Torque Fleet Risk Management
Who'd have thought that you'd turn to your insurance company for improving profits? Or advice on sleeping, lowering fuel bills, training and recruiting drivers, logistics, fleet maintenance and in-vehicle cameras.
Prevention is better than cure
Torque Fleet Risk Management's unique services can help you save time and money, by helping you to reduce accident rates and therefore avoiding losses in the first place. By understanding your business, we can tailor a programme for you that identifies and limits fleet risk.
The key features of the Torque Offer include:
In-vehicle cameras
- In-vehicle cameras are to the transport industry what the “black box” is to the aviation industry.
- This enhanced “black box” is a proactive device designed to be part of a total fleet risk management approach aimed at identifying and correcting risky driving behaviour before it leads to an incident or accident.
- As single or dual facing, these cameras provide a colour video clip with audio, anytime a vehicle is in a high-risk situation or involved in unusual motion. The video camera is always active, recording on a continuous loop. However, downloads to the system’s hard drive are only triggered when set parameters are exceeded, such as when the vehicle brakes hard or swerves suddenly. When this happens, the camera downloads twenty seconds of the video, recording on average 10 seconds either side of the “incident - trigger point”, capturing what happened both outside and inside the cab. Furthermore, the driver can also manually activate the device to record. Some of the cameras download automatically after each trip via wireless connection when a vehicle passes through the gates of the yard at the end of a run.
- The video can be used to support insurance claims and safety-related incidents, and it can also be used to review driver behaviour.
It’s a known fact that safe driving is also the most cost-effective driving – impacting on all key costs including fuel, engine and tyre wear, vehicle repairs, accident repairs and insurance. - But the biggest benefit of In-Vehicle Cameras is the opportunity for operators and drivers to review and improve operating conditions and the way drivers respond to them.
- In fleets throughout New Zealand, operators and drivers have experienced marked improvements in driving habits and fleet operating costs, providing real cost savings for transport operators.
