The Australasian Fleet Management Association (AfMA) and Brake, the road safety charity are encouraging organisations with at-work drivers to attend a forthcoming seminar on fleet management.
Sponsored by Teletrac Navman, the event will cover topics affecting fleets from safety to technology and the environment.
The Future of Fleets is Here seminar takes place on Thursday October 19 in Auckland.
Brake and AfMA say it can be challenging for fleets to keep up with the latest developments in fleet management, but having effective policies and procedures in place is important to meet safety and environmental, as well as business, goals.
The two organisations say the seminar will look at some of the current challenges facing fleets, as well as opportunities in relation to safety, technology, the environment, and fleet management.
The event is open to anyone involved in, or with an interest in, fleet management, such as health and safety staff, fleet managers, senior management staff, fleet suppliers, insurers, and driver training providers.
Speakers will discuss topics including:
- current challenges and opportunities for the fleet management industry
- developments in technology
- creating a safety culture
- driver impairment and how to mitigate risk
- fleets and the environment.
Following the seminar, in the evening, Brake is hosting the 2023 Australasian Fleet Champions Awards at the same venue, recognising organisations that have implemented measures to reduce their road risk.
Tickets to the seminar cost just $95+GST per person. Combined tickets to attend both the seminar and Fleet Champions Awards cost $175+GST each. To register, book online, or email info@brake.org.nz.

“We’re delighted to be working with AfMA to bring fleet professionals a seminar covering some essential current fleet management topics. This seminar is designed for organisations operating fleets of any size and type, and with any size of budget, and I urge anyone with staff who drive on work purposes to attend,” Brake NZ director Caroline Perry says.
“AfMA organises regular seminars but we especially enjoy heading over to Auckland to connect with our NZ-based members and supporters,” AfMA director Mace Hartley says.
“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,” he says.
