INTERNATIONAL VAN OF THE YEAR (IVOTY)

The International Van of the Year Award was launched in 1992 as a complement to ITOY. With a few exceptions, the judging panel is largely common to both awards, and represents 25 European magazines.

 

The main criterion for the International Van of the Year Award is its contribution to the efficiency, safety, durability and environmental standards of the light goods road transport sector. To be eligible, the vehicle must be new, in series production at the end of the year for which it receives the Award, and present a significant technological innovation compared with models of previous generations.
