Fleet Truck of the Year
This Award is for the 44-tonne tractor unit that offers the best overall package for fleet operators. It should be versatile enough to cover a broad range of fleet operations from tramping to urban distribution and from tankers to doubledeck curtainsiders.
Manufacturers can select which truck model to present, but it must be a 6x2 or 4x2 tractor unit with up to 500hp. It can use any type of fuel. It must be a model which is currently available for UK operators to purchase, so no obsolete or prototype vehicles.
Judges will make their selection based on:
- Fuel economy
- Refuelling infrastructure (for non-diesel drive trains)
- Driver satisfaction
- Value for money including RVs
- Lead times
- Safety including compliance with the DVS
- Environmental impact
- Specification options
- Dealer support
- Breakdown response
- Unladen weight
- R&M and finance options
- Total cost of ownership (based on 150,000kms a year over three years)
Manufacturers may be asked to make a 15-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute Q&A either in person or online to a panel of operators on their candidate vehicle.
