The programme will take place over the next 12 months and will see a minimum of 12 training courses and workshops held at different locations throughout the world.

The training and workshops will focus on improving road safety, cost effectiveness, and environmental performance of fleets by providing fleet managers with state-of-the-art tools and knowledge for managing their fleet. The content for these training courses and workshops has been specifically developed to make fleet operations more cost efficient and effective, to increase staff safety, and to reduce the environmental impact of fleet operations.

The customised training and workshops will target middle and senior level managers at companies, governmental agencies and departments, humanitarian organisations, non-governmental organisations and others.

Fleet Forum and IRF said they are ‘confident that this training and workshops will contribute to the goals of improving road safety and reducing the adverse carbon footprint of fleet operations’.
