The FIAA will present two of Europe's most prestigious awards to the bus industry
At IFEMA MADRID, from 12 to 21 October 2024
The International Bus and Coach Fair, FIAA 2024, organised by IFEMA MADRID at its facilities, will celebrate its fifteenth year from 22 to 25 October. The evening of 21 October, the day before its inauguration, will see the presentation of two of the most prestigious European awards in the bus industry: the Minibus of the Year and the Sustainable Bus Awards.
The first, organised by the leading Spanish magazine Autobuses & Autocares in collaboration with the Show, recognises the most outstanding new vehicles or those less than two years old, with a maximum length of 8 metres and any type of propulsion. The selection is made by a jury comprising the heads of 23 leading trade publications in their respective countries. The jury will assess several key areas, including performance, interior and exterior design, safety, passenger and driver comfort, integrated solutions and behaviour along a specially designed transport line.
This initiative, promoted by the Jury of the international Bus & Coach of the Year Awards, involves the input of over 60 industry professionals, including experts who assess the contestants and participating brands.
The Sustainable Bus Awards is the only European award that recognises the sustainability of buses in three categories: Local, Regional and Coach. A jury comprising journalists from the top 10 industry magazines in their countries will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the competing vehicles, assessing the engine, transmission, safety, comfort and sustainability in collaboration with the vehicle manufacturers.
The objective of these awards is to communicate to the public the bus and coach industry's dedication to sustainability, with a focus on developing more efficient, less polluting and safer vehicles.
