Are the days of the traditional White Van Man numbered?

 

New techology may put pay to 'White van Man' as we know him
A new technology has stepped in to end the notorious White Van Man's reign on British roads. A combination of tracking and diagnostic technologies has resulted in the GeoManager DNA Driver.

"The DNA Driver uses diagnostics to ensure workforces are driving correctly and helps save companies money by running teams more efficiently" says Andrew Yeoman, managing director of the company that created this new 'black box' technology.

This environmentally friendly 'black box' helps to increase delivery by helping managers to pinpoint a vehicles whereabouts. Based on a vehicles present location, time and traffic efficient routes can be reset. While this technology increases routing efficiencies, it also allows company managers to keep an eye on their white van drivers. The DNA Driver monitors every aspect of an employee's actions behind the wheel. Every acceleration and broken speed limit is recorded and reported on.

This information is constantly measured and transmitted, enabling fleet owners to conduct their own assessments based on data provided by the black box. Information is also continuously sent between drivers and managers. The technology is proving itself as more than just an onboard speed camera that helps fleet owners ensure their drivers observe the rules of the road. It's also helping to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

With 30 000 vehicles already using the GeoManager system on British roads, growing adoption by white vans owners can only serve to increase road safety. Get the most out of your White Van fleet; request a free van insurance quote today.
