Fleets and organisations at the pinnacle of eco innovation have until next Monday to enter for the Energy Saving Trust’s 2019 Fleet Heroes Awards.

Organisations have until next Monday 30 September to enter for the 2019 Fleet Heroes Awards

The flagship event – taking place on 28 November at the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square – celebrates organisations that are delivering a cleaner and more efficient future for transport.

It’s accompanied by the Fleet Heroes Conference, which brings together transport experts, business and government to discuss fleet sustainability and innovation, low-emission vehicles and air quality.

Organisations have a wide variety of awards available to enter, including the Smarter Business Travel Hero award, which will recognise an organisation that is reducing the impact of their business travel and positively influencing their drivers to reduce carbon and nitrogen dioxide emissions.

New for 2019, the Sustainable Deliveries Hero accolade highlights the work by organisations to improve the efficiency and sustainability of delivery or collection services.

Meanwhile, the Innovation Hero title gives organisations a chance to be recognised for developments of innovative products or services that reduce carbon emissions or air pollution, or which present a novel solution to a transport/travel challenge.

And a further four accolades will also be presented (see full list here), ensuring there’s an award for every size and type of fleet.

However, entrants need to hurry; the deadline for applications is Monday 30 September.

The awards are free to enter and free to attend, and will be held following this year’s Fleet Heroes conference, which is supported by the Department for Transport and spotlights the latest fleet and transport industry eco developments.

The event will bring together transport experts, prominent businesses and government representatives, and includes a mix of informative presentations and lively discussions – confirmed items on the agenda include sessions on the electrification of cities and fleets.

As with the awards, the conference is free to attend – with bookings open now.
