A distinction is also made in some categories between Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs), which include Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) on the one side and Commercial Vehicles (CVs) on the other.
Some regular top performers from last year were on stage once again receiving trophies for a job well done.
The award for the Top Volume Dealer (CV) was handed to Isuzu Truck Centre (ITC) Midrand, while Williams Hunt Midrand took the honours for Top Volume Dealer (LCV), all part of CFAO Mobility.
