Opening the meeting, the FIA Foundation’s chairman, Carlos Macaya, said: “I am immensely proud of the strategic, innovative and successful role our Foundation has played in designing and leading global policy on both road safety and vehicle fuel efficiency. There is also real focus on delivering road safety programmes that will catalyse change and save lives.”
