A new fleet benchmarking initiative funded by the Department for Transport will be unveiled at the Fleet200 Executive Club virtual meeting on March 30.

The gathering of the UK’s largest professional fleet decision-makers will hear from safety consultant Andy Price and Driving for Better Business campaigns manager Simon Turner, who have been working with a project team of fleet experts in partnership with Roadsafe and Fleet News to create the first national fleet benchmarking programme.

The online tool will enable organisations of all sizes to compare and contrast their safety and environmental performance against others in the same sector, giving them vital insight to improve their fleet operations.

“Most organisations that keep proper records, have driving for work policies and communicate well with their workforce do it because, financially, they know it makes sense,” said Price.
