Rearview mirrors, appropriate head movement, and active visual scanning of the road environment: use them all to your maximum advantage as defensive driving techniques to reduce the likelihood of side and rear collisions.
CEI has added a new online fleet driver safety lesson to its DriverCare accident prevention application. Entitled, “Rearview Defensive Driving,” its goal is to help fleet drivers avoid rear-end and lane-change collisions, which remain among the most common kinds of traffic accidents.
The five-minute module comes with a five-question test, and covers the following topics:
Fleet Logistics, Europe’s largest independent fleet management provider, closed last year with a contracted fleet of more than 180,000 vehicles and a year-on-year growth rate of almost 25% - and it expects a similar rate of growth this year. That growth should come from existing customers in regions such as Asia and South America, and from new client wins in a variety of new areas.
One of these new areas will be the United States, where the company is making its first tentative move operationally, working with a large international chemical company with a global fleet of around 8,000 vehicles in a first US pilot project.
Tapping into its proven network of salvage buyers, The CEI Group works diligently to get the best price possible for remarketed vehicles.
Work Truck Solutions, the first online platform that enables commercial inventory searches by body type and chassis, recently announced they have been approved to provide automated claims as a part of their Ford Motor Company co-op program.
Those dealers already utilizing the Ford co-op program with Work Truck Solutions will now find it even easier to submit their claim. It only takes four steps for dealers to “opt-in”, which enables Work Truck Solutions to submit the claims to Ford on the dealership’s behalf. Ford will then automatically reimburse the dealer, so they never have to file for co-op reimbursement again.

In our last blog post, we talked about how data-driven insights help drive global fleet management value. But getting a hold of those insights is only the first step.
To actually start getting value from them, you need to turn this knowledge into action. So what skills do you need to do this? And what’s the best way to get them?

When we talk about fleet value, we’re not just talking about direct savings. Putting your insights to use can help you improve productivity, increase vehicle and driver uptime, and keep valued employees on board. That’s real fleet and business value.
