Potential for zero road fatalities grows

DEKRA, a vehicle inspection company founded in Germany, has presented the findings of its 2015 Road Safety Report at the International Transport Forum (27-29 May 2015) where transport ministers, business leaders, researchers and key sector representatives gathered in Leipzig, Germany, to discuss mobility trends, issues, and solutions.

Clemens Klinke, Member of the Board of DEKRA, highlighted the concept of 'Vision Zero'. This concept addresses the goal of 100% safe arrivals and zero fatalities. Overall, Klinke suggests: “We are still a relatively long way away from realising this vision,” but adds that it is within reach.
