Gray & Adams, a leading manufacturer of temperature-controlled and specialist vehicles, successfully exhibited at the Road Transport Expo (RTX) 2026, where the company welcomed operators, fleet managers and industry partners to explore its latest trailer innovations designed to support the evolving needs of modern distribution. 

Exhibiting from stand O15 throughout the three-day event, Gray & Adams showcased three distinct vehicle builds, each demonstrating the company’s commitment to efficiency, sustainability and safety across both urban and long-haul transport operations. 

Demonstrating innovation in temperature-controlled transport 

Among the vehicles on display was a Gray & Adams double deck demonstrator trailer, highlighting the company’s expertise in maximising load capacity while maintaining operational efficiency. Designed for high-volume distribution operations, the double deck solution attracted significant interest from visitors looking to increase productivity by optimising payload per journey. 

Also featured was the Marks & Spencer specification rigid vehicle, built to the retailer’s latest operational requirements and reflecting the long-standing partnership between the two organisations. 

The fully liveried vehicle showcased a range of advanced features designed to support efficient and sustainable multi-drop operations, including: 

  • A retractable tail lift for enhanced operational flexibility 
  • An electric transport refrigeration unit, supporting reduced emissions and quieter operation 
  • A suite of eco-friendly technologies aligned with sustainability goals 
  • Enhanced safety features, including cycle-safe sideguards and additional reversing lamps 
  • An air curtain system designed to maintain temperature integrity during frequent door openings in multi-drop delivery environments 

Completing the display was the Blakemore urban trailer, developed specifically for city distribution operations and demonstrating how vehicle design continues to evolve to meet the challenges associated with urban logistics. 

Supporting the future of logistics 

The exhibition provided an opportunity for Gray & Adams to discuss the key challenges facing the transport and logistics sector, including improving operational efficiency, meeting sustainability targets and adapting to growing urban distribution demands. 

Throughout the event, the Gray & Adams team engaged with a wide range of customers and industry professionals, sharing insight into how tailored vehicle solutions can help operators improve performance while meeting increasingly demanding operational requirements. 

Strong engagement at RTX 2026 

RTX 2026 once again proved to be a valuable platform for connecting with the wider transport industry and showcasing the latest developments in temperature-controlled transport. 

Gray & Adams would like to thank everyone who visited the stand during the exhibition and looks forward to continuing conversations with customers and partners as the industry works towards a more efficient and sustainable future.
