IVECO UK reveals full HGV shortlist for prestigious 2026 Mission Awards

IVECO UK has unveiled the full shortlist for its 2026 Mission Awards, celebrating the vehicles and operators that embody the marque’s core DNA of durability, innovation, and collaboration. Launched in 2021, the sixth iteration of the awards ceremony sees HGVs and LCVs put to a panel of expert judges, culminating in a black-tie event at the famed Belfry Hotel and Resort in Birmingham where the winners will be announced.

 

The IVECO Mission Awards comprises of four key categories: Construction & Utilities, Grounds Maintenance & Waste Management, Alternative Fuels, Delivery & Distribution – as well as additional awards for Bodybuilder of the Year, an overall Mission Awards winner, and for the first time, an impressive shortlist for Specialist Vehicles.

 

Block-Aid has been keeping Angus and Dundee’s drains flowing since 1928. Its latest recruit, an IVECO X-Way AS280X57YPS 6x2, is fitted with a bespoke tanker body from RTN Clayton Valley. Supplied by AM Phillip, it won the Mission Awards judges’ praise for its high-spec body and meticulous safety equipment.

 

Hauling gravel from its Ladybank quarry since 1961, Angle Park has added an IVECO X-Way 8x4 with a 500hp xCursor13, HI-TRONIX gearbox and lightweight Thompsons aluminium tipper body. Supplied by AM Phillip, it blew Mission Awards judges away with its terrain optimisation, payload-focused body and striking red-and-gold livery.

 

Mike Cutts, Managing Director of IVECO UK, said: “The IVECO Mission Awards have become a staple of the commercial vehicle calendar, and 2026’s shortlist is a perfect example of why. Eight very different and highly specialised HGVs, all designed for the challenging missions they undertake. A huge congratulations to our finalists, and we’ll see you at The Belfry!”

 

The awards take place on Thursday 5th November.
