Johannesburg — Five of the mobility sector’s leading names have joined forces with the Fleet Safety Awards 2025, marking a significant milestone in the initiative’s fourth edition. This year’s headline partnerships reflect the growing recognition that fleet safety is not just a regulatory requirement but a cornerstone of operational excellence.
The calibre of support from Castrol, FNB, Motor Accident Group, Santam Heavy Haulage Insurance, and Tracker speaks volumes about the importance of recognising and rewarding safety-first practices. According to Eugene Herbert, CEO of MasterDrive, “These partnerships represent more than sponsorship—they are a statement about the value these organisations place on recognising and rewarding safety-first practices. As we bring together leaders from diverse mobility subsectors, we are building momentum for meaningful change. Their involvement signals to the entire industry that fleet safety is not optional—it is fundamental to responsible business practice.”
A particularly noteworthy partner returning this year is Santam Heavy Haulage Insurance, whose ongoing collaboration highlights a shared commitment to advancing exceptional performance in fleet safety. The Business Head of Santam Heavy Haulage, Anton Cornelissen, commented, “The initiative aligns closely with our values, as we believe every driver deserves to work in a safe environment. Road safety is everyone’s responsibility and requires close collaboration with all organisations connected to it. We are impressed by the growing number of participants who understand their contribution to safety on our roads. By sharing your commitment to road safety, it not only elevates industry standards but inspires others to follow suit. Let’s work together to pave the way for a safer future on our roads.”
