About this episode

Florian Engel discusses the evolution of trucks over 50 years, focusing on the International Truck of the Year award and its implications for fleet management.

Join Florian Engel, CEO of 1Truck Media and Chairman of International Truck of the Year, as he guides us through an engaging journey titled “50 Years of International Truck of the Year.” We explore how trucks have evolved over the last five decades—from mechanical breakthroughs to today’s electric challengers that have claimed consecutive wins. Discover how the award winners’ attributes translate into fleet efficiency, driver comfort, and total cost of ownership. We’ll compare Europe and the USA, discuss owner and driver preferences, and dive into the critical role of service networks and TCO considerations. #TruckOfTheYear #InternationalTruckOfTheYear #TruckingHistory #ElectricTrucks #FleetEfficiency #TotalCostOfOwnership #DriverComfort #TruckTech #EuropeVsUSATrucks #FleetManagement
