How modern securities protect fleet operators’ most important assets

Vehicle tracking also has the benefit of reducing business costs when utilised correctly.

Issuing policy and tracking realistically addresses speeding, excessive engine idling and fuel efficiency, which will save cost on all aspects of a vehicle’s maintenance, including service, tyre degradation, as well as major component failure and fuel expenditure.

It is important to recognise that these days technology is advancing at a quicker pace than ever before, making future-proofing essential.

Plan what you want to achieve and acquire a product that isn’t potentially obsolete as soon as you’ve fitted it.

There are of course non-technological tactics that can support security practices, such as ‘random’ drug testing and issuing policy documents, both of which have the potential to raise awareness among drivers, and have been proven to significantly reduce risk.

Ultimately, the best approach to ensuring safety is strong cooperation between employers and operatives.

You can’t control or govern what an individual does in his own time, but employees have a responsibility to come to work capable of carrying out their duties.

Equally, an employer has a responsibility to support and protect their most valuable assets – their drivers.
