Fleetclear Connects Norse Rochford Fleet

The new 11 vehicles comprise 10x Dennis Eagle 26t rear steer Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) and 1x18t RCV and are all fitted with electric Terberg bin lifts. The fleet is fully equipped with the full spectrum of Fleetclear safety technology as per Norse’s standard specification. This includes the RX Lite LIVE DVR camera recording system, Cyclear™ cyclist safety warning device, Reverse Radar and IDclear anti-roll away technology.

Rochford Norse is also trialling Fleetclear’s latest innovation – Fleetclear Connect – a web-based software platform that consolidates all the information from the fleet’s safety technologies onto one system. Essentially an end-to-end solution incorporating safety, compliance, tracking and telematics, Fleetclear Connect gathers all vehicle safety data in one place, combining journey and driver information.

Chris Davison, Group Fleet Manager, Norse Group Ltd, said: “We don’t want to be operating multiple systems anymore. It’s inefficient and time-consuming. Fleetclear Connect consolidates the huge amounts of information produced by our vehicle camera systems and safety technologies on one platform, which we can view LIVE and see the whole picture.”

Fleetclear Connect provides LIVE vehicle chassis and body telematics data, including fuel efficiency, carbon output and electric vehicle analysis, braking, speed, and vehicle idling time data, which can be used to optimise and schedule routes more efficiently and safely.

Comprehensive event reconstruction and compliance features provide a powerful tool for fleet operators allowing the re-construction of any event with accompanying telematics and journey data, in just a few seconds via a multi-asset slider bar on the Fleetclear dashboard.

Chris added: “We have equipped our vehicles with the very latest safety equipment from Fleetclear to assist our crews and we have strict processes in place to mitigate the risk of accidents.  However, it can be difficult to continually monitor driver compliance to ascertain if best practice is always being followed. Fleetclear Connect will help us to do this more effectively, as we can see any equipment activations or alerts immediately and take the appropriate course of action.”

Mike Crowther, National Key Account Manager, Fleetclear: “We are delighted to be working with Rochford Norse. We have a long-standing relationship, and the equipment we have fitted to the new fleet will ensure that the vehicles are always safe, operationally efficient, and compliant. Our new Fleetclear Connect system connects all the information and data in one place, clearly showing every vehicle and driver’s performance throughout every operation”.

Founded over a decade ago as Innovative Safety Systems Ltd (ISS) and recently rebranded to Fleetclear, the company has evolved from a market leading vehicle safety and technology manufacturer into a complete fleet solution provider with an end-to-end solution for all fleet operators.
