MiX Telematics joins National Road Safety Week 2021 as a Major Sponsor
PERTH, Australia, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

MiX Telematics has joined with the road safety leader Safer Australian Roads 
and Highways (SARAH) to promote road safety initiatives across our nation. 

"With the launch of this year's National Road Safety Week only weeks away, 
there could not be a better time to talk about how MiX Telematics' solutions 
can provide a significantly positive impact to reducing death and serious 
injuries on our roads and highways," said Peter Frazer, SARAH President.

"Road Safety is at the core of our being at MiX and we are pleased to enter 
into this exciting new partnership, which aligns with our purpose in delivering 
meaningful information to our customers that creates safer roads, a cleaner 
planet and improved efficiencies. National Road Safety Week is an excellent 
platform providing a national focus on the pivotal topic of road safety, 
something that our Australian and New Zealand team and customers care deeply 
about. It further resonates on a global scale to our greater team and customer 
base, aligning with the UN Global Road Safety week initiative taking place at 
the same time," says Brodie von Berg, Managing Director MiX Telematics Middle 
East and Australasia.

Peter adds: "The fundamental purpose of both organisations is to ensure that we 
get everyone home safe to their loved ones, every day, with no exceptions! 
Because the promotion of road safety is at the heart of everything we do, SARAH 
could not be prouder of the alignment of our two organisations as we work 
together! And as both SARAH and MiX Telematics have local and global 
footprints, we anticipate that our work together can also influence road safety 
outcomes globally."
