The nominations for the Intertraffic Awards 2024 has been announced in three categories.

 

What categories are in the Intertraffic Awards?
 

Green Globe Award, which symbolises innovation that delivers significant environmental benefits;

Inspiration Award, which highlights groundbreaking products inspiring the industry in new directions;

User Experience Award, which recognises excellence in control systems for the end user. 

There are five nominees in each of the three categories, representing mobility solutions manufacturers from 11 different countries.

The five industry experts who make up the Intertraffic Awards Jury spent many hours deliberating over all 75 entries to this year’s awards, with each jury member applying individual scores before the entire panel, chaired by Pieter Litjens, came together to debate the merits of each innovation.

In the next stage of the judging process each of the nominees will be invited to the Jury Day in March at the RAI Amsterdam exhibition centre, the home of Intertraffic, to make presentations and answer questions from the jury.
