The winners of the Truck and Fleet Awards 2025 were announced last week during a glitzy, beachfront ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton JBR hotel in Dubai, celebrating the standout performers in fleet services, mobility solutions, and commercial vehicles across the Middle East.
Over the past two months, Truck and Fleet Middle East magazine engaged industry professionals from the construction, transport, and logistics sectors to assess the best in the business. This year also saw an expanded number of categories dedicated to the mobility sector.
Many of those were included in the region-wide vote decided by the readers of Truck and Fleet ME and fleet professionals. However, a dedicated judging panel was assembled to determine the winners in most categories, including the much-anticipated Middle East Truck of the Year award.
Stephen White, Head of Content at Truck and Fleet Middle East, reflected on the significance of this year’s winners: “This year feels like a crucial moment for the T&L, mobility, and commercial vehicle sectors.”
The event highlighted the growing influence of electrification, sustainability, and fleet innovation in the region.
“The awards always put a spotlight on the region’s achievements, but I believe this year’s winners demonstrate a real shift, especially with new energy vehicles (NEVs) gaining ground and innovation in fleet management at an all-time high. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the winners and nominees who are shaping the future of mobility, and a massive thank you to our judging panel which dedicated their time and expertise.”
