Recognizing Fleet Excellence Since 1996

The Australasian Fleet Management Association supports innovation and excellence in Fleet Management. The AfMA Fleet Awards seek to identify advances in best practice in Fleet Management and to bring these to the attention of its members and the industry. Since their introduction in 1996, the awards have recognized new approaches and applications that have produced substantial reductions in costs, lowered emissions, and improved safety outcomes. Drawing attention to advances in fleet management techniques, the application of technology, fleet safety and raising awareness of the fleets’ impact on the environment, the Awards have inspired many to begin their own voyage towards best practice.
