The Truck and Fleet Awards 2023 will take place this Wednesday at the Ritz Carlton JBR hotel, after the event was delayed due to the poor weather last week.
The list of nominees for the Truck and Fleet Awards 2023 were recently released after thousand of votes were cast in the products and distributors awards, and head of content Stephen White said he was delighted to confirm that the event will go ahead as planned.
“Anyone that saw the heavy rain in Dubai last Wednesday would agree that we took the right call to move the event back a week,” commented White. “The latest forecast is looking good, and I can’t wait to join everyone at a gala night for the commercial vehicle and fleet sectors on Wednesday evening.”
Close to 10,000 votes were received by the time voting was closed on the 14th January, with several of the shortlisted companies coming from across the GCC.
The nominees for the prestigious Fleet of the Year Award, which was assessed by a team of industry expert judges, are also now ready to be named.
A special award for Outstanding Contribution to Transportation will also be handed to its recipient on the night.
“I am delighted to be able to share the nominees after weeks of planning for these awards. This was the second year for the vote and it has easily surpassed our expectations,” added Stephen White. “There is a lot of hard work that goes on behind the scene when holding a vote like this, but it is genuinely excited to see the buzz this creates. Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take part, including the insight from our judging panel.”
