The I-nnovation Awards SOLUTRANS

In an increasingly challenging environment for industrial and urban vehicles, the emergence of new innovative solutions is essential. To contribute to this, SOLUTRANS has been organising the I-nnovation Awards for several years.

BRINGING FORTH NEW INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

Highlighting innovative projects that are committed to shaking up the industrial and urban vehicle sector is the raison d'être of the I-nnovation Awards! A true reflection of the sector's dynamism, the competition is an opportunity for SOLUTRANS exhibitors, whether they are bodywork manufacturers, equipment manufacturers or providers of digital solutions, to present their latest innovations in road and urban transport. Join us on 18 November 2025 at the Hippodrome de Parilly to discover the winners of the 2025 edition during an evening event bringing together the major players in the sector.

* Only exhibitors at SOLUTRANS 2025 can apply for the I-nnovation AWARDS competition.

EVOLUTION

PRICES THAT EVOLVE IN LINE WITH THE INDUSTRY

A reflection of the new challenges affecting the industrial and light vehicle sector, the I-nnovation Awards are adapting and new categories are being introduced, always with the aim of highlighting solutions that meet the challenges of the modern world.

In addition to the traditional ‘coachbuilder’ and ‘equipment manufacturer’ categories, SOLUTRANS has introduced new awards for innovations in connected solutions (Digital Awards) and environmental solutions (Joseph Libner Special Award), as well as a special Cargobike Award. In 2025, to mark the 180th anniversary of the FFC, a new special prize will be awarded by SOLUTRANS to a long-standing player in the industrial and urban vehicle sector.

A PRICE FOR PROFESSIONALS BY PROFESSIONALS

Since it is the people who make up the industry who are the most capable of judging the disruptive potential of each project, SOLUTRANS and the FFC call on the expertise of an exceptional jury each year, made up of acknowledged professionals and journalists from the sector. Together, they discover, analyse and elect the most promising projects so as to showcase those that will help the industry transform itself with positive impact in the long term.
