Coach and bus operator turns to TomTom to cut fuel costs and improve efficiency

Amsterdam, 17 May 2012
South West Coaches is to roll out a state-of-the-art fleet management solution after looking for ways to reduce fuel costs and improve driver efficiency.

The Somerset-based coach and bus operator identified TomTom Business Solutions' tracking and Remote LINK Working Time system as the technology that would help it to better manage its vehicles and boost its green credentials.

‘We invested in the TomTom system having been quickly convinced it could cut our fuel consumption and help monitor and improve driver behaviour’ said Peter Fairey, South West Coaches' Operations Director.

‘We've been particularly impressed by the level of support we've received from TomTom's local partner, Fleetview Solutions, and look forward to working closely with them in the months ahead’

Giles Margerison, TomTom Business Solutions' Director, added: ‘We are delighted such a long standing travel firm has recognised the operational and bottom line efficiency gains that our technology can deliver’

The Remote LINK Working Time device identifies the driver of vehicles and enables employees to register working times while out on the road, producing a real-time record and ultimately reducing admin and associated costs for companies.
