Fleet operators and suppliers have one week left to enter the 2026 Australasian Fleet Champions Awards, with entries closing on Friday, September 11.
Road safety charity Brake, which organises the awards, is encouraging organisations that have introduced measures to reduce crashes and pollution involving at-work drivers and vehicles to enter.
Brake NZ director Caroline Perry says organisations with employees who drive for work have an important role in improving road safety.
“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,” Perry says.
“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, with organisational categories covering Company Driver Safety, Fleet Safety Product, Road Safety in the Community, Safe Vehicles and Sustainable Journeys.
Three individual awards will also recognise Fleet Driver of the Year, Road Risk Manager of the Year and Outstanding Commitment to Road Safety.
Last year’s winners included Foodstuffs North Island, Waste Management, Linfox and Oranga Tamariki.
The awards are supported by headline sponsor AutoSense, alongside Bridgestone, First Rescue, Fleetcoach, NZI Fleet Fit, SG Fleet and Suzuki.
Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on November 10.
Entry forms and further information are available from Brake New Zealand’s Fleet Champions Awards page.
