Apply for the Fleet Europe Awards, because you deserve recognition for your work

With the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, we understand more than ever how important efficient transportation of people and goods is in our daily lives. And with that comes the recognition for corporate fleet and mobility managers who succeed in developing and implementing a vehicle fleet and mobility strategy that responds to the overall business objectives, securing cost-efficient, safe, green and employee-friendly mobility.

That recognition will again be celebrated with the 2020 Fleet Europe Awards for fleet and mobility managers. Since 2007 Fleet Europe has rewarded the best and most innovative achievements of the international fleet and mobility manager community.

Six categories reward professionalism among international fleet and mobility managers.

You, too, could go home with one of the coveted prizes, because your deserve it and you can be proud of what you, your colleagues and company have achieved.

This year, the Fleet Europe Awards ceremony takes place on 18 November in Dublin, Ireland. It’s the climax of the 2020 Fleet Europe Summit, the industry rendezvous fleet professionals cannot afford to miss.

So, put aside your modesty and apply for one of the following award categories.
