What is Fleet Training?
Fleet Training is an extremely cost-effective provision which can quickly reduce your Company’s fleet costs with other added benefits. It saves you money!
Company car and van drivers are involved in about one in every three serious road collisions, and every week around 200 road deaths and serious injuries involve fleet / business drivers. The cost to businesses runs into millions and will include:
» vehicle repairs & down time
» insurance premiums & cost of claims
» time off work for drivers with possible claims for injury, loss of earnings etc
» missed deadlines
» damage to corporate image
In addition to benefits relating to actual crashes, there are other benefits to consider:
» Eco Safe driving reducing fuel consumption typically around 10%
» Reduced maintenance requirement through improved vehicle sympathy
» Less insurance claims reducing insurance costs
» Improved company image
Approximately one in three of the 3 million company cars on the roads will be involved in a collision every year. About 30% of all crashes involve a ‘driver at work’.
The Health & Safety at Work Act, Corporate Manslaughter legislation and case law all mean that employers must consider what risks their employees are involved with – even when they are driving.

» Free initial consultations with your Company’s Fleet manager or HR etc
» Advice and practical assistance with creating, developing and monitoring an effective Car Policy for your Company
