MiX Telematics, a leading global provider of fleet management solutions, and RoadSafety.com, an educational online platform, have partnered to promote insights into road safety for commercial vehicle operators in the region.

MiX Telematics will provide insightful and relevant information on road safety for commercial vehicles, thus empowering decision-makers, operators and drivers to boost safety levels.

This unique collaboration reflects MiX Telematics’s commitment to road safety and supports RoadSafetyUAE’s recent push to reach out to specific segments of road users as well as decision makers in Dubai and across the UAE.

According to Brodie von Berg, head of Sales and Marketing at MiX Telematics Middle East, RoadSafetyUAE has proved to be a respected platform for all stakeholders of road safety, including the general UAE community.

“We support this initiative because it is aligned with our goals and will help evolve road safety in the UAE," he said. “We hope that our partnership with RoadSafetyUAE will make a significant contribution to reduce road accidents and fatalities, especially those involving commercial vehicles. This marks the start of a dialogue with industry players and stakeholders, which we think will bring immense benefit to all road users in the country.”

"We are thrilled to welcome MiX Telematics on board to assist in making the UAE achieve its strategic KPI of the ‘UAE Vision 2021 National Agenda’ as far as reducing road accidents is concerned,” said Thomas Edelmann, founder of RoadSafetyUAE.

“We aim to spread awareness about the importance of safe driving. We are looking forward to the value that a global leader like MiX Telematics will bring to the table. With their unparalleled wealth of expertise, understanding and solutions, we are very confident they will share highly effective and relevant information with the platform's visitors, external stakeholders and decision makers.

"With the increasing number of commercial vehicles on UAE roads, fleet operators are searching for solutions to improve safety. There are many products in the market, but only a few providers that are focused on holistic solutions. We will utilise the platform to educate people in charge of commercial fleets and spread awareness on how fleet management is essential for road safety in the UAE,” he added.

RoadSafetyUAE is not only an educational online platform but also serves to engage with the community, commercial and government stakeholders.
