The bar was set high. The six editions of the Apollo-CV Awards did their bit to elevate it. The seventh edition could be no different. And to help us realise this, we were helped by a strong support from the industry, and from our partner Apollo Tyres. A jury comprising Rajat Kataria, Divisional Head, Marketing – CV Radial (Asia Pacific, Middle East, North Africa), Apollo Tyres; Dilip Chhabria, Founder of DC Design; VG Ramakrishnan, Managing Director Asia Region, Frost & Sullivan, and Bhushan Mhapralkar, Editor, CV magazine, had the task of adjudging the OEM (truck and buses), auto components and CV application award categories. It was not an easy task. Especially when one were to consider the emergence of new trends as well as the fortification of some the eixsting trends. With the sales figures clearly indicating a continued growth in the Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M&HCVs) across 2015, it did not come as a surprise that the vehicle nominations amounted to 38 numbers. Conspicuously missing were LCV nominations from the 3.5-tonne to 7-tonne category. If this indicated a movement in the SCV and M&HCV categories, it was not at all easy for the jury to adjudge; to pick up the winners. Especially in the wake of a firm resolve of the CV industry to see through the challenges. To keep moving forward, and turn out new, exciting and efficient products. An excellent array of products may be exciting news for the industry, for the jury it were akin to having sleepless nights. The judging process involved long debates, and deep exploration of domain knowledge as well as experience.

It was after a considerable effort thus, that we arrived at the results. The basis of the results was born out of the consideration for parameters like (a) fitness for application, (b) quality of aggregates, (c) fuel efficiency and top speed (d) option to have vehicle better suited for the purpose (e) price and (f) sales. This was applied to vehicles that were made available during the 2015 calendar year. We arrived at 24 awards to do justice to all the constituents. We tapped into the expertise of Metric Consultancy Ltd. to first invite and then vet fleet operator and dealer applications. Metric had to deal with 524 nominations over a span of three months. These nominations were put through the wringer using the Journey of Excellence parameter derived from the British Quality Foundation.

It was a privilege to host senior representatives from manufacturers. Watching them interact with the incumbents, gave us an inkling of the shape of things to come for the CV industry. The picture (below)should provide a fair idea of what happened at the Jury meet on December 18, 2015. The picture over the next 12 pages should provide an idea of what happened at the awards ceremony on January 21, 2016.

On the following pages is a synopses for each of the panel discussion that preceded the awards evening. As you will discover, the industry heavyweights did not hesitate to air their views on issues that are important and have the ability to influence the course of the industry.
