Manufacturer Awards

Manufacturer Awards


Criteria

There is no requirement to submit an entry for these categories.

All manufacturers’ vehicles will be judged by an independent panel of judges, carefully selected from a number of independent bodies.

The awards are judged by van market analysts and residual values experts, helping ensure running costs are a key factor in deciding the winning commercial vehicles, as well as driver desirability, and fit for purpose.

They are joined by members of the What Van editorial team, who also have experience of the vehicles under consideration.
