Road safety partnership Roadsafe is revealing its “Driving for Better Business” campaign, with Mercedes-Benz contributing its Sprinter Safety Van as an example of safe fleet equipment.
The CV Show also saw the launch of the “Business Champions” programme, a government- backed scheme which underpins Driving for Better Business. The aim of both initiatives is to cut the numbers killed or injured on
The campaign will start in September and run until 2009, with its initial focus on van drivers and the home delivery sector. The sub 3.5-tonne sector has been chosen because it is the most rapidly expanding with a net increase of 170,000 vehicles per year.
M-B claims the Sprinter Safety Van is equipped with some of the most advanced active and passive safety systems on the market. Tesco and Ford are also foundation members of the programme.
