The Association for Driving Licence Verification & Vehicles (ADLV) is significantly expanding its range of services, including providing grey fleet data, to help fleet managers to maintain even greater control and compliance.

Building on from its success in automating driver licence checking and supplying tacho information, the association is looking to enable its members to access a wide range of online datasets, including:

• Driver insurance information – including identifying insured vehicles in the UK
• Driver training accreditation – this would include detailed driver training records (CPC) such as passes/accreditation secured and dates
• Driver information for EU countries
• Grey fleet data – including vehicle particulars (V5C), MOT status and Vehicle Excise Duty status.

ADLV deputy chair Terry Hiles commented: “The new data offerings represent complementary areas that currently are not well served by existing trade associations or pressure groups. By adding the new data files, we can build on the considerable success and expertise gained from offering licence checking to date. In doing so, we can deliver additional cohesive support to fleet managers who are keen on both compliance and road safety.”

In addition, the ADLV believes that the combined data offering will help fleets to contribute to road safety initiatives while also enabling the association to attract new members from around these data areas, ensuring it represents a wider cross-section of the industry and increasing its ‘voice’ and influence as an industry lobby group.

He added: “Initial soundings have been extremely positive and we expect demand to be extremely high. The influence of the ADLV as an industry lobbying group and trade association will also grow in line with this.”
