BIFA and FleetCheck to boost small truck safety

[ January 12, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

The British International Freight Association has partnered with software firm FleetCheck to help members increase the safety of their car and small van fleets.

BIFA policy and compliance director, Pawel Jarza, said that while members were very strong on compliance trucks over 3.5 tonnes that require an Operator’s Licence, they were seeking more guidance on smaller vehicles.

He said: “Ensuring safe operation of larger vans and trucks of all kinds is very much a cornerstone of operations for companies involved in freight movement, and the standards we see throughout BIFA are extremely high. However, smaller vans and cars are a much less regulated area, and it is here we believe there is demand from our members for information and practical help that will help to promote safety and ultimately reduce incidents.

FleetCheck will produce a new guide to fleet safety fundamentals customised to the organisation’s needs and organise a fleet safety webinar.
