NG Bailey is working with Webfleet, Bridgestone’s advanced fleet management solution, to support a major fleet transformation programme focused on improving safety, operational performance, sustainability and compliance.
As one of the UK’s leading power, engineering and infrastructure services businesses, NG Bailey operates a fleet of more than 600 light commercial vehicles, supporting critical customer services nationwide. In recent pilot trials, the solution helped the company significantly reduce CO2 emissions by improving fuel economy by 3% and reducing wasted fuel by 25%.
Lee Jackson, Group Fleet Manager at NG Bailey, said: “Our investment in Webfleet is about much more than telematics. It is helping us create a safer working environment for our colleagues, improve operational performance and make more informed decisions about the future of our fleet.
“The platform supports NG Bailey’s long-standing ‘Safety First & Foremost’ culture, but equally important is giving our managers and drivers better information, reducing unnecessary administration and supporting our journey towards a more sustainable fleet.”
Webfleet’s OptiDrive 360 driver performance monitoring provides real-time insight into driving behaviours, allowing NG Bailey to deliver targeted coaching, support and development opportunities for drivers. During the pilot phase, harsh driving events fell by 25%, speeding by 26%, idling by 5% and camera-triggered safety incidents by 35%.
Integrated AI-enabled safety cameras are providing additional protection for both drivers and the wider public by identifying high-risk behaviours and providing objective evidence when incidents occur. “This helps us protect our drivers, challenge fraudulent claims and ensures we can make fair, informed decisions based on facts,” said Jackson.
