29th edition of the Automotive & Business Trophies
By Anthony Mota — August-September 2024 — Pages 37 to 41
This Thursday, July 4, took place the 29th edition of the Trophies of The Automobile & The Business. During this event, several vehicles, services and benefits were honored, in addition to the award of Coup de Coeur awards. It was at the Salons de l'Aéroclub de France in Paris that manufacturers and service providers were rewarded.
The jury, composed of 18 fleet managers and the magazine's editorial staff, met in June to establish the winners of this new edition. Each year, the Trophies of The Automobile & The Business reward service providers who have distinguished themselves in the field of fleet management, mobility, sales and after-sales. These awards highlight innovative solutions that facilitate the sometimes complex work of fleet managers.

Jury's Favourite Prize: Renault
The jury also awarded Ballot Secret its prize Coup de cœur, awarded to a manufacturer that has distinguished itself as much by its product innovations as by its services to businesses. For this 2024 edition, the Coup de Coeur is awarded to Renault, in particular thanks to vehicles with an assertive design and to the strong increase in the range of the brand. The Renault Scenic E-Tech had already been crowned Car of the year 2024 by the European COTY jury at the Geneva Motor Show.
