A new Fleet Benchmarking tool hopes to emulate the safety success achieved in the rail industry by drawing on lessons learned from rail’s experience of benchmarking, including data-gathering, analysis, decisive action and effective collaboration.

April marks the first opportunity for UK businesses to test the new tool, which officially launched at the end of March following months of behind-the-scenes development.

Funded by the Department for Transport (DfT), in partnership with Driving for Better Business, Fleet News and Roadsafe, the new tool overhauls the way that fleet managers, company directors and business owners measure their individual road safety and environmental performance against other organisations.
