Pentalver has saved more than £50,000 a year by improving driver behaviour.
Following the introduction of a performance improvement programme using the Webfleet system from TomTom Telematics, fuel efficiency has increased from 8.5mpg to 9.6mpg per vehicle across its fleet of 107 trucks in Cannock.
OptiDrive 360, a feature of Webfleet, scores drivers on a range of performance indicators from fuel consumption and speeding and idling to gear shifting. Drivers at Pentalver receive a quarterly bonus if they hit performance targets.
The company has integrated Webfleet with container transport management system Tops, enabling more accurate scheduling with full fleet and journey time visibility.
Pentalver general manager Nick Matthews said: “Webfleet has given us the tools to introduce the bonus scheme and empowered drivers to optimise their mpg by giving them real-time feedback.
“Idling time has been cut dramatically since we introduced the initiative and we have been able to offer driver training support for those employees who have most needed it.”
