With Carlotta Adreani’s appointment, the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year initiative now features 78 jurors from around the globe
19 September 2024 – The Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year (WWCOTY) is pleased to announce that Carlotta Adreani, from TG5 TV News, has joined its international jury. WWCOTY is the only car award in the world composed exclusively of women motoring journalists, and with Carlotta Adreani’s appointment, it now features 78 judges from 54 countries.
In TG5 (TeleGiornale 5), the most important TV program in Italy, Carlotta Adreani talks about economics and cars. She pays special attention to all the major car shows, news coming on the market and the future of the technologies. The most crucial moment for her career was when she was asked to create a motoring column within TG5. It marked the beginning of her professional path in the world of motors, a path of studies and great satisfaction. “I love this sector and I think that being lucky enough to be able to do the job I love is truly a gift,” she says. “In fact, my passion for cars dates back to my childhood and among my toys was a F40, which I still have,” she confesses.
About Italy
Italy is a country with the highest number of cars in relation to its inhabitants. It remains the country with the oldest car fleet in Europe, with an average car age of 12-13 years. There are many Italians who put off changing their car due to the uncertainty about which engine to choose. 100% electric cars are still in a precarious position because few people own garages in which they can install their wall boxes and as a consequence the numbers are down. In Rome, for example, the more prominent models are city cars. Lately, hybrids and electric vehicles are more prominent because they allow free access to the historical center.

About Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year
Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year is the only car awards group in the world comprised exclusively of women motoring journalists. It was created by New Zealand motoring journalist Sandy Myhre in 2009. She is Honorary President while Marta García is Executive President.
This unique award aims to recognise the best cars of the year and to give a voice to women in the automotive world. The voting criteria are based on the same principles that guide any driver when choosing a car. The jurors do not select a ‘woman’s car’ because cars are not gender specific. Aspects such as safety, quality, price, design, ease of driving, benefits and environmental footprint, among others, are considered when casting the votes.
However, beyond choosing the best cars of the year, our goal is also to give visibility to women in the automotive world and to contribute to making women’s voices heard on all continents because mobility for a woman means access to many personal and professional possibilities.
