"The success of our company has been built upon our commitment to quality and service," says Director, Andrew Pursey. "But in today's world, you have to go further – by which I mean it is also essential to strive for maximum efficiency in operation and continuous improvement. That's why we turned to telematics as a means of providing us with the intelligence we need to enable us get the best out of our vehicle and our drivers.
"We opted for the MiX Telematics Fleet Manager solution after reviewing a number of options on the market and fitted a total of 25 units to vehicles ranging from Optare Solos and Tempos through to Scania Omni single and double-deckers. The benefits – namely, fuel savings of ten-percent-plus and fewer insurance claims – were apparent from the outset. Later on, our maintenance team confirmed our brake wear had reduced and we were using less air-bags. |
"A further benefit is that we are now also using the systems as part of our SAFED (Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving) training to monitor improvements.
"Fitting MiX Telematics' Fleet Manager solution has been an excellent result all round for us – which is why we now have a further ten units on order!"
Formed 22 years ago, Anglian Bus and Coach is a family-owned firm which has grown to become an important regional operator with a 60-strong fleet of buses and coaches serving a sizeable area of East Anglia.
