The aim of this report is to quantify the potential economic benefits of fleet managers adopting safe vehicle purchasing policies. Benefits to society as a whole, as well as the benefits to the owners of commercial fleets, were estimated through consideration of a number of scenarios of potential fleet purchasing options. The scenarios consider the purchase of specific safety related technologies on vehicles, the purchase of more crashworthy vehicles in general and options for changing the market group of vehicles purchased.
