Athlon Road Safety

Road Safety

Every year there are thousands of fatalities or seriously injuries caused by accidents on EU roads and in 95% of cases, the fault lies in human error.

    Every road accident is one too many.

    Every road accident is one too many.

    As a mobility provider, we have the expertise, knowledge and understanding to make a real difference in this sphere, and we intend to keep road safety at the heart of everything we do.

    Every year there are thousands of fatalities or seriously injuries caused by accidents on EU roads and in 95% of cases, the fault lies in human error. In fact, in 2019 alone there were 22,800 fatalities.

    The good news? There were 4,000 fewer lives lost on EU roads in 2020. The bad news? That’s still far too many.

    The road to zero

    It’s our ambition to reduce the number of road accidents resulting in physical injury to the driver or a third party, caused by an Athlon vehicle. That’s why road safety is one of the main pillars of our Five-Step Mobility Plan. It is also an important part of our Sustainability & CSR strategy.
