2015 AUTOMOTIVE NEWS ALL-STAR AWARDS

See the honorees

How tumultuous was the past year? In a highly unusual choice, the staff of Automotive News picked a regulator, NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind, as Industry Leader of the Year. A pair of West Virginia University researchers made a mark, too, in an industry shaken by safety and environmental crises. With those selections - as well as picks from traditional auto industry disciplines - we recognize that outstanding individuals make a difference, even in a business of huge companies and global scale.
