Road Safety in Algeria: Protect Your Drivers and Reduce Risk on the Road.
Road accidents are the leading cause of death in Algeria. In 2023 alone, Algeria recorded 24,751 road accidents, injuring 33,995 people and causing the death of 3,628 individuals, according to a report by Ahmed Naït El Hocine, Director-General of the National Road Safety Delegation (DNSR).
For businesses, these accidents result in significant downtime and financial losses every year. However, reducing the number of road accidents is achievable through two key factors:
- Driver behaviour on the road
- Vehicle maintenance
In severe accidents, employers may face legal liability. This makes it crucial for companies to ensure that vehicles used for work purposes comply with safety standards and do not endanger drivers.
Geoflotte supports businesses in preventing road risks and reducing claims through several features, including maintenance tracking. Our sales team is here to assist you.

- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases stopping distance, leading to serious accidents. Geoflotte provides real-time alerts to address this behaviour promptly.
- Harsh Braking: Sudden braking, often due to poor anticipation, can damage the vehicle, accelerate wear on tires and brakes, and pose risks to passengers and other road users. Our telematics tools detect these incidents, offering insights to correct driver habits.
- Rapid Acceleration: Aggressive acceleration leads to higher fuel consumption, engine wear, and increased CO2 emissions. Geoflotte analyzes driving data to identify and coach drivers, improving fleet sustainability and efficiency.
