The new era of the Australian Rally Championship (ARC) has received a major boost to start 2025 with EROAD expanding its support to become the championship’s naming rights partner.
In a deal spanning multiple years, the nation’s premier rally category will now be proudly presented as the EROAD Australian Rally Championship – the move further illustrating the fleet telematics solutions provider’s ongoing support of the ARC.
Having first backed the ARC in 2021, EROAD went on to enjoy a number of seasons as a significant sponsor of the championship — eventually backing the highly esteemed Power Stage in 2022 and 2023 before becoming the official partner of all live content last year.
In addition to its unwavering support for the ARC during the past four seasons, EROAD provided ARC events with its state-of-the-art EROAD Clarity Dashcams, which increased safety benefits by allowing organisers to see incidents in real time, while also enhancing judicial procedures at each round.
Founded in New Zealand at the turn of the century, EROAD is a leading provider of fleet management, compliance, and road user charging solutions, dedicated to making transportation safer, more efficient, and sustainable – becoming a global leader within the industry to maintain a presence across a handful of continents including Australia, Asia, North America and Europe.
Its innovative technology allows both local businesses and governments to easily manage vehicle fleets at reduced operational costs, overcome logistical challenges, and implement environmental sustainability initiatives, while also improving safety and compliance with regulatory requirements.
EROAD’s Executive General Manager ANZ, Konrad Stempniak was excited the organisation was able to increase its support of the ARC in 2025.
“We are excited to extend our long-standing partnership with the Australian Rally Championship in 2025 as naming rights partner,” Stempniak said.
“We’re also proud to continue our technology partnership as the official fleet dashcam of the ARC 2025.”
“We believe this partnership aligns perfectly with EROAD’s commitment to improving fleet driver safety and reducing harm on our roads. Whether you’re driving for work or sport, it all comes down to a shared respect for the road and each other – a value that resonates deeply with both ARC and EROAD.
“We’ve been continuously impressed by the professionalism and dedication of ARC and the drivers, not only to growing the sport, but to the safety and enjoyment of everyone involved.
“We look forward to working with the whole team again as we ramp up for the 2025 season.”
ARC Championship Manager, Adrian Coppin thanked EROAD for its continued support of the championship.
“EROAD has proven itself as a longtime supporter of the ARC and has played a role in its significant growth in the past few years, so it’s quite fitting it has upgraded to the major title sponsor of the championship in 2025 and beyond,” Coppin said.
“As we enter a new chapter in this championship’s rich illustrious history, it’s extremely reassuring to know we have a supporter as stable as EROAD, as well as having an organisation that believes in the direction we are heading in.
“Having EROAD on board as both a partner and the provider of its Clarity Dashcams has had a positive impact on the ARC already, and I have no doubt this new deal will continue to benefit the championship.
“I’d like to thank Konrad (Stempniak) and the entire team at EROAD for their continued support of the ARC, and we are excited to work alongside them for the coming years.”
The EROAD Australian Rally Championship season will hold six rounds in 2025 with the season to kick off in the nation’s capital with Rally of Canberra on 21-23 March.
