Altrad is introducing the Michelin Connected Fleet suite of solutions to further improve driver safety while also reducing CO2 emissions.
The support services provider will roll out Michelin Connected Fleet region by region across its van fleet over the next year, gaining insights on driver behaviour and helping to reduce accident rates.
The technology will also assist in the transition to electric vehicles, supporting Altrad’s decarbonisation programme to reduce CO2 emissions.
Matthew Hammond, head of fleet & plant at Altrad, said: “We are committed to continually improving the safety of our fleet and Michelin Connected Fleet is the right partner to help us engage with our drivers. Whilst most of our journeys are good, we’re looking at how we can enhance our performance to be even better.
“Our objective is to gain greater visibility of what our vans are doing, on a day-to-day basis whilst empowering our drivers to improve and be more disciplined by utilising Michelin Connected Fleet’s driver behaviour tools and in-cab coaching techniques.”
Altrad had already trialled some of Michelin Connected Fleet’s services for different projects over recent years and has now switched away from its previous telematics partner in a move to gain a more integrated and comprehensive approach to fleet management.
Hammond added: “We also recognise a range of other benefits for our business, including optimising fleet utilisation, better fuel economy and assisting Altrad in reducing CO2 emissions across our fleet.”
