21st June 2026
City Auction Group is pleased to announce a special motor trade-only event in partnership with Arval BNP Paribas Group, taking place at the Peterborough Powerhouse on Thursday 25th June.
The exclusive afternoon will focus on the next generation of automotive brands entering and expanding within the UK market, giving motor trade buyers the opportunity to see, learn about and engage with a growing selection of EV and hybrid vehicles from some of the industry’s most talked-about manufacturers.
With brands such as BYD, Omoda, Jaecoo, Polestar, Geely, Changan and MG continuing to gain momentum, the event is designed to help dealers better understand the changing market, shifting customer demand and the opportunities these vehicles present for retail stock.
The day will include an Auto Trader market insights presentation, offering valuable data and perspective on the evolving EV and hybrid landscape, followed by a dedicated Arval BNP Paribas Group auction in the Purple Lane. Attendees will also have the opportunity to test drive selected vehicles from some of the latest new entrants to the market.
This event reflects City Auction Group’s ongoing commitment to supporting the motor trade with access to quality stock, trusted vendor partnerships and market insight that helps buyers stay ahead.
Michael Tomalin, CEO of City Auction Group, said: “The UK vehicle market is moving quickly, with new brands, new technology and new customer expectations shaping buyer demand. This event gives the trade a valuable opportunity to get closer to the vehicles, understand the market and purchase quality stock direct from Arval BNP Paribas Group.”
