The Excellence in Road Safety Awards 2022 is an annual opportunity to recognise the contributions of our community of members towards the common goal of improved road safety across Europe.

This year’s winner in the Professional Drivers category is ACCIONA Energía (Spain) for their incredible work on the Drive Safe Program. We would like to extend our congratulations for their hard work in making roads safer!

ACCIONA Energía committed to introducing its Drive Safe programme across their global organisation to reduce traffic incidents through driver training, vehicle equipment, and facility safety.
