DriveTech and r2c have agreed a strategic partnership to provide fleets with driver training, risk and fleet management.

The collaboration will see Drivetech’s driver training and risk management services offered in conjunction with r2c’s cloud-based fleet management solutions.

Tim Meadows, managing director of r2c, said: “Continually expanding our provision to include more key services has always been at the heart of the r2c technology, and our clients clearly want licence check and driver assessment features. We decided to partner with DriveTech as it is the market leader and enhances our already sophisticated range of services.

“Having DriveTech’s risk management products in our portfolio further strengthens our proposition as a leading provider of cost-effective, compliant and safe fleet management.”

R2c’s product offering includes driver pre-use checks, incident and maintenance management, as well as the ability to store and share documents and invoices, and generate reports with insights on fleet performance and total cost of ownership.

DriveTech, meanwhile, provides fleets with licence checking, online assessments, e-learning and a whole host of driver training interventions.

Oli Stevenson, head of commercial development at DriveTech, added: “The r2c online service network is an impressively well-designed platform used by a broad cross-section of the fleet market. Combined with our licence-checking capabilities, proven driver and fleet assessments services, and highly flexible suite of e-learning modules and on-road training courses, we will hopefully see even more fleets benefitting from the combined value of our proposition.”

The new collaboration means both parties will offer a broader range of services effective from July 2021.
