Plant hire firm slashes car & CV fuel costs by more than £50k

Following the introduction of TomTom Telematics’ WEBFLEET fleet management solution to underpin a performance improvement programme, the firm has seen fuel efficiency soar across its mixed fleet of HGVs, vans and cars.

Garic’s delivery drivers receive a weekly bonus if they hit agreed performance targets for fuel consumption.

“WEBFLEET was essential for us to introduce the bonus scheme as it gave us the tools to monitor performance and to demonstrate the optimum mpg our drivers could achieve,” said Garic logistics manager Phil Hibbert.

Giles Margerison, director at TomTom Telematics, commented: “With greener and safer driving a key priority for fleet managers, our focus has continued on equipping them with the tools to continually improve driver behaviour. The recently launched OptiDrive 360 reporting tool offers a fully integrated approach, allowing fleet operators and drivers to learn, coach, compare and evaluate driver behaviour more accurately than ever before.”
