Amelia Dalgaard Strengthens Women's Worldwide Car Of The Year Jury With Expertise
The Women's Worldwide Car of the Year (WWCOTY) has welcomed Amelia Dalgaard, an American car journalist from Motorhead Mama, to its international jury. This award is unique as it consists solely of women motoring journalists and spans all five continents. Amelia's addition strengthens WWCOTY's presence in the USA, enhancing its role in recognising excellence in the automotive industry.
Amelia Dalgaard began her journey with Motorhead Mama as an anonymous blog, initially treating it humorously. She doubted anyone would care about her car opinions. However, her passion for driving, speed, design, and safety soon attracted attention from automakers. A reader's comment stating, "A woman couldn’t write this. She knows too much about cars," encouraged her to reveal her identity.
Motorhead Mama is a well-regarded online magazine known for its humorous and insightful automotive commentary. It covers various topics from car culture to reviews of both everyday vehicles and high-performance sports cars. The magazine caters to a diverse audience ranging from casual car enthusiasts to dedicated gearheads.
The United States is home to one of the world's largest automotive markets, driven by a population exceeding 330 million and a robust economy. Last year alone, approximately 15.5 million cars and light trucks were sold. The country's deep-rooted love for cars significantly impacts the global economy.
Current automotive trends in America are notably diverse. There is a growing shift towards electrification and smaller vehicles with an emphasis on environmental responsibility. Yet, there remains a strong fascination with large trucks, reflecting the nation's continued reliance on automobiles for transportation.
Women's Worldwide Car of the Year
Established by New Zealand motoring journalist Sandy Myhre in 2009, WWCOTY stands out as the only car awards group exclusively composed of women motoring journalists. Sandy Myhre serves as Honorary President while Marta García holds the position of Executive President.
The award aims to recognise outstanding cars annually while amplifying women's voices in the automotive sector. Voting criteria focus on factors like safety, quality, price, design, ease of driving, benefits, and environmental impact rather than gender-specific preferences.
Beyond selecting top cars each year, WWCOTY strives to enhance visibility for women in the automotive world across all continents. It seeks to empower women by highlighting their contributions and ensuring their voices are heard globally.
