Shortlisted companies will be asked to complete a questionnaire relevant to the awards they are competing for. The questionnaire will be sent out once the nominations have closed on DECEMBER 7.

Additional supporting material, such as comments from satisfied customers, can be included. Votes from fleet decision-makers will be taken into account during the judges' deliberations.

In the car and van section, a shortlist of vehicles taken from reader nominations will be considered by a panel including wholelife cost experts and residual value specialists.

Please note, cars and vans will only be eligible for an award if they were launched, on sale and in the showrooms by October 31, 2002.

Vehicles launched after this date will not qualify for the Fleet News Awards 2003.

The winners of each category will be revealed at the fleet night of the year, the Fleet News Awards 2003, on March 19, 2003 at Le Meridien Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.
