The chat was about the challenging energy transition scenario involving heavy-duty vehicles in Europe, but also about electrification, charging hubs and the incoming policy trends involving the future of transportation in Europe.

The only European awards addressed to sustainable commercial vehicles are divided into three categories: Tractor with GVW up to 44 ton, Distribution with GVW up to 26 ton and Van with GVW up to 3,5 ton.

The awards went to MAN TGX 18.520 in the Tractor category; DAF XD Electric in the Distribution category and to IVECO eDaily in the Van category. The awarding ceremony also hosted an interview with Felipe Rodriguez, Director of the ICCT Heavy-duty Vehicle Program and Deputy Manager of ICCT Europe.

The eighth edition of the trophy assigned by a specialized jury coordinated by the editorial staff of Vado e Torno and Sustainable Truck&Van will be broadcast on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 9:30 p.m. Streaming available here.

The three awards in the Tractor, Distribution, and Van categories will be presented during a ceremony that will be held next January 31 at 9:30 p.m. and will be broadcasted also on Sustainable Truck&Van social media channels and on our website.

The awards went to DAF XG Plus 480 in the Tractor category; Mercedes-Benz eActros in the Distribution category and to Ford E-Transit in the Van category. This year, for the second time in a row, two out of three vehicles awarded are full electric.
