Kilnbridge Construction Services is introducing the Webfleet Video telematics system across its fleet of 140 commercial vehicles.

Its goals with the technology include cutting fuel usage and CO2 emissions.

Fleet manager Mick Kemp said: “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 CO2 reporting, we can now analyse all vehicle trips to find out how environmentally friendly they were. By feeding accurate fuel and CO2 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.

Kemp said: “The in-cab AI cameras highlight unsafe driving behaviour, such as not wearing a seatbelt or mobile phone use, to both protect engineers and keep us compliant by delivering on our duty of care.”

In addition, the technology is said to have helped counter a false insurance claim, and the company is also trialling the Webfleet Vehicle Check mobile app to digitise day-to-day inspections.

Beverley Wise, Webfleet regional director for parent company Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, said: “This is an excellent example of how Webfleet delivers on the green agenda and clients’ pressing sustainability demands.”
