Commercial motor insurer Zego has teamed up with road safety charity Brake to help reduce road risk and promote safer driving among the fleet community.

CEO Sten Saar said the partnership showed Zego’s commitment to driving road safety

Zego will use and promote resources and tools developed by Brake to help fleets manage their road risk and advise them on road safety measures that could reduce the likelihood of their drivers being involved in a collision.

The partnership will also enable the insurer to support the charity’s vital work caring for people bereaved and injured in road crashes as well as its broader campaigns around safer driving.

Sten Saar, chief executive at Zego, said: “Brake’s tireless campaigning on road safety means there is no better organisation for us to partner with as we continue to promote safer driving among fleets. The future of mobility is immensely exciting and brings with it opportunities for further innovation and advancement. However, it also brings risks that could seriously harm businesses, their staff, and the wider public.

“As a commercial motor insurer, we believe we have a responsibility to play our part in creating a safer transport ecosystem and partnering with Brake helps us demonstrate how serious we are about this.”

Ross Moorlock, Brake chief operating officer, said the road safety charity was delighted to have Zego’s support.

“It’s vital that drivers and fleets are equipped with the tools that will enable them to manage road risks better, and we’re pleased to see organisations like Zego providing fleet managers with data-led insights into drivers’ behaviours and encouraging safer behaviour on the road to reduce the likelihood of a collision.”
