Iron Mountain has used GreenRoad’s driver behaviour and fleet performance solution to boost performance; in 2014 alone, it saw 20% fewer collisions versus the previous year and a 34% decrease in related costs.
“In 2014, our fleet achieved the greatest gains in driving safety and savings of the past three years,” confirms Rory Morgan, head of logistics support, Western Europe.
“Incidents decreased by over 20% from 2013 – the largest year-on-year drop since we first installed the GreenRoad system in our fleet. Related costs (own-damage and third-party) fell by over 34%, earning us a 5% reduction insurance premium. This is our fourth reduction in five years, bringing cumulative cuts in insurance premiums to 36% overall.”
Iron Mountain has also seen speeding violations drop as a result of GreenRoad’s speed by speed zone software, which has been particularly effective at decreasing speeding in low-speed zones – noted by the judges for the Brake award.
Iron Mountain has installed telematics in all its fleet vehicles in Western Europe and, more recently, in Hungary. It says all Western European fleets saw their insurance premiums reduced in 2015, with Spain achieving a reduction of 25%.
The company is planning to install the system in Poland this year, with remaining European operations possibly following suit next year.
