- In 2018, the Volkswagen Amarok V6 won the IPUA Award. While last year, the Groupe PSA Peugeot Partner/Citroën Berlingo and Opel/Vauxhall Combo shared the IVOTY 2019 Award.
Commenting on the strong list of candidates for this year’s competition, ITOY jury member and Chairman of the IVOTY/IPUA Jarlath Sweeney said; “For the 2020 Awards, we had a good list of potential candidates with 11 vans and 8 Pick-ups in the frame and after an early election process, this number for both IVOTY & IPUA were whittled down to 6 and 5 respectively.”
