For the fifth edition of the Amam e-Trophies, the Automobile and Motorcycle Media Association has brought together a selection field of a total of 28 electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, breaking the record of 26 cars installed last year. Almost all segments were represented, from mini city cars to large SUVs, including sedans and even electric vans.
Additionally, five of the 24 brands represented at the Amam 2026 e-Trophies have just entered the French market: Denza, Jaecoo, Omoda, Polestar and Zeekr. For two days, 35 automotive journalists from the French media and, for the first time, from Switzerland and Belgium, got behind the wheel of the vehicles and made evaluations. Here is the award list.
