SOLUTRANS, the international tradeshow for the commercial vehicle industry, has announced the start of the 2025 edition of its prestigious I-nnovation AWARDS: a unique opportunity to distinguish innovation in the transport sector.
These awards aim to highlight the most outstanding innovations in the fields of heavy goods and light commercial vehicles, sustainable mobility and urban logistics.
Whether the products have already been launched on the market or are still in their development phase, the awards recognise solutions that contribute to improving the performance of vehicles with bodywork and to driving forward companies in the sector.
The I-nnovation AWARDS aim to reward companies and organisations offering original solutions in the following categories:
- Body Builders,
- Equipment Suppliers,
- Digitalisation and Connectivity,
- Cargo Bikes
Once again this year, a special ‘Joseph Libner’ award will be presented to recognise an innovation that has had a significant impact on the energy transition in transport.
A judging panel made up of industry professionals, innovation experts and specialised journalists will assess the entries based on criteria such as technology, environmental performance, economic impact and the originality of the projects.
The winners of the 2025 edition will be honoured at an exceptional evening event, to be held on 18 November, the opening day of the exhibition, in the prestigious setting of the Parilly racecourse, a stone’s throw from Lyon Eurexpo. Nearly 300 guests are expected to attend.
This symbolic location was chosen as a nod to the 180th anniversary of the FFC, owner of SOLUTRANS, and to the legacy of industrial bodywork, whose roots go back to the trade of wheelwright and horse-drawn vehicles.
The Berliet Foundation, which has been working for over 40 years to preserve the heritage of heavy-duty vehicles, will also be honoured. It will receive a special award and will exhibit several vehicles, both at the racecourse and in the aisles of the show.
How to enter
Exhibitors wishing to submit their innovations can now register their products and solutions through their dedicated exhibitor account on the SOLUTRANS website. The deadline for entries is 20 October.
