As we move towards 2026, London Lorry Courier is preparing for one of our biggest years yet. Building on our existing strengths in Haulage, London Lorry Transport and London Van Courier, we are expanding our fleet, developing new specialist services and strengthening our nationwide and European coverage. This blog outlines the key services we aim to provide throughout 2026 — all designed to give our customers greater flexibility, faster response times and even more reliable transport options.
Expanding Our Core Haulage & Lorry Transport Services
Our core services, including General Haulage and Same day HGV delivery, remain the backbone of what we do. In 2026, we intend to grow the availability of our 18 Tonne Lorry Transport fleet, ensuring more same-day and overnight availability for customers across London, the Home Counties and the UK.
We also plan to expand our 7.5 Tonne Lorry Transport (Up to 10 Pallets) capacity, particularly for businesses operating in areas with restricted access or narrow loading bays. These vehicles are ideal for sectors such as hospitality, retail, film production and construction.
As always, every vehicle will remain fully compliant with the London DVS Compliant Lorry Transport requirements, ensuring safe operation within Greater London and smoother access across key boroughs.
Growing Our London Coverage Zones
Our existing location-based services — such as Rent a Lorry with a Driver in East London, Rent a Lorry with a driver in West London, Rent a Lorry with a Driver in North London and Rent a Lorry With Driver in South London — continue to grow in demand. In 2026, we will increase same-day coverage across these zones, enabling even faster call-outs and improved response times for urgent collections.
We’ve also launched our new M25 / Greater London Haulage service, giving customers a dedicated team specialising in haulage movements around the M25 corridor, connecting major distribution hubs, ports, airports and industrial estates.
European Transport: Faster, Smarter & More Flexible
Cross-border work will continue to expand, especially for our Europe Van Transport (from London) and Same Day Urgent European Van Transport services. Increasing demand from manufacturing, retail, events and engineering firms means that 2026 will see even more dedicated vans on the road heading to France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy.
We also aim to grow our new categories of heavy European transport, including:
European customers will especially benefit from additional support with customs paperwork, import/export documentation and specialist load planning through our strengthened International Transport and Travel services.
New Specialist Transport Services for 2026
In addition to our established offerings, 2026 will introduce several new specialist transport services designed to support key industries across the UK and Europe.
1. Specialist Construction Logistics
With growing demand in the building sector, we are expanding our Construction & Building Materials Transport fleet to accommodate timber, steel, aggregates, roofing materials and site essentials. Larger vehicles, revised routing strategies and new safety lifting equipment will support this expansion.
2. Expanded Plant & Machinery Transport
Our Plant & Machinery Transport service will accommodate everything from generators and lifts to small excavators and heavy industrial equipment. 2026 will see the introduction of reinforced loading gear and improved lifting solutions for machinery with unusual dimensions or weight distribution.
3. Heavy Machinery Europe-Wide Transport
As part of our European expansion, our Heavy Machinery Transport service will include new support options such as escort vehicles, route surveys and additional oversized load planning for large cross-border consignments.
4. More Event & Production Services
Our popular Event Logistics By Lorry service is expanding with additional vehicles dedicated to exhibitions, TV/film work, live entertainment and festivals. We are also adding more drivers with event-site experience to assist with complex venue access requirements.
Improving Direct Delivery & Tailored Transport Options
We know that businesses increasingly need flexible, fast and customer-focused solutions, so in 2026 we’re increasing availability of:
We are also investing heavily in digital communications, ensuring customers receive real-time updates, improved tracking and faster confirmations across all haulage and courier services.
Fleet Growth & Driver Development
One of our key priorities for 2026 is expanding our Trucks & Vans In Our Fleet to ensure we always have the right vehicle available for your job. New additions will include more 18-tonne units, additional 7.5-tonners and further vans for high-volume European work.
We’re also continuing to invest in training and development for our Our Lorry Drivers, ensuring every member of our team is confident, compliant and capable of tackling London’s toughest transport environments.
Looking Forward to 2026
As London continues to evolve, so does the haulage and logistics industry. At London Lorry Courier, our goal for 2026 is simple: to deliver more choice, more capacity and more reliability than ever before. Whether it’s a local movement through North London, a last-minute shipment to Germany via our Europe Van Transport (from London), or a complex heavy load requiring Heavy Machinery Transport, we’re ready to support your business at every level.
