The aim of Tangent Fleet Services Ltd is to promote a sense of responsibility for commercial vehicle drivers and reaffirm their professionalism, within the public eye.
We offer a way of establishing and asserting your duty of care for your company and vehicle drivers and can be seen as a positive step in compliance with new legislation such as the Corporate Liability/Corporate Manslaughter Bill 2006.
Tangent offer a number of solutions from basic adhesive labeling and feedback services to advanced Telematics options. We advise on legislative compliance and can arrange insurance cost reductions.
Benefits and reductions are fully listed on the website.
Telematics Package
This package encompasses a range of current technologies used in vehicle telematic solutions. Incorporated here are Vehicle Tracking, Satellite Navigation services and Speed Camera detection systems. These are designed and modulated to reduce the cost effect of managing fleets by cutting down on accident rates, reducing fines and risk and of course streamlining regional operations management.
We feel that this service is offered at a highly competitive price that cannot be matched at this time.
The basic service is based on the tried and tested feedback system which entails members of the public calling a displayed number on the vehicle in question to comment on driving incidents. This information is often invaluable and can be used as constructive feedback for the driver.
We will utilise a national rate number that will be displayed on vehicles for members of the public to call and comment on the vehicle condition, driving issue or safety of the vehicle and cargo concerned. The slogan 'Comment on my Driving' invites members of the public to call regarding positive issues as well as the negative.
Companies with as few as 2 company vehicles are more than welcome to join whether the vehicles are cars, vans or lorries.
We will monitor phone lines and report each and every call concerning your vehicles in the form of a report sent to you via e-mail, fax, letter etc.
INSURANCE
Commercial vehicle insurance is usually a major expenditure in a business, so it is essential that you get good value for money.
CVD was formed in 2001 with the concept of a specialist broking service for commercial vehicle insurance, which was at the time an unloved sector. Commercial Vehicle Direct rapidly expanded, moving offices three times as the business grew in scale.
The office is now based at the old Severn Bridge near Aust and employs over 170 staff.
It is the country's leading commercial vehicle insurance broker

TELEMATICS
Many companies are now using or seriously considering Telematics as a means of monitoring and managing their company fleet operations.
Telematics is invaluable as a tool for streamlining operations allowing a manager to immediately see where and what any particular vehicle is doing at any time.
The services offered also allow managers to direct drivers via Blue Tooth technology to any location in the UK without the need for costly and time consuming calls. Accident black spots and congestion areas can be avoided simply by downloading a route planned by the manager, to the drivers PDA.
Customer services can be improved for delivery and engineering tasks as the location of an asset is immediately visible. No more need to call back clients with locations as the exact whereabouts is on screen at all times.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
According to the HSE, up to one-third of all road traffic collisions involve someone driving on business, accounting for 20 fatalities and 250 serious injuries every week.
The true cost of an accident involving a company vehicle could be in the region of ten times the cost of the actual repairs (including lost working time and contracts), in real terms an accident with repair charges of £1,000 could actually cost a business around £10,000 per accident.
The rate of major injury to employees in 2004/05 is 237.9, slightly higher than 2003/04 at 237.2. Previously, since 1996/97, the trend had been generally downward.
HSE Statistics also show that,
Over the past four years, almost half the fatalities have occurred in freight transport.
The number of major injuries to employees in the transport industry has steadily risen from 2760 in 1997/98 to 3658 injuries in 2004/05, an increase of 33%.
Over the past four years, freight transport by road has accounted for 27% of major injuries and national post activities have accounted for 15% of major injuries to employees.

We provide independent reports on aspects from speeding to dangerous driving, cargo and livestock safety/welfare to mobile phone usage as well as child safety on school buses and of course the no smoking policies
