Organisations with staff who drive for work are being urged to attend an upcoming one-day fleet management seminar in Auckland, covering driver safety, sustainability and fast-changing vehicle technology.
The event –– run by the Australasian Fleet Management Association (AfMA) and road safety charity Brake, sponsored by Teletrac Navman –– will be held Tuesday, November 11, in Auckland.
Organisers say the session will examine current challenges and opportunities for fleets, with speakers on driving policies and creating a safety culture, sustainability and product stewardship, “humanising” data, and the challenges and opportunities for today’s fleet managers. The seminar is open to health and safety staff, fleet managers, senior leaders, suppliers, insurers and driver-training providers.
Caroline Perry, Brake’s NZ director, comments: “If you have employees who drive on work purposes, fleet management, including managing your road risk, is a vital part of your workplace health and safety programme.”
“We’re delighted to be working with AfMA and Teletrac Navman to bring fleet professionals a series of events covering some important current fleet management topics. These seminars are designed for organisations operating fleets of any size and type, and with any size of budget, and I encourage anyone with staff who drive on work purposes to attend.”
Mace Hartley, executive director of AfMA, adds: “Industry-led seminars are the foundation stones for your continuing education and career advancement in fleet management.”
“AfMA organises regular seminars but we especially enjoy heading over to New Zealand to connect with our NZ-based members and supporters. Whether you’re new to the fleet industry or have been in the game for many years – starting the conversation about vehicle safety is always an eye-opening experience and one we simply can’t take for granted.”
Megan Duncan, director of global marketing operations, Teletrac Navman, comments: “We’re excited to be working with AfMA and Brake to have these seminars running in both the North and South Islands in 2025.”
“Teletrac Navman are really pleased to support New Zealand’s fleet professionals in furthering their knowledge and sharing expertise. Keeping across a changing landscape of safety and technology advancements isn’t easy, so it’s fantastic we are able to provide this great learning opportunity.”
Tickets are $105 + GST for the seminar, or $199 + GST for a combined pass that also includes entry to the Australasian Fleet Champions Awards — hosted by Brake at the same venue that evening, recognising organisations that have cut road risk.
