MOBILE WORKS & FLEET SOLUTIONS
the workplace, particularly for employees who have to work on the go. As a result, being connected at the wheel is becoming a necessity for fleet drivers, and fleet managers need to adjust their vehicles to stay mobile, effective and above all, safe. It is why manufacturers across the spectrum have placed an emphasis on developing effective technology for mobile connectivity over recent years.
Mobile connectivity addresses the need to communicate safely on the move. With mobile connectivity, temptation to use a handheld device is eradicated, as drivers benefit from the system’s read- out function, which delivers messages including emails, Tweets and Facebook posts as well as news and social media streams audibly, ensuring productivity during long journeys without compromising safety.

Yet Connected systems can do more than help fleet drivers work on the road; it’s also an opportunity to make those journeys more appealing for current and prospective drivers. Fleet operators care about more than productivity and efficiency; it’s also about attracting and retaining drivers by offering a comfortable, convenient vehicle.
The future of telematics, connectivity and related technologies and the full impact they will have on fleets is yet to be seen but what is guaranteed is that new opportunities will emerge for fleets and fleet managers.
Advanced vehicle diagnostic reporting through IcC’s OBD data helps to manage fleet costs, identifying arising maintenance issues to minimise vehicle downtime and prevent more costly repairs.
Being able to generate an overall driver behaviour score and a breakdown of driving practices gives fleet managers total visibility over vehicles. IcC devices recently revealed a 16% difference in fuel cost between drivers after being used in a fleet of Mercedes-Benz vans, enabling the fleet manager to identify inefficient driving and cut unnecessary costs.
We are in an exciting and defining period for the industry, with technology that promises to push a new era of fleet management and evolve UK business operations. Fleet managers need to keep on top of these trends to excel and ensure their business’ need for advanced technology and efficiency are met.
