A BUS firm is celebrating after 200 of its team scooped awards for safe driving.
The drivers at Transdev in Yorkshire achieved ‘Fleet Elite’ status for their smooth and safe skills behind the wheel.
The coveted awards are handed out by telematics company ‘GreenRoad’, which records driver performance remotely using its Eco Driver equipment installed on every Transdev bus.
The news means nearly one in five of the bus firm’s drivers has reached high standards set by the globally recognised scheme – with Transdev’s teams achieving the highest rise in award winners in Britain among companies of its size.
Transdev operations director Vitto Pizzuti said: “I’m delighted at these excellent results achieved by our amazing teams across Yorkshire. GreenRoad rightly sets high standards and our colleagues have certainly risen to the challenge with a 59 per cent rise in the number of our drivers recognised as reaching ‘Fleet Elite’ status."
