Each SEMA Vehicle Design Award recipient was part of a selection
process that encompassed several SEMA member companies and automakers who
regularly participate in technology sharing programs. These programs
consist of various data sharing, measurement sessions and technology
transfer initiatives which provide valuable information for specialty
equipment manufacturers looking to be in-sync with the launch of new
vehicles.
The SEMA Vehicle Design Awards were established to honor those newly
introduced vehicles that best exemplify the alliance between the OEMs and
SEMA-member companies. The awards recognize and celebrate the vehicles that
a select group of voting members has chosen as the most accessory-friendly
vehicles of the year.
"This is a very exciting time for the specialty equipment industry
because there are so many accessory-friendly vehicles now available,
including several new Hybrids," said Peter MacGillivray, Vice President
Marketing and Communications for SEMA. "The competition this year was
intense which tells us that the future of the specialty equipment industry
is especially bright."
