Despite these challenges, however, this has not stopped the industry from growing.

Furthermore, the rise in government legislation requiring vehicle component upgrades or replacements means that local aftermarket services are in higher demand than ever.

Best Replacement Vehicle Provider 2024 – Australia Carbiz started in 2016 in a converted garage with just four rental cars and a bucket of water. In under a decade, it has grown to over ten branches across Australia, building a reputation as a reliable provider of replacement vehicles and accident management services. “We keep life moving when your car can’t” Should you find yourself in a car accident that wasn’t your fault, Carbiz will deliver you a replacement car like yours at no cost to you. They recover the costs from the at-fault driver’s insurer, taking advantage of a little-known fact: Australian drivers are legally entitled to a replacement car when they are not at fault in a car accident. Carbiz makes it a priority to educate their customers about this right, encouraging them to spread the word. “We are customer advocates,” says Alex. “We operate as a truly independent organisation within the automotive industry, positioned right at the intersection of repairers and insurers.” This independence allows Carbiz to choose the repairers and tow truck drivers they partner with, ensuring that their customers receive the service they deserve from the time of the accident, up until the completion of their repairs. These carefully curated partnerships also allow Carbiz to broaden their reach and assist more drivers across Australia, bringing them a step closer to their goal of becoming a household name. “We want to become a trusted name in every Australian household,” Alex shared. “That is why we operate seven days a week, from the early hours of the morning until late in the evening. We go the extra mile.” What’s more, Carbiz only charges a nominal $1 pre-authorisation fee that is automatically released after a week, rather than a costly bond. The organisation also maintains total transparency with its customers by ensuring that they understand they can keep their replacement vehicle until their repairs are done or until they receive their payout from the insurer—rights that are often overlooked by insurers due to capped hire periods or the absence of hire car coverage in policies. In 2023, Carbiz was awarded Car Rental Service of the Year for 2023 by Product Review, after having amassed over 4,000 five-star customer reviews on the platform. “I had the best experience with this car rental place,” writes Carmen. “They came to my work to drop off the car and the whole process was very quick and easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Carbiz; you will love the whole experience.” “After being sideswiped in an accident that was not our fault, we contacted Carbiz to discuss the issue and to enquire about options,” says C.M. “After confirming the accident details, we were given a few options for a replacement vehicle and once we agreed on the car, we had it delivered to our home within a couple of hours. Excellent service, friendly staff, and the car was excellent. I highly recommend their services.” “Amazing and efficient service, and very helpful in the stressful situation of having to hire a car,” writes Lindaura. “Carbiz went above and beyond when I had to change my pickup location. It was the best choice I have made to use them; I would highly recommend!” Alex tells us that Carbiz allow its testimonials to serve as a tangible measure of its performance. The company preserves its position as Australia’s leading provider of replacement vehicles by leveraging reviews of its clients’ experiences to drive improvements in its service model. Carbiz successfully maintains its competitive edge by continually speaking with customers, partners, and its team to determine any points of friction, using human centred design models to identify and close any additional gaps in the market. Understanding the fundamental role that people play in its success, Carbiz is committed to acquiring and maintaining a team of the industry’s top talent. The company has established a People and Culture team, as well as a Talent Acquisition Advisor solely committed to screening and hiring staff. “The People and Culture team focuses on creating a positive work environment, where employees feel welcomed,” Alex tells us. “Together, we celebrate birthdays, personal and professional milestones, as well as staff participation in the community.” Carbiz’s culture begins with a comprehensive induction process, which involves flying new starters from across the country to its Mascot headquarters so that they can complete essential training. From here, employees are given the opportunity to immerse themselves in the teams and operations that form the innerworkings of Carbiz. Carbiz believes in fostering a comprehensive understanding of different departments, helping everyone see how they fit into the bigger picture. Carbiz adopts a buddy system that helps new starters feel comfortable and supported as they join the company. This approach not only helps new starters with their integration into the company but also provides existing employees with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, paving the way for organic growth into management roles. In the community, Carbiz sponsors the Southwest Sydney Netball Club, where one of the company’s in-house solicitors, Natalija, leads as head coach. The organisation also sponsors two football clubs, Hurstville ZFC and the Kogarah Waratahs, where Robbie and Fab, two of Carbiz’s Operations team members, are actively engaged players. What’s more, Carbiz extends its support to Carlos and Annabelle Rolfo, the first-ever father-daughter duo to race at Bathurst. Through such sponsorships, Alex tells us, Carbiz creates an environment where its employees are not only valued for their professional contributions, but also empowered to excel in their personal endeavours. “By nurturing their growth outside of the workplace,” he says, “we positively impact our employees’ lives and the broader communities we touch.” Transportation is a big part of daily life. It’s so familiar that we hardly give the cars around us a second thought. Yet every year, thousands of Australians face the worry and uncertainty of being in a car accident. When it happens, dealing with insurers, repairers and finding a replacement car often only contributes to the stress. Carbiz is here to help, offering a streamlined accident management service from multiple locations throughout Australia. Join us in speaking with Alex Rodov, CEO of Carbiz, as he shares more about the organisation.

The Business Concept- Automotive Awards 2024| 7 Sep24073 Most Trusted Independent Vehicle Specialists 2024 – Canberra Based in Fyshwick, Series Workshop is the go-to Land Rover and Range Rover specialist for the Canberra community. Striving to be a one-stopshop for all of its clients’ repair needs, the company works to deliver the whole experience under one roof by doing almost everything in-house at its workshop. Comprised of three partners, one of whom is a Land Rover trained technician, Series Workshop operates with the core values of delivering the best possible service at the best possible price. Upholding the most stringent dedication to customer service, Series Workshop places the interests of its clients at the heart of everything it does. “Our customers are mostly Land Rover owners from the very beginning of owning their own vehicle, and most of them grew up with a Land Rover,” Johnny tells us. “We value honesty and transparency when it comes to our clients and their vehicle. If anything, our core values are more concrete now than ever, with the world changing around us.” Around the world, the automotive industry is facing the same current challenges in regard to alternative fuels. Series Workshop finds that manufacturers merely ‘band-aid’ vehicle and commission control, displaying a disinterest towards the customers. As a result, customers end up requiring repair services, and experience poor dealer service in addition to manufacturing and design flaws. Series Workshop’s unwavering commitment to its client’s experience enables it to retain high quality services within this challenging environment, as well as its’s vast knowledge and experience of the brand. The company works to promote freedom and approachability amongst the staff, hoping to instil within them the extra confidence that every customer is looking for. Understanding the risks that a hostile environment can pose to the success of a company, easily detected by customers, Series Workshop takes every effort to foster a positive, communicative environment. The company believes that a relentless leader is the backbone to this environment, combined with continuous discussions amongst the team to share problems and develop solutions that involve each member of the company. “There is no handbook for how to deal with situations in the day to day running of the business,” says Johnny. “One thing we do and focus on a lot is ensuring that all staff are included in the business, and that our customers have the confidence to talk to or ask any staff member questions about their vehicle. Everybody feels like a family; we share the good and bad internally and support each other.” Finding talent within the industry can be a difficult feat, primarily due to the negative stigma associated with the trade. As a result, there is a shortage of tradesmen and a significant gap in the industry of good technicians. All sectors across the industry are being hurt by this development, and any company hoping to successfully navigate this landscape desperately needs the forward-thinking, positive internal culture fostered by Series Workshop. As for the future of the company, Johnny tells us that Series Workshop plans to continue enhancing its offerings and leaning into the changing market. “The future looks good, as we are constantly evolving and improving ourselves,” she says. “Vehicles will need repairs and maintenance, and we just need to stay on top of the evolution, evolve with it, and embrace the changes. Teamwork will always be a key factor and has to be.” This leading attitude is exactly what enables Series Workshop to thrive and has earned the company the title of the Most Trusted Independent Vehicle Specialists 2024 – Canberra. For its exceptional services, approachable and proactive team, and vast wealth of industry knowledge, Series Workshop has achieved numerous five-star reviews. “Great mechanic!” says Zeke. “High quality workmanship at an extremely competitive price compared to other Land Rover specific shops I’ve taken my car to in the past. I dropped in at short notice and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Ten out of ten for Series Workshop!” “Truly excellent service and support,” writes MJP. “Too rare these days, unfortunately. You will not regret taking your car here, but you will probably regret not using Series Workshop sooner.” Contact: Shelby Clark Company: The Series Workshop Pty Ltd Web Address: https://www.seriesworkshop.com.au/ Series Workshop is a leading independent Land Rover specialist on a mission to provide exceptional service that caters to the specific requirements of Land Rover owners. For its dedication to setting and maintaining the highest standards in the industry, Series Workshop has been recognised in the Automotive Awards 2024.

The Business Concept- Automotive Awards 2024 Best Luxury Executive Transportation Company 2024 - Yorkshire & Chauffeur Company of the Year 2024 - Yorkshire Even if a person has their own vehicle and is able to drive, there are a host of reasons why doing so may not preferable. In the case of going to the airport to catch a flight for example, driving would incur the likes of exponential parking costs and result in an added layer of stress that is unwarranted before a holiday or a business trip. Or, if a person is an executive and on the way to a big corporate meeting, driving would break their focus and not give them the time they need to prepare beforehand. This is why clients from across the UK call on Yorkshire Chauffeurs for all of their important journeys, with the professionalism, reliability, and friendliness of the service provided ensuring a smooth ride from start to finish. The company tailors every journey around the person(s) taking it, and the little touches provided like being greeted with their favourite hot drink or a comfy pillow in the case of a long journey sees clients afforded a personal service and left satisfied with drivers who always go the extra mile.

From its home base in the heart of Northern England, Yorkshire Chauffeurs offers luxury transportation to clients in search of nothing but the best chauffer experience around. Taking executives to and from corporate events, carrying out airport runs, and ensuring reliable transportation for film and television productions are just some of the tasks these professionals undertake throughout the county and across the whole of the UK, delivering people to their destinations in style and comfort. Sep24055 Such added conveniences as free Wi-Fi in every vehicle, phone chargers, and complimentary Harrogate-brand water, hand sanitiser, and wipes are a further reflection of this dedication, and drivers also let the passenger(s) control the temperature and listen to their own music. Going that one step further, when it comes to field sport transportation, all drivers are qualified and licensed, meaning that they can meticulously clean and safely store a client’s guns at the end of the day, before transporting them home to or to their accommodation. Aware that plans can change at just a moment’s notice, another cornerstone of Yorkshire Chauffeurs is the adaptability of its service. Travel itineraries can be revised almost endlessly and with a quick turnaround, so whether it’s a small detour to grab a snack en route, or roadworks or a traffic accident mean that the current way is now no longer the quickest or most efficient, the team here are accommodating of change, without ever sacrificing on the safety, comfort, and enjoyment that define every journey. For clients of Yorkshire Chauffeurs, it is the quiet luxury, exclusivity, and innate elegance that keep them coming back time and again. As discussed already, this is something that all of the company’s drivers exude, but this commitment transcends just the staff, applying also to the vehicles that comprise the company’s portfolio. Top-ofthe-line cars such as the Range Rover Autobiography, Land Rover Discovery 5 HSE, and Mercedes V Class AMG radiate automotive mastery at every turn and set the wheels in motion for a great trip. A subtle Jo Malone fragrance then goes along way in adding to the experience, and since these cars have been washed more than 400 times across the approximately 150,000 miles that they have travelled so far, Yorkshire Chauffeurs sees that its clients do not just simply arrive at their destination in time, but rather that they make a grand, unforgettable entrance. It’s all about image in today’s world, and arriving in style in a Yorkshire Chauffeurs car is a great way to make a lasting impression with friends and colleagues alike. With a meticulous blend of luxury, convenience, and professionalism at its disposal, Yorkshire Chauffeurs offers a service like no other, making it standout in its field and a unique highlight of the Automotive Awards 2024.

The Business Concept- Automotive Awards 2024 culture helps the company attract top industry talent, individuals who are keen on working towards bringing the future of mobility into the present as quickly and efficiently as possible. In order to see this vision realised, the future for Tactile Mobility revolves around further supporting SDVs and honing its pioneering tactile sensing technology. Be it deepening the integral collaborations it has with fellow industry leaders, or expanding its cloud-based grip map platform – which is capable of delivering real-time data on both road friction and general service conditions – this company is scaling innovation so that physical sensors may slowly but surely be phased out or assisted through virtual ones, providing customers with a fuller, more accurate picture of both the roads and their vehicles. An undisputed leader in road safety solutions, Tactile Mobility’s virtual sensors and all-weather vehicle perception capabilities, combined with its automotive tactile data analyses, make its solutions unique and guaranteed to thrive in all conditions, even when similar solutions may fail. Thus, as this groundbreaking company continues to offer products that act as catalysts for the development of the wider automotive landscape, we are delighted to crown it as the Best Tactile Automotive Data Technology Company 2024. Contact: Ran Timor Company: Tactile Mobility Web Address: https://tactilemobility.com/ Best Tactile Automotive Data Technology Company 2024 As a leading provider of software solutions that provide vehicles with a distinct ‘sense of touch’, Israel’s Tactile Mobility has been taking the mobility industry to new heights since it was founded in 2012. With more than a decade of experience under its belt, this company, which is trusted by partners such as Goodyear and Porsche—has developed next-generation technology that leverages existing vehicle data to deliver accurate insights into vehicle-road dynamics, including road conditions, tire wear, road grip, and vehicle weight, all without the need for additional hardware systems. Committed to continuously enhancing road safety and vehicle performance, Tactile Mobility collaborates closely with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and road authorities worldwide to achieve its vision of unlocking a better, safer future for road users everywhere. The company’s core offerings reflect this commitment, encompassing its pioneering tactile sensing technology, advanced data analytics, and comprehensive road safety and efficiency solutions. Having maintained an unwavering commitment to the areas of innovation, safety, and client satisfaction since day one, Tactile Mobility takes the necessary steps to see that its technology far exceeds the ever-evolving needs of the diverse international automotive industry. Its focus on tactile data sensing and perception capabilities has led to key differentiators that set its solutions apart from others on the market. The result is that a range of key differentiators arise when it comes to comparing these solutions to the others that are currently available on the market. For example, because the virtual sensors utilised by the company do not rely on visual data like cameras and LiDAR sensors do, making them highly effective in challenging conditions such as low visibility or nighttime. Beyond this, because Tactile Mobility has crafted a softwareonly solution, it integrates seamlessly into existing vehicle systems, reducing time and cost across the supply chain. This versatility supports a wide range of vehicle models, offering significant advantages for outfitting entire fleets. The icing on the cake is that the virtual nature of these sensors means that no physical sensors or components need maintaining, which not only reduces the risk of malfunction considerably, but it also keeps costs down in the longer term, making this an investment solution that is more than worthwhile. Finally, since all of the data collected is analysed in real time, it affords clients with actionable insights that keep their vehicles consistently reaching maximum performance, even when driving conditions are challenging. Such uniquities highlight Tactile Mobility’s drive to holistically address the needs of the global automotive industry, a sector currently undergoing several transformative trends that are redefining its future. From the wider transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) that are constantly being updated to improve the driver experience, to the emergence of L3 autonomous driving – which sees drives able to legally take their eyes off the road should conditions be met – the company’s solutions are benefiting these shifts to no end. Much of this transformative success can be attributed to the internal culture that exists within Tactile Mobility, which is built on the fundamental pillars of safety, innovation, open communication, and curiosity, and underpinned by a client-centric approach that sees valueadded solutions delivered that are tailored to a client’s every need.

Ignition Collective worked with both Ford and Oracle Red Bull Racing - ahead of this partnership being officially announced last February - managing related assets, events, and content creation since then. Moreover, the Castrol team have been so impressed with the work that Ignition Collective has done for its activation events for the likes of F1, WRC, and MotoGP, that it has asked for support on its football event activation with Tottenham Hotspur in the future.
