Jointly developed by Oxford-based online solutions provider Ebbon-Dacs and motor accessories supplier vGroup International, the moDrive telematics solution is being offered at prices said to dramatically undercut other telematics suppliers in the market whilst still offering state-of-the-art functionality.

The technology is being targeted at end-user fleets and can provide fuel consumption, driver behavior and journey expense information, aimed at cutting fleet fuel bills and carbon emissions, reducing wear and tear costs, improving driver behaviours and meeting duty of care obligations. Fleets can also benefit from location tracking functionality as an added-cost option. 

MoDrive is also being targeted at contract hire and leasing companies, providing all the information necessary for a leasing company to manage its assets more efficiently and cost-effectively. The technology is designed to be scalable and is capable of handling many tens of thousands of vehicles. 

'We believe that the technology behind telematics is well established and understood. By engineering the most efficient central processing service and layering the solution in an effective way for the fleet industry, we are able to provide a solution that offers customers what they need at a price that can be justified,' said Robert Pilkington, managing director of the Leaselink International division of Ebbon-Dacs.

Vicky Arnold, head of sales at vGroup International, added: ‘With moDrive, we use the latest hardware, proprietary data manipulation and presentation technology coupled with a market-leading logistics and distribution offer. 

‘But we are doing it at a realistic price, something we can achieve because of Ebbon-Dacs’ existing Leaselink infrastructure and VGroup’s existing logistics infrastructure. This gives us a unique cost base and a unique customer offering. 

‘You can’t manage your assets effectively without reliable and timely information. Now, proactive service direction and excess mileage information is available through moDrive at market-leading prices,’ she commented.
