WEBFLEET SUPPORTS KILNBRIDGE CONSTRUCTION ’ S ROUTE TO CARBON NEUTRALITY
Kilnbridge Construction Services is leveraging the power of Webfleet , Bridgestone ’ s trusted fleet management solution , to cut fuel usage and CO2 emissions as part of its drive to achieve carbon neutrality .
The specialist structures , construction and engineering operator is introducing the fully-integrated Webfleet Video solution across its fleet of 140 HGVs and vans .
Mick Kemp , Fleet Manager at Kilnbridge Construction Services explained : “ As partners of the Supply Chain Sustainability School , we are committed to minimising environmental damage – so our focus on reducing fuel usage is sharper than ever .
“ With Webfleet ’ s automated CO 2 reporting , we can now analyse all vehicle trips to find out how environmentally friendly they were . By feeding accurate fuel and CO 2 data for our whole fleet , and individual vehicles , into our sustainability reviews , we are able to measure progress towards carbon neutrality and help maintain our FORS Gold operator accreditation .”
Kilnbridge is also using Webfleet Video to capture road and driver-facing events .
“ The in-cab AI cameras highlight unsafe driving behaviour , such as not wearing a seatbelt or mobile phone use ,” said Mick , “ to both protect engineers and keep us compliant by delivering on our duty of care .”
Furthermore , indisputable video evidence is helping Kilnbridge to counter false claims and keep a lid on insurance costs .
” A rear end collision claim which would have cost us £ 48,000 was neatly debunked using high quality video which captured all the accident details and proved third party liability ,” said Mick .
The company is currently trialling the Webfleet Vehicle Check mobile app to digitise day-to-day vehicle inspections . The app minimises paperwork and streamlines the compliance process , allowing Kilnbridge to act quickly to resolve vehicle defects for safer operating conditions .
“ Having the driver app , cameras and telematics all integrated on the same platform makes life so much easier for us ,” Mick added .
Beverley Wise , Webfleet Regional Director for Bridgestone Mobility Solutions commented : “ This is an excellent example of how Webfleet delivers on the green agenda and clients ’ pressing sustainability demands , in line with the Bridgestone E8 Commitment .”
