FleetBoard UK News

Tomorrow is the opening day of Britain's largest Transport and Logistics event at the NEC, Birmingham, and all finalisations are underway.

Come and see our Business Development Managers at the show on the Mercedes-Benz stand, 8-411, for a live presentation of the FleetBoard functionality, for any enquiries and to see how FleetBoard can help your business.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

...FleetBoard has proven savings on fuel consumption and other operational costs.

Based on the results of the 5th FleetBoard European Driver League competition, which used the FleetBoard performance anaylsis service to evaluate and rank the safest and most economic driving styles, we established the winners of our UK competition - 2007 UK Driver of the Year, Ray Davies (Imperial Tankers UK Ltd) - 2007 UK Fleet of the Year, 21st Century Logistics.

Presentations to our UK winners will be made on the FleetBoard section of the Mercedes-Benz stand at 11.50am and 12.00 mid-day on 15th April, the opening day of the CV Show.

The FleetBoard digital driver card download has been certified by DEKRA Certification GmbH. The DEKRA certificate confirms that Daimler FleetBoard's 'driver card download' product meets all statutory requirements with reference to reliable download, and secure transmission and provision of the driver card data to the user.

Since the market launch in November 2007 the FleetBoard driver card download has succesfully demonstrated its advantages in thousand of downloads.

Independant of the installation of the digital tachograph, the driver card can be directly downloaded in the vehicle. After inserting the driver card into the card slot on the FleetBoard on-board computer, all data from the driver card is sent to the transport office at the push of a button, without the driver or vehicle having to return to base. If a GPRS link is not available, the computer can temporarily store as many as twelve driver cards. The driver card data including the digital signature, are archived, with two backups, in the secure Daimler Computing Centre for up to 24 months and can be read using any hours' analysis package via the FleetBoard interface.

To expand on our online communications we have newly established our FleetBoard UK blog. We look forward to keeping our customers, and visitors to our FleetBoard UK web site, up to date with FleetBoard news and events.
