The statistics are sobering, drink driving is a factor in 18-20% of all fatal accidents in NSW and it’s estimated that illegal drugs are present in around the same numbers. What might surprise you is fatigue accounts for more than 20-30% of all fatal crashes and severe injuries.

A driver who has been awake for over 17-19 hours has the same driving ability as an individual with a blood-alcohol level of 0.05% and therefore double the risk of having an accident.

The cost of road incidents in Australia is an estimated $27 billion per annum. Of this, fatigue related road incidents cost workers, families and the Australian economy $3 billion each year.

Whether you’re using over the counter or prescription drugs, or simply fatigued, impairment increases your risk of being involved in a serious and potentially fatal road incident.

During this session we’ll explore some of the statistics and then participate in a hands-on workshop where we’ll get to feel the effects of impairment derived from the use of prescription drugs, fatigue, alcohol and illegal drugs.

This tactile experience is not to be missed!

Process flows for fleet vehicle remarketing are undergoing change to enhance efficiency, improve net return to sellers and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

There is now ample evidence to show that upstream selling of fleet vehicles enhances net returns to sellers by eliminating costly elements of the post vehicle termination remarketing.

Upstream selling is not hard to achieve it simply requires a change in mindset and a real desire to deliver greater efficiency within the fleet management remarketing process.

This session will show examples of what can be achieved by focusing upstream. Even if you simply return the vehicle to your fleet management organisation, upstreaming your inspections will still save you money.

Almost all new passenger vehicles come standard with safety features such as airbags, stability control, and Advanced Driver Assist Systems such as autonomous braking and adaptive cruise control. Fleet vehicles must be fit for purpose to ensure safety of the users and provide an efficient work platform, which often means customisation and accessorising. But what is the impact on this new technology when modifying the base vehicle?

In this presentation you will hear about the different types of vehicle technology and how they function to perform the role of a safety system. You will also hear about the aftermarket product development process and testing protocols for those systems and how they are integrated with the base vehicle.

Speaker: Darren Gore, General Manager, Summit Fleet Leasing and Management

Monitoring fleet KPI’s is an integral part of the efficient management of vehicles however the effective use of KPI’s is limited by timely data and your ability to access

and interrogate it.

The role of a KPI is to put in place a metric that highlights when processes are operating according to plain, going wrong or going better than expected. That’s awesome but what do you use as a benchmark? This session will explore a range of KPI’s, the challenges of data and where to source your benchmarks from.

Remember, you can’t improve it, if you’re not measuring it!

While an RFP (request for proposal) is the key method to efficiently gather information for a bid, fleet managers need to make sure they are asking the right questions and getting the right information so they can make an informed decision to pick the right solution/supplier.

There are several techniques that can be used to make sure that an RFP leads to a mutually beneficial outcome for the fleet and the supplier. This session will look at what makes a successful RFP, the things you need to know before you go to the market.

It’s often-said Fleet Managers are becoming Mobility Managers whilst almost every supplier of products and or services claim to be mobility providers. What does it all mean?

With a little help from a global case study we’ll unpack mobility to its core elements. This global player operates across developed and not so developed countries and successfully built a mobility strategy that is adaptable depending on the transport and systems maturity of each country and sub-region.

This plenary will provide you with absolute clarity on what mobility is and how changing business requirements, transport maturity and flexible policies can reduce costs and emissions.

The fleet and automotive industries are complex and dynamic, not unlike our roles within it. Our ability to deliver comes from years of hand on experience and knowledge, however we spend most of our time on the dance floor rather than choreographing the moves.

It’s time to take stock, assess and evaluate how you make a difference in the lives of your team and your family. But as they say on the planes, if an oxygen mask drops from the ceiling, put yours on first, before helping others. Our keynote speaker will not only inspire you but equipment you to grow, focus and be the best version of yourself.

Before you can understand the impact of weight on a vehicle you must first understand the jargon. Do you know what each of these are and how to calculate if a vehicle and or trailer is over loaded?

TARE, FRONT GALR, GTM, KERB, REAR GALR, UNBRAKED CAPACITY, GVM TOWBALL DOWNLOAD, BRAKED CAPACITY, PAYLOAD, ATM, GCM

Carrying extra weight from accessories, cargo load and towing all affect the entire dynamic characteristics of a vehicle. Whilst vehicle performance and handling are affected by speed, weight, load distribution and road surface. Any increase or decrease in weight, increase or decrease in speed, the pitch and roll will all effect the responsiveness of the vehicle and its ability to react safely in various situations.

Beyond the explanations of weight and its characteristics we’ll showcase a world first Weight Matrix ™ software designed to allow fleet operators to test different weight scenarios incorporating different vehicles, accessories, cargo load and towing.

This interactive presentation will explore the reasons why understanding vehicle weight is important and how to keep your fleet and drivers safe.

Many organisations have the ambition to be carbon neutral and with vehicle emissions accounting for 18% of Australia’s emissions, the emissions of their fleets are perhaps their biggest stumbling block. This session will highlight the potential path to becoming carbon neutral.

It’s not as simple as replacing all internal combustion engines and diesel vehicles with electric vehicles because in many cases there is no EV equivalent. There is however a range of options available to reduce vehicle emissions and put your goal of becoming carbon neutral within reach.

• Shaun Janks, CEO, DingGo.com.au
• Eden Shirley, CEO, AutoGuru
• Drew Schnehage, Managing Director, Innovation Group

The primary goal of fleet management is to provide an organisation with vehicles to deliver products and or services as cost effective and as safe as possible, hence the reason for this session. Technology, technology, technology! Everything is possible however it requires an organisations willingness to challenge their norms and of course knowledge, effort and a little money.

In this session you’ll hear from 3 organisations whose technology is designed to reduce your operating costs, increase safety outcomes and make your world a better place.

January 2020 marked the start of a new decade and a change in ANCAP criteria for vehicle brands to achieve the highly coveted five-star ANCAP safety rating.

The changes introduce tougher requirements for occupant and vulnerable road user protection as well as a vehicle’s ability to avoid a crash.

During this session you’ll hear why ANCAP criteria has again been broadened, and the new safety features entering the market through ANCAP’s encouragement – features such as driver monitoring, rescue cards, centre airbags and reverse AEB.

Remember, your vehicle purchasing and use decisions impact the safety of your employees in their mobile workplace as well as the future owners of those vehicles when passed on at end of your ownership.

Modelling produced by climate scientist Bill Hare for the Australian Conservation Foundation shows emissions from transport are climbing fast and are projected to be 82% higher in 2030 than they were in 1990.

Despite this, the Government had not made a decision on “how or when” standards to cut carbon pollution from vehicles might be implemented. We cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that transport accounts for 18% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, making it the

second largest source.

Whilst there is a lack of clear direction by the federal government, industry and state governments are getting on with the heavy lifting. This session will review Government’s policy decisions on vehicle emissions and focus on the positive actions of industry and various state governments.
