Grey Fleet Monitoring by RED Driver Training

RED driver training courses are meticulously designed to elevate your employees to higher standards of safety and efficiency behind the wheel. Our curriculum spans a vast array of subjects, including defensive driving techniques, proper vehicle upkeep, licence verification, and acquisition.

Managing a grey fleet — permitting employees to use their personal vehicles for business purposes — is an effective strategy, provided there's diligent oversight regarding the health and maintenance of these vehicles.

This approach can significantly lower costs compared to maintaining a company-owned fleet and eliminates the initial outlay for purchasing or leasing vehicles.

A well-managed grey fleet can offer substantial advantages over company-owned vehicle management. However, without proper management, a grey fleet may present challenges not typically associated with company-owned fleets. Encouraging drivers to utilise their personal vehicles for business travel can offer a more cost-efficient solution for smaller, low-mileage organisations than operating a fleet of company vehicles.

Our grey fleet management service ensures you harness these benefits effectively, maintaining the balance between cost-efficiency and fleet safety.
