The use of MiX Telematics Fleet Manager solution to promote safe and fuel-efficient driving while enhancing the company’s environmental performance has helped secure the Eco-Fleet of the Year award for Loughborough-based ETS Distribution Limited at the 2010 Brake Fleet Safety Awards.
Using Fleet Manager has helped ETS Distribution to realise an impressive set of tangible benefits:
ETS is the top ranking company in the UK government-funded On Line Benchmarking ‘FleetWave’ programme in terms of the MPG being returned by its truck fleet.
A 3% year-on-year reduction in fuel usage, despite a year-on-year fleet mileage growth of 7%. This equates to an overall fuel saving of 15% since the introduction of the fleet management system.
A corresponding reduction in carbon footprint. As FleetWave’s top performer, ETS generates 0.45 kg less CO2 per mile travelled than the industry average.
Multiplied by ETS’s annual mileage of 1.5m miles, this improvement represents a saving of 648,000 kg of CO2 per year.
A 30% reduction in accidents.
A 20% reduction in insurance premiums.
In excess of 2,000 hours of driver development training completed. This driver training includes the company’s own eco-driving SAFED (Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving) scheme, a two-day 1-to-1 induction for all new starters and incorporation of safe driving techniques into the company’s Driver CPC training, which is also carried out by the firm’s own in-house trainer.
Enhanced job satisfaction for ETS drivers. Monthly performance ‘league tables’ introduce an objective element to the challenge of driving safely and fuel efficiently, culminating in the ETS Driver of the Year award, where the top performing driver is recognised and rewarded.
Improved customer satisfaction – ETS regularly surveys its customers and currently has a Customer Satisfaction Index rating in excess of 90%.
