What Happened
Opel will present a range of commercial vehicles at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover from September 14 to 20. The models will be on show at the joint Stellantis Pro One booth C41 in hall 13 at Hanover Messe. The line-up spans a small all-electric city vehicle to large vans, covering nearly every commercial application. Four vehicles will be displayed, representing Opel's offering for transport, retail, and commercial use.
- Movano crew cab: up to 17 m³ load capacity, up to 2-tonne payload, and space for up to 7 people.
- Vivaro flatbed: open load area accessible from three sides; first time available with the 110 kW (150 hp) 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox.
- Combo Tech: compact panel van with car-like features including Intelli-Lux Matrix lighting, comfort driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and Keyless Entry&Go; up to 3.8 m³ load volume, 3.09 m load compartment length, payload up to almost 650 kg, rising to 780 kg in the all-electric version.
- Rocks with Kargo Kit: 2.41 m long and 1.39 m wide (excluding mirrors); electric range up to 75 km; top speed 45 km/h; drivers aged 15 and over in Germany; Kargo Kit lets goods travel on the passenger side out of sight.
For its light commercial vehicles, Opel focuses on a variety of powertrain options. Depending on needs, customers can choose from efficient internal combustion engines to all-electric models. This, the brand says, ensures a drive solution tailored to everyday working life and driving performance. The all-electric Rocks, for example, is aimed at delivery services thanks to its compact size and up to 75 km of range.

Exhibition open to trade visitors and the general public daily from 9:00 to 18:00 CEST.

Why this matters
The showcase shows how Opel tailors its line-up to commercial customers, from a compact electric city vehicle to large vans, with both combustion and all-electric powertrains on offer. Transport, retail, and trade buyers can compare in one place solutions such as the Movano’s up-to-2-tonne payload or the Rocks’ 75-km electric range.
