By Categories: Commercial NewsPublished On: Thursday 27 March 2025

The 2025 Commercial Vehicle Show will take place from 29 April to 1 May at the NEC Birmingham.

Stand: 5C24

The Institute of Road Transport Engineers (IRTE) will be at the NEC, showcasing key initiatives and career development support for engineers.

A major highlight will be the official launch of the Maintenance Provision Rating Scheme (MPRS) following a successful pilot program. MPRS is an independent recognition created by the industry for the industry with support from industry bodies, DVSA and the Office of Traffic Commissioners. Aimed at workshops and maintenance facilities of all sizes, MPRS is a single rating scheme that gauges performance of current facilities and workforce quality through comprehensive audits and collective evidence.

IRTE will also be promoting expanded mentoring programs, connecting engineers with experienced mentors to support professional registration (EngTech, IEng, CEng) and career transitions.
