Fleet Forum

       

      The Fleet Forum is the first independent knowledge centre within the international aid and development community that is focused on issues surrounding humanitarian fleets. The Fleet Forum was founded in 2003 in order to support humanitarian organizations to improve and professionalize the management of vehicle fleets. The Fleet Forum is managed by the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, UN World Food Programme, World Vision International, Care and TNT.

       
      As humanitarian activities are expanding worldwide, aid organizations nowadays have a growing need for safe, clean and efficient transport capacity. Well managed fleet will have a positive impact on the delivery of aid and development programmes. The Fleet Forum develops practical tools and programmes which support members to improve road safety, reduce the environmental impact of transport and make transport operations more (cost) effective.
       
      For TNT Express, participating in Fleet Forum is important as it links directly to our core activities and often pertains to countries where our operations grow. For example, in India – the country with the highest number of road accidents - Fleet Forum started a road safety project in 2010, which trained management and staff of aid and development organisations such as WHO and UNICEF on how to reduce the risk of being involved in a traffic accident.
