IPWEA Fleet Management Certificate goes from strength to strength

With the latest round of COVID-19 lockdowns around the country, IPWEA has taken the decision to transfer this year’s planned face-to-face Fleet Management Workshops to a virtual event. We were all looking forward to getting back out in the field and catching up with everyone again, but restrictions on interstate travel have made this untenable.

Instead, we will be running a Virtual Fleet Management Workshop on Tuesday 26 October 2021. The program will still cover the same range of professional development sessions and important industry updates. It is more critical than ever that the fleet community continues to come together, share challenges, and grow professionally. The virtual format will ensure we can continue to deliver this important program no matter where you are. We’ll keep you informed as planning for the Virtual Fleet Management Workshop develops.

Improved environmental performance is front and centre for the fleet industry with vehicle manufacturers in many ways defining what the future of fleet management will look like. Transitioning to EVs is on the to-do list of many fleet managers. But what about other environmental initiatives such as travel planning, environmental driving, waste reduction initiatives and environmental procurement? IPWEA FLEET are undertaking a survey on Sustainable Fleet Management to get a clear understanding of what the industry is doing. We’ll be sharing the outcomes of the survey at the Virtual Fleet Management Workshop in October. Look out for the survey in your inbox soon.
