Fleet bosses can target fuel savings, meet duty of care requirements, highlight aggressive and costly drivers, accurately record all mileages and identify vehicle faults and servicing due dates for less than £5 per month per vehicle thanks to a new package offered as a joint venture by Oxford-based online solutions provider, Ebbon-Dacs, and motor accessories supplier, vGroup International.

One major leasing company with several thousand vehicles is already in the process of implementing moDrive for all its new client vehicles and discussions with several other large fleets and motor manufacturers are ongoing.

Robert Pilkington, managing director of the Leaselink International division of Ebbon-Dacs, believes moDrive provides fleet operators with a cheaper alternative to telematics.

He said: “We are well aware of some of the negative implications associated with the tracking functionality of telematics for company cars. But, with moDrive, fleet users do not need to have the tracking option. Instead, they can use its cutting edge functionality to run their fleet more efficiently and cost effectively.”

Despite its low entry cost, moDrive is capable of handling many tens of thousands of vehicles

By implementing moDrive, fleet managers can capture all mileages, identify vehicle faults, anticipate when servicing is due, reduce wear and tear costs, identify expenses fraud, highlight rogue driving behaviours, monitor duty of care information, target fuel savings and monitor results, and store unlimited amounts of data with full connectivity of hardware.

Despite its low entry cost, moDrive is capable of handling many tens of thousands of vehicles.

Vicky Arnold, Head of Sales at motor accessories supplier vGroup International, commented: “We are making this new offer with moDrive at what we believe is a realistic price per vehicle because we believe the fleet management tools it provides can play a huge part in the more efficient operation of many vehicle fleets.

“At the same time, Ebbon-Dacs’ existing Leaselink infrastructure and vGroup’s existing logistics infrastructure gives us a unique cost base and a unique customer offering, and allows us to keep the entry price for moDrive as cost-effective and low as possible,” she said.
