Cost Effective Fleet Management at G-Force

In these tough economic times, many businesses are having to tighten their belts. In this blog, we discuss how you can manage your vehicle fleet efficiently and make savings in the long run.

Managing the Vehicle

Keep on top of maintenance. All the general wear and tear that your vehicles incur on a daily basis, adds up to a pretty hefty sum when something major breaks. If you fix problems as they arise, then you'll maximise the amount of time your vehicles spend on the road, as well as reducing your maintenance bill.

Keep an eye on fuel prices. Whatever your vehicles run on, make sure you're getting the best value for money. The Freight Transport Association updates its fuel prices daily, and we always re-post them to our Twitter account and Facebook page.

Managing the Driver

A safe driver is a cost effective driver. They have less accidents, stick to well travelled routes and don't use a lot of fuel through idling and speeding.

Train your drivers on good driving practice, and keep an eye on poor driving behaviour.

Fleet management technology, such as the TomTom Webfleet, can deliver data that will help you effectively tailor your training for individual drivers.

Use our fleet management technology from TomTom, to ensure that you're running a cost effective fleet.
