The winners of the Australasian Road Safety Awards were announced at a ceremony in Auckland on October 31 at international road safety charity Brake’s 10th annual awards.

The awards are held annually as part of Brake’s Global Fleet Champions initiative, which is a global partnership campaign to prevent crashes and reduce pollution by vehicles used for work purposes.

Three individual awards were presented to fleet professionals, including a category new to this year’s awards – the Fleet Driver Award. Organisational awards were also presented.

Brake NZ Director Caroline Perry congratulated the winners on their success.

“We are delighted to see organisations working hard to help ensure their employees, contractors and other road users get home safely every day,” Perry says.

“The organisations represented at the awards are striving to make a real difference to fleet and road safety, and we hope their work achievements inspire other organisations to implement measures to address their own risks too.

“Congratulations to all the winners and highly commended entrants at the tenth Fleet Champions Awards.”
