The LA Auto Show and AutoMobility LA announced the award, which was presented by Plug and Play and SiriusXM Connected Vehicles.
Event organizers says Thor Trucks was named one of this year’s Top Ten startups after being selected from hundreds of applicants, because of the company’s electric fleet management solutions. After making it to the Top Three alongside an exceptional group of innovative startups from around the world, including CARMERA and what3words, Thor Trucks was chosen as this year’s winner following an impressive pitch session that took place live on-stage during AutoMobility LA in front of the judges.
The esteemed panel of judges were comprised of AutoMobility LA’s executive team, and leaders from major companies in the mobility space, including Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Plug and Play, Porsche Consulting, Sansea Consulting, and Sirius XM Connected Vehicles.
“Thor Trucks has proven itself among some extremely distinguished competitors and we are excited to announce them as the winner of our 2018 Top Ten Automotive Startups Competition,” says Manuela Papadopol, CEO of Designated Driver and AutoMobility LA Advisory Board member. “The Top Ten competition is one that continues to grow and we are always impressed by the number of submissions received every year. We are happy to have a competition that helps promising startups continue to advance in in the new mobility industry.”
