Beside the ECW-awards, there are also a couple of other awards that are given
during Busworld Kortijk.

Coach or Bus Builder of the Year Award

The Coach or Bus Builder of the Year Award is given to an outstanding personality in the bus and coach building community for some remarkable achievement or career that has furthered the industry.

International Coach of the Year Award

The title of International Coach of the Year is traditionally awarded by the International Bus & Coach of the Year Jury, a group of senior journalists representing leading industry magazines from 17 countries. The winner is chosen following the demanding CoachEuro Test event which was held this year near Zurich in Switzerland. This prestigious trophy is sponsored by Busworld and traditionally awarded during the opening ceremony of this trade fair. However on special demand of the winner, this time the award will be delivered during an event in its stand on Friday the 19th.
