GreenFleet Awards 2016 shortlist announced
The official shortlist for the GreenFleet Awards 2016 has now been confirmed, recognising the best fleet operators, suppliers and manufacturers that are making great progress in minimising the environmental impacts of their vehicles.
The Awards returns to Edgbaston Cricket Stadium on 17 November, where the winners of each category will be announced at the glittering ceremony presented by comedian Dominic Holland.
A new category for 2016 is ‘Car Club of the Year’, recognising the growing relevance of car clubs across the UK and their role in helping to increase efficiency and reduce road emissions. City Car Club, Co-Wheels, E-Car Club and Zip Car have all been recognised and will be in with a chance of claiming the Award.
‘Electric Vehicle of the Year’ is likely to be hotly contested, with BMW, Nissan, Mahindra, Kia and Renault all producing innovative electro-mobility solutions to fulfil a broad range of driver needs.
The past year has also seen an increased demand for efficient light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Fiat Professional, Nissan and Renault are all in the running to take the title of ‘LCV Manufacturer of the Year’.
