Keeping track of your fleet is easy thanks to our clever box of tricks that will save you time and money and give you all the data you need
Telematics devices can be installed in cars to record information about driving, such as mileage, time, speed and braking responses, and have become increasingly common over the past few years, as a tool that allows insurance companies to offer customers lower premiums.
By tracking how drivers use cars, companies can adjust premiums, so that safer, better drivers pay less. Volkswagen UK uses this technology to offer younger drivers better premiums on new cars such as the Polo.
Volkswagen Financial Services | Fleet (VWFS | Fleet) has also begun to use telematics to help fleet managers look after company vehicles better, and save money.
Using a simple box that plugs into the vehicle’s diagnostic system, fleet managers can monitor drivers in real time and historically through VWFS | Fleet’s suite of reporting and dashboard tools. Tracking driver behaviour benefits fleets through reduced fuel bills, fewer accidents and lower insurance costs. Our telematics box can also alert fleet managers when a service is due, so you can arrange for the work to be done.
Telematics can be used to manage mileage claims, too. With telematics that track mileage, people only claim for the miles they do for work.
