PERTH, Australia, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 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."
