Highlighting its commitment to the environment, TNT just concluded its Drive Me Challenge. The challenge, which this year involved 16 teams from around the world, challenges drivers to drive as fuel efficiently and as safely as possible.

This year’s winner was the team from the Dutch TNT Post organization, which took the top three spots overall in the competition. The teams competed from June through September in their respective countries. The winning drivers in each country then join their operations manager at the Mira Track in the UK for the world competition.
