Fleet Management Weekly recently had the opportunity to interview Adam Danielson, Director of Business Development, Supervision, a part of Solera Fleet Solutions.
The company is a leader in providing fleet-safety solutions that permit effective fleet oversight, keep drivers safe, and reduce corporate risk and liability.
There are continually growing challenges for today’s fleet, risk and safety managers. One is the dramatic increase in post-COVID vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Driving distraction remains a tenacious cause of accidents.
Finally, the costs for companies facing driver-related negligent entrustment or vicarious liability judgments grow every year.
eDriving’s digital driver safety program, Mentor, featuring the FICO® Safe Driving Score, helps risky drivers become safer behind the wheel in just six months – and further improves behaviors over longer periods of time – according to findings from an analysis of the program.
The analysis was performed after the program reached the milestone marking 3.5 billion miles driven in Spring 2022.
The eDriving study identified the initial risk level of active [1] business drivers using the Mentor app (i.e., Very High Risk, High Risk, Medium Risk, Low Risk or Very Low Risk [2]), based on their first month’s FICO® Safe Driving Score – a score derived from smartphone-based driving behavior telematics. It then measured progress [3] over periods of six months, 12 months, and 18 months of using the app.
eDrivingSM, a Solera company and a leading provider of digital driver risk management solutions, announced the extension of Mentor’s lifesaving automatic crash detection and personal SOS features with Emergency Response Services to sales, service, and delivery drivers throughout India.
“As a result of the collaboration between eDriving, Bosch and Sfara, organizations in India can protect their employees and contractors 24/7 from such circumstances should a crash occur while driving for work purposes,” said Ed Dubens, CEO/Founder of eDriving.

Fleet Management Weekly sat down several weeks ago with Alex Dimitrijevic, the National Fleet Director for Reviver, to discuss the company's digital license plate, an innovative product changing the game for registration renewals and fleet management.
Dimitrijevic, said, "Reviver is the first company in the world that has developed a digital license plate to replace the current metal license plate.
For 120+ years cars have advanced technologically, so why not the plate?"
The growing popularity of thefts with keys left inside the vehicle should sound an alarm to drivers as temperatures drop and the urge to leave cars warming up rises.
Thefts trends by month demonstrate stolen vehicles with keys left in the vehicle are seasonally driven. Thefts with keys are lower in months with more moderate temperatures and rise with lower temperatures. One reason for this seasonal rise in thefts is “puffing.”
