Covid-19 has left many UK businesses exposed to greater risk on the roads, and with reduced ability to cut operating costs as they fight their way back to recovery, a new survey has revealed.

Covid-19 has left many UK businesses exposed to greater risk on the roads, and with reduced ability to cut operating costs as they fight their way back to recovery, a new survey has revealed.

The survey marks the launch of a Department for Transport-backed Benchmarking partnership programme between Driving for Better Business (DfBB), Roadsafe and Fleet News. Based on gap analysis from DfBB’s Online Risk Assessment tool, the initiative pinpoints where companies are failing to meet critical operating standards and allows them to track improvements – and their performance – against other organisations.

Findings and advice from the programme will be published each month in Fleet News, helping fleets to identify the areas of operation they need to prioritise for improvement.
