Why enter
Recognition that travels further than a trophy
Credible benchmark
Entries are scored by independent engineers and operators against published criteria — no pay-to-win categories.
Buyer trust
A shortlist badge is a shortcut to credibility in fleet and government procurement.
Team morale
Public recognition for the engineers and operators who shipped the work.

How entries are judged
Four criteria, equally weighted
Real-world impact
Documented outcomes — vehicles on the road, emissions avoided, cost per km, uptime — not roadmaps or pilots.
Technical originality
How novel the engineering is, and how it stands up against readily available alternatives.
Scale & adoption
Units deployed, kilometres driven, sites live and the durability of the results.
Safety & responsibility
Testing, certification, materials sourcing and end-of-life handling built into the delivery.
