ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Townsville City Council's win of the 2026 Fleet News Group Safe Fleet Award has significant implications for the way Australian dealers approach fleet safety

The Importance of Telematics

The use of telematics in the council's approach is a key factor in its success, allowing for real-time monitoring and management of fleet vehicles

This technology can be applied to dealers' own fleets, improving safety and reducing costs

Applying the Council's Approach

Australian dealers can apply the council's approach to their own operations by implementing telematics and driver engagement programs

This can help to improve safety, reduce incidents, and improve overall fleet performance
