Mercedes-Benz Vans has teamed up with the Freight Transport Association (FTA) and FleetCheck to offer compliance software for small to medium fleets.
Dubbed Fleet Safe and including a mobile app, the solution enables recording of walkaround checks as well as holding details including MOT, insurance and RFL dates. It can also offer access to company policies, and can even include fuel purchase and mileage capture.
Fleet Safe can highlight the status of a van at a glance, using a traffic light system. It also provides access to the FTA’s van information flows and Guide to Van Excellence. In addition, Mercedes-Benz Vans customers will have access to the FTA advice service to ensure they always remain compliant and in control.
Users of Fleet Safe will also be able to activate a remote FTA Van Excellence audit for fleets of up to 30 vans after three months.
Andy Eccles, head of business development, Mercedes-Benz Vans, said: “Our Fleet Safe software offers our customers an easy way to keep on top of all fleet-related tasks and responsibilities, helping them to manage compliance and operate safely at all times with its visual alerts and email notifications, keeping vehicles where they should be – out on the road, earning their keep.”
The solution is free for the first year to customers operating between 25 and 250 vans who have purchased a new Mercedes-Benz van while customers using Mercedes-Benz Financial Services to finance vehicles get complementary access for three years.For more of the latest industry news, click here.
