Mr Koniditsiotis said, “The freight industry continues to be at the forefront of technology adoption.”
“The Application of Technology Award provides a way to publicly recognise the efforts made by individuals, groups or organisations to deliver improved outcomes through the use of technology.”
“The Award commemorates the indelible mark Shaun Owen’s passion and commitment has left on the industry and recognises these qualities in the recipient.”
“Nominations for the Application of Technology Award are always closely contested, highlighting how the Australian freight industry continues to innovate through the use of technology to deliver improved transport safety and productivity,” Mr Koniditsiotis said.
