Arriva plc has won a Company Driver Safety Award at the annual Fleet Safety Awards presented by the road safety charity Brake. The Award was given due to the 62% reduction in accidents Arriva achieved in the first year of installing 21st Century’s EcoManager to its North West fleet. In addition to the Brake Company Driver Safety Award, Arriva was highly commended in the Eco Fleet category for the 12.1% fuel savings achieved through the 21st Century EcoManager system.
EcoManager is an economy management device that can significantly contribute to effective commercial fleet management. For any transport operator, it is important to consider methods that can contribute to fuel saving, improving road safety for both drivers and passengers while simultaneously aid in reducing carbon emissions.
Utilising EcoManager can help in achieving all three of these goals. Firstly, it has been proven to aid in the area of fuel saving by reducing vehicle fuel costs by upto 12% and seen considerable reductions in vehicle maintenance costs.
