Autocar is delighted to announce the return of Siemens as our partner for the 2026 Autocar Awards, continuing a highly successful collaboration that began last year.
The partnership unites the world’s oldest automotive publication with a global leader in industrial software, automation, infrastructure and digital transformation. Together, we will celebrate the finest cars and the visionary industry leaders shaping the automotive industry.
“We are thrilled to welcome Siemens back as our Partner for the 2026 Autocar Awards,” said Mark Tisshaw, editor of Autocar. “Last year’s partnership was a tremendous success, highlighting the shared values we have dedicated to excellence and innovation in the automotive industry.
“The Autocar Awards are unique in not just celebrating the great cars but the great people who have helped make them. We’re delighted to be able to do that alongside Siemens once more.”
The winners of the 2026 Autocar Awards will be announced on Wednesday 10 June across all of our print and digital channels. An awards ceremony to honour our winners in person will take place on the evening of 9 June in central London.
Uday Senapati, global head of automotive, Siemens, said: “We’re proud to partner with Autocar again to celebrate an industry that continues to push the boundaries of innovation.
“From software and AI to advanced engineering, the automotive industry is evolving at pace and the highly skilled people across the sector are at the heart of this transformation.
