Leasedrive Velo Is Industry Hero
Mileage:Manager launched earlier this year by Leasedrive Velo, one of the UK’s largest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups in the UK, has won the company the ‘Innovation in Services and Systems’ Energy Saving Trust Fleet Hero 2009 Award.
Mileage:Manager is a fully-automated secure new online business and private mileage capture and reporting solution, which allows fleet managers to effectively audit the mileage capture process whilst being quicker and easier to use for drivers, thereby increasing efficiency, reducing administration, which overall saves money. It can be operated as a standalone mileage capture product or as part of the group’s Drive:Manager system.
Mileage:Manager calculates the charges due for any private mileage based on the actual cost of fuel or based on an allowance figure, whichever the customer wants to use. It delivers accurate driver charging based on the agreed individual cost per mile and even highlights the effects of vehicle choice, fuel type and driving style to company and driver. It even supports cash refuelling, with drivers reimbursed for any cash expense through payroll, which it interfaces with along with the customer’s expense system to complete the process. The system can extract this information to produce accurate P11D benefits and P46 car form returns.
Commercial director, Roddy Graham said: “We are delighted to have won yet another green accolade for environmental initiatives. Following on from our Carbon:Manager initiative, Mileage:Manager represents another effective tool in the fleet manager’s armoury to help reduce an organisation’s total carbon footprint as well as more efficiently managing drivers’ expense claims.”
Philip Sellwood, Chief Executive of the Energy Saving Trust commented: “Congratulations to Leasedrive Velo Group for winning the Energy Saving Trust Fleet Hero Award for Innovation in Services and Systems. The Fleet Hero Awards highlight those who have not only taken steps to help the environment but also to save money and resources. This is a great example for others to follow.”
Mileage:Manager is also integrated with the group’s carbon-offsetting solution, Carbon:Manager. The accurate business and private mileage records delivered cover pre-agreed time periods and are linked to the volume of carbon produced, extrapolated from individual vehicle CO2 data, to allow the true total carbon output produced to be offset. Monthly driver impact statements are generated for individual drivers demonstrating the impact driving their vehicle has had on the environment. Similar company-wide statements can be produced to allow fine-tuning of fleet policy.
