2025

Truck & Fleet Awards

The Truck and Fleet Awards 2025 cover a wide range of categories, each designed to recognise excellence across different facets of the industry.

We Have Changed the Nominations and Voting Process

We are delighted to confirm that we are expanding both the nominated and judged awards and open-vote award categories this year.

We now have more judged awards than ever before, giving manufacturers, distributors and service providers the opportunity to present their nomination to a specially appointed judges panel across a huge selection of categories. This will ensure your winning award is selected by a panel of experts – and when you go on stage to pick it up, you’ve earned the right to celebrate your technical or professional expertise.

Our open-vote has proven hugely popular with the market, and we can’t wait to see what the Middle East thinks is its favourite truck for the market with the Hottest Truck of the Year Award. We have added new categories too, to make sure the Awards continues to reflect changes in the transportation and mobility sectors.

Time to nominate and upload 

Now is the time to nominate!

The 2025 Awards are now open for nominations, inviting companies and individuals to submit their entries across various categories. Whether you’re a fleet operator, vehicle manufacturer, distributor, or dealer, this is your opportunity to showcase your innovations, achievements, and contributions to the industry.

If you would like to submit a nomination for open-vote categories, you have until 16th December, 2024, to submit your nomination. Voting will close on 16th January 2025, with all submissions subject to verification. To ensure fairness, votes cast by employees or associates of nominees will not be counted.

If you are entering our judged categories, submitting your nomination is straightforward; simply upload your entry with accompanying images and detailed information, including technical specifications, by 13th January 2025. 

Our biggest campaign yet
Whether you are participating in our region-wide vote, the judged categories – or both! – you will be taking part in a huge region-wide campaign. We are planning our biggest social media campaign spanning all the major platforms, so a nomination is a perfect opportunity to tell the market about your success stories, products and services.

Good luck to all the participants, and we look forward to hosting you when the winners will be announced during the awards ceremony on 30th January 2025.
