The inaugural Future Truck Design Awards winners have been revealed at the CV Show.
TfL’s competition, open to students across the UK, asked entrants to help shape future urban delivery vehicles, incorporating safety, efficiency and clean technology.
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the quality, originality and innovation of the entries,” said Ian Wainwright, head of TfL’s freight and fleet team.
“The awards have generated ideas that challenge the traditional look of the HGV, inform future vehicle design and accelerate the process of building trucks for safe, urban use,” he added.
