Safety-conscious companies celebrated at Australasian Fleet Champions Awards
Companies have been honoured for working hard to reduce incidents involving at-work drivers and vehicles during the sixth annual Australasian Fleet Champions Awards
The awards, run by Brake, the road safety charity and sponsored by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, recognise companies and individuals who’ve implemented successful initiatives, products, or services to tackle fleet safety.
The winners were announced at a virtual awards ceremony in November. Individual awards were sponsored by Bridgestone, SurePlan, and Suzuki.
The awards are held annually and are part of Brake’s Global Fleet Champions initiative, a global partnership campaign to prevent crashes and reduce pollution by vehicles used for work purposes.
