Road safety charity Brake has launched a Virtual Fleet Exhibition for fleet operators and suppliers, celebrating fleet
safety and sharing best practice.
The exhibition is part of Brake’s Global Fleet Champions initiative and runs for the whole of August. It showcases
projects, products and services that improve road safety and help reduce collisions caused by, and involving, at-work
drivers.
Sadly, vehicle crashes account for a significant proportion of workplace deaths and injuries every year. Some crashes
involving at-work drivers and vehicles also involve members of the public. Through its Global Fleet Champions
initiative, Brake is committed to reducing incidents involving at-work drivers and vehicles, and helping to improve the
safety of those driving for work.
The exhibition will be live until 31 August and is free to access for any fleet operator or supplier interested in fleet
safety. To view the exhibition visit globalfleetchampions.org/virtual-fleet-exhibition.
Caroline Perry, Brake’s NZ director, says: “Work vehicles and drivers are involved in a high number of crashes every year, but there are measures that
organisations can put in place to mitigate risks and reduce incidents. This virtual exhibition is a great way to share
examples of products, services and projects that can help fleet operators to manage road risk, and to network with other
relevant organisations. We encourage fleet operators of any size, and suppliers, to join in.”
There are also still opportunities for last-minute exhibitors to take part. For more information on exhibiting contact
Caroline Perry on +64 (0)21 407 953 or cperry@brake.org.nz.
The virtual exhibition is part of Global Fleet Champions, an initiative by Brake, the road safety charity for fleet
professionals, aimed at sharing best practice in road risk management. Anyone involved in managing at-work drivers, and
suppliers to fleets, can join the free service to gain access to best practice information through events, online and
downloadable tools for managers and drivers. To find out more visit www.globalfleetchampions.org.
