National Business Motoring Awards return as live event for 2026, nominations open now

The National Business Motoring Awards will return as a live, in-person event on 26th November 2026 at Coombe Abbey Hotel in Coventry, with nominations open now.

Formerly the separate Business Motoring and Business Vans Awards, the two programmes have been combined and refreshed for 2026 to recognise excellence, innovation and leadership across the UK’s light commercial vehicle and business motoring sectors.

The awards will bring together manufacturers, fleet professionals, business leaders and industry suppliers, with categories covering vehicles, leasing, rental, fleet management, maintenance, technology, EV charging, remarketing and risk management.

Individual categories will also recognise fleet managers, rising stars and wider industry achievement, alongside a Hall of Fame selected by the editorial team and judging panel.

Vehicle categories include Company Car of the Year, Company Van of the Year, Electric Car of the Year and Electric Van of the Year, as well as manufacturer awards covering cars, vans and EVs.

The awards recognise products and services supporting SMEs, trades and commercial drivers, with the 2026 programme reflecting changes in the sector including electrification, new technologies and evolving business requirements.

Nominations are now open for eligible categories, allowing companies and individuals to nominate themselves, their organisation or an industry peer.

Those who cast their vote can be in with a chance of winning a table for 10 at the event.
