UK Driver League 2007 - Presentations to UK Winners

For the past five years FleetBoard have run a Driver of the Year competition open to all of their fleets throughout Europe. The results are determined by the FleetBoard driver grading system which rewards the most economic, anticipatory and safe driving styles.
Last year for the first time, UK drivers were displayed in a UK league, as well as the full International league, and FleetBoard UK awarded a trophy for the UK Driver of the Year 2007 and UK Fleet of the Year 2007.
Two presentations were made on the FleetBoard section of the Mercedes-Benz stand on the opening day of this year's Commercial Vehicle Show.

21st Century Logistics were presented with the 'UK Fleet of the Year 2007' trophy which they won with an average driver grading of 8.59 and an average degree of difficulty of 5.2 over the four week competition period.
