Launched in Germany, the integrated service is aimed at corporate fleets and combines vehicle telematics, reporting, driver development tools and risk engineering support.  

TomTom technology will be integral to the proposition, helping businesses to actively improve driver safety, reduce operational costs and minimise environmental impact.

We are especially impressed by the Active Driver Feedback component which empowers the driver to adopt a more responsible driving style.”
