Fleet operators and suppliers working to reduce road crashes and vehicle emissions are being encouraged to enter the 2025 Australasian Fleet Champions Awards.
The annual awards, organised by road safety charity Brake through its Global Fleet Champions initiative, recognise excellence in road risk management. Entries close Friday 18 July, and the winners will be announced at a ceremony and dinner on Tuesday 11 November.
Brake NZ director Caroline Perry says the awards are an opportunity to highlight those going the extra mile to keep roads safer.
“Organisations with staff who drive on work purposes have an important part to play in making our roads safer,” she says.
“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 2025 awards are sponsored by AutoSense and a number of supporting sponsors. Categories include:
- 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

AutoSense chief executive Charles Dawson says supporting the awards aligns with the company’s values.
“At AutoSense, improving fleet and driver safety is at the core of everything we do. Supporting the Fleet Champions Awards is a natural extension of our commitment to helping businesses on both sides of the Tasman put driver safety and wellbeing at the heart of their operations.
“We’re proud to stand alongside Brake to celebrate organisations that share our dedication to safer journeys for all,” he says.
Past winners include KiwiRail, Microlise, Carbn and Coda.
