Since 2002, the Trailer Innovation Awards programme features a number of categories, seven in all for the 2016 running of the competition, such as:
- Concept
- Chassis
- Body
- Components
- Safety
- Environment
- Smart Trailer

Prototypes and complete solutions are equally eligible, but nothing more than two years old. The closing date for entries is 30 June 2016.
The most important criterion is the contribution made by the innovation to increased efficiency in road freight transport. Does it deliver significant benefits to vehicle operators, for example, in enhanced security, faster processing or lower weight? And what are the economic benefits?
