Summary
Mace Hartley
Executive Director
AfMA is delighted to provide our 3rd FleetDrive
edition for 2020 to you as an educational
resource to deepen your understanding
and awareness of the issues affecting fleet
management and the automotive profession.
We might be entering the winter period,
but things are certainly warming up for the
automotive industry as we begin our slow
journey back to normal.
It’s exciting to see 27 salespeople register to
become accredited by AfMA in the first 10
days of June. They will complete four online
courses in their learning path to becoming an
accredited member of AfMA.
1. Handling conflict & negotiations ethically
2. Chain of Responsibility
3. Work health & Safety and the Mobile
Workplace
4. Risk & Hazard Management and the Mobile
Workplace
100% of people who’ve completed the
learning believe it will assist them in becoming
a trusted business advisor to their customers
and recommend the learning path to any
salesperson operating in the automotive and
fleet industries.
This edition includes an update on the road to
recovery out of COVID-19, top tips to get you
through tax time, a Q&A with ANCAP about
the ongoing changes within their safety testing
programs, plus another timely reminder about
the future of vehicle technology. Plus we check
in for an update about what’s happening in
your state and around the world too.
If you’re looking to provide your work health
and safety committee with information that will
assist their performance, perhaps guide them
towards AfMA’s new online courses covering
Chain of Responsibility, WH&S in the Mobile
Workplace and Risk and Hazard Management
and the Mobile Workplace. They’re only
$55 each for members and participants can
download resources for future knowledge. In
these socially distant times, e-learning has
become even more important than ever before
so make the most of these opportunities as
you and your team work remotely.
On that theme, we’re excited to announce our
upcoming webinar for Thursday June 18, which
will feature attendees from right around the
globe and provide insight on how your vehicle
values will be affected by the recent economic
downturn. We will hear from 3 industry experts
and provide you ample opportunity to have
your burning questions answered live, so too
make sure to block out time to join us for this
free event.
Preparations remain in place for our 2020
Australasian Fleet Conference & Exhibition on
November 9-10 in Melbourne. The climate
