(Updated September 20th)
28 Jurors have registered for Tannistest this year. Together with around 30 co-operators we can expect appr. 60 journalists in total. 15 car brands are bringing 23 new car models and in total 50 cars to the event. And for many jurors it is the first chance to drive several of the car models on public roads. It seems to be a great test for all participant!
Søren
- Last minute update on test cars...
-
(Updated 20th September - Renault Scenic goes 'Dynamic')
NEW: Renault now confirm that they will bring four cars of the new Scenic and that all cars will be available for dynamic test drives.
There has also been some other changes in the list of cars available at Tannistest 2023. Unfortunately XPENG has chosen to withdraw all the test cars from the test, which means there will be no XPENG P7 or G9 at the Tannistest. I know many have looked forward to see and try these cars, but this is not possible now, and the reason is that XPENG doesn't qualify for the longlist since they are only present in four markets this year. Next year it is another situation...
Luckily we have now been able to welcome FIAT with the new 600e and LUCID AIR this year . The complete list of cars at the event is updated above, and later we will list the complete coverage of car models including detailed information on each test car for the Tannistest.
Søren
- Please send more cars!
-
Due to a record amount of jurors attending Tannistest this year we are now in contact to the car manufactors in order to ask for more test cars for the event. This should prevent waiting time for a test car for the Jurors at the event.
Søren
- Charging fee for EV's and PHEV's at Tannistest 2023
-
Tannistest has organized charging infrastructure so we are able to charge all the test cars at the event. To cover these costs, we ask the Car Manufacturers/Car Importers for payment to charge the electric cars and the plug-in hybrid cars that are participating in Tannistest 2023.
The fee will be a 'flat rate' of 100 Euro for each BEV or PHEV car. The fee will be charged at the event to one of the representatives of each brand in case we haven't agreed in other payment methods. The Tannistest organization ensures that all the cars are continuously charged so that there always is sufficient power for the test drives.Søren

- Thanks to all for a fantastic Tannistest 2022!

This Tannistest has been a success! Not because of the weather! But because of the great support from both COTY-Jurors and the industry. It has resulted in many cars, fine tests and excellent photo sessions. And we managed to have two interesting interview sessions.
So, as the organizer of Tannis-test I will conclude, we got what we came for. It has once again been great to join Tannistest whatever you are a journalist or a representative of the industry.
I will use the opportunity to thank the car brands for their strong commitment and support by bringing both cars and experts. Also to my colleagues in the Jury and my colleagues from FDM I wish to say: Thank you! And to everyone: I wish you a safe journey back home and welcome back next year!
On behalf of the Nordic jury group
Søren W. Rasmussen
