The Closing Gap Between Fleet and Driver Management Seminar

Vehicle vs Driver
The Closing Gap Between
Fleet and Driver Management

21 April 2010

Fleet management has always been about the vehicle. Dealing with maintenance, handling accidents, managing disposals and ensuring it is operational, mobile and being run at the most efficient whole life cost possible.

But with an entire industry and set of professions built around fleet management, we now see ourselves entering a new era – Driver Management.

• Drivers need risk assessing
• Grey fleet drivers need managing (even though their vehicles are not directly within control of their employer)
• Telematics monitor driver (rather than vehicle) behaviour
• Accidents are caused by drivers
• No win-no fee firms are providing greater temptation than ever for drivers involved in accidents to make personal injury claims
• And place 2 drivers in identical vehicles and each will run up very different whole life costs – all down to their attitude and driving style.

Talk to any major contract hire company and they will tell you that driver management is now being integrated into vehicle management.

Talk to any fleet manager and they will tell you that their role has shifted too.

So, what is the future of fleet?

And what do we need to do to ensure we are well equipped to manage this changing landscape?

This one day workshop looks at how Vehicle and Driver Management are becoming increasingly combined.

In plain English it looks at the issue of Managing Occupational Road Risk, at how fleet management can integrate with driver risk management and what the new model for professional fleet management will look like.

The day will be a combination of presentations, discussion and debate where future best practice is discussed and shared.
