About

The International Minibus, Bus and Coach of the Year Jury is an independent, democratic, non-profit organization formed by a select group of leading trade magazines in the European countries.

Every year a jury of European journalists chooses the Bus or Coach of the Year. The jury was founded in 1989 with 12 journalists from 12 countries. By now the leading bus magazines of 24 European countries are represented in the jury.

In 1989 the award was founded to show respect to the potential and creativity of the bus manufacturers. They produce highly sophisticated solutions for everyday’s mobility needs as well as for comfortable travelling. So the award "Bus of the Year", "Coach of the Year" or "Minibus of the Year" demonstrates the high quality of this industry.
