Fleet operators and suppliers across Australasia working to reduce crashes and pollution from vehicles being driven on work purposes are being encouraged to enter the tenth annual Australasian Fleet Champions Awards.
Brake, the road safety charity organises the awards each year through its Global Fleet Champions initiative and is reminding organisations that the deadline for entries is Friday 26 July 2024. The winners will be announced at a ceremony in October in Auckland.
The Awards recognise the achievements of organisations and individuals working in the field of road risk management and are run thanks to support from sponsors First Rescue, Fleetcoach and SG Fleet. The 2023 Award Winners included organisations such as Alexander Group, Beca and Queenstown Lakes District Council.
“Organisations with staff who drive on work purposes have an important part to play in making our roads safer,” said Brake’s NZ Director, Caroline Perry.
“The Fleet Champions Awards are a fantastic opportunity to recognise the effort that organisations are making to reduce incidents involving at-work drivers and vehicles.
“The awards are entered by a range of fleet operators and suppliers, and I’d urge any organisation that has put measures in place to reduce their road risk to consider entering the awards or nominating someone else within the industry.”
The awards are free to enter and are being offered in the following categories:
- Company Driver Safety
- Fleet Safety Product
- Road Safety in the Community
- Safe Vehicles
- Sustainable Journeys
- Fleet Driver of the Year
- Road Risk Manager of the Year
