The shortlist for Truck and Fleet Awards 2024 has been revealed ahead of the event which will take place this Tuesday at the Ritz Carlton JBR hotel in Dubai
Over the last two months, Truck and Fleet Middle East magazine has been asking members of the construction, mobility and transport and logistics sectors to rate the best vehicles in the market.
The list of finalists for the Truck and Fleet Awards 2024 arrives after 9,000 (8,883!) individual votes were cast across the categories.
A special judging panel has also been assembled to decide the prestigious Middle East Truck of the Year award. Their decision will be revealed at the climax of what is expected to be an exciting evening for all the nominated finalists.
Head of content Stephen White said he was delighted with the quality of the final shortlist.
“This year could be a watershed moment for those of us involved in the T&L, mobility and commercial vehicles sectors. These awards always reveal a lot about where we are heading in terms of expertise in the region, but I think this year we could also learn where we are heading in terms of technology too as electric vehicles become serious contenders in the market.”
He added: “I think we have a genuinely fantastic array of fleets, vehicles and people already listed this year. And I congratulate all the nominees for getting into the final shortlist.”
