuilding sector, creating a valuable forum for focused discussion around key industry challenges.
Alongside the formal agenda, Aerodyne shared insights into several critical areas, including rigid and 3.5T aerodynamics, truck and trailer aerodynamics, fuel efficiency in real-world operations, and the evolving regulatory landscape shaping the sector’s future.

Meeting Summary
A clear, shared ambition emerged throughout the meeting: to support innovation, navigate regulatory change, and drive efficiency and sustainability across commercial vehicles. As aerodynamic performance and operational efficiency continue to become increasingly business-critical, collaboration between bodybuilders, suppliers, and trade associations has never been more important.
We extend our thanks to Tom Pearson, Operations Director for CPD, and the wider VBRA executive team. The discussions were insightful, productive, and highly valuable for all involved.
