Supporting Road Safety National Crash Test Event

A team from Cemex UK recently supported the Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators (ITAI) during their prestigious Crash Test and Research Day, held on Thursday 3rd July at Darley Moor in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.

As a global leader in traffic accident investigation, the ITAI event attracted over 400 attendees, including police units, forensic traffic incident examiners from the Metropolitan Police and county forces, as well as independent road safety experts.

Our own Drivers, Darrell Collins and Steve Coles, played a key role throughout the day offering attendees a hands-on Cemex driving experience. They showcased the enhanced visibility and advanced safety features of our latest fleet vehicles—equipped with 360-degree cameras, radar systems, and collision avoidance technology designed to protect vulnerable road users.

Supporting the event was Nigel Ponton, Cemex Fleet Engineering Manager, who highlighted the critical role of these innovations. He emphasised the importance of improved driver vision, aligned with the latest Direct Vision Standards, and the integration of cutting-edge safety systems across all new vehicles.

This event provided a valuable opportunity to demonstrate Cemex’s ongoing commitment to road safety and innovation in front of a highly influential audience.
