Drive smarter. Use less fuel. Win rewards.
Do you drive a work-provided vehicle at Programmed?
From 1 February 2026, we're excited to launch our Work and Smile Fuel Economy Challenge for Programmed employees with work-provided vehicles - if you’re one of these employees, you’re automatically in.
The challenge is designed to help us all become more aware of how small changes in driving habits and vehicle setup can make a big difference to fuel use, emissions, and our business’ commitment to sustainable practices.
How it works
From 1 February to 31 July 2026, we’ll be tracking fuel efficiency improvements for work vehicles using fuel data supplied by Orix (via Ampol) and EROAD. You must ensure that you provide an accurate odometer reading when refueling.
Each month, we’ll recognise drivers who achieve the greatest improvement in fuel economy compared to the previous month, sharing the results with all of our Programmed drivers.
There are monthly prizes up for grabs, plus a major prize valued at up to $1,500 to be awarded at the end of the challenge in August. Prizes will be awarded to greatest improvements in both Australia and New Zealand.
You can find more information about the challenge with our FAQ linked below.
