DriveTech has launched a new white paper to help companies manage their grey fleet.

Called ‘The importance of managing your grey fleet and reducing risk’, the document aims to raise the profile of the risk management involving drivers that use their own vehicle for business.

Colin Paterson, head of marketing at DriveTech, said: “This new grey fleet white paper complements others in our series including ‘The effect of driver coaching on the bottom line’ and ‘The impact of driver behaviour on vehicle running costs’ – all intended to be useful and practical support to any fleet manager, HR director or other fleet management professional to help inform and steer their policy considerations. 

“Grey fleet still remains an all too often overlooked area but is nevertheless still critical to the safe and efficient management of an organisation’s drivers.”

Health and safety law requires employers to show the same duty of care to employees driving their own private vehicles as they do for drivers using company vehicles.

The white paper is viewable and can be downloaded from the ‘News & Resources’ section of www.drivetech.co.uk.
