Trakm8 launches young driver campaign as national driver survey shows half of young drivers are struggling to afford insurance and 1 in 10 have stopped using their vehicle.

Trakm8, a leading supplier of connected car data and devices for UK insurers and brokers, has launched a Young Driver Campaign to help raise awareness of how increasing insurance costs is impacting their lives, careers, finances and independence, and to offer advice to help understand how to take control and even reduce insurance costs.

To launch this campaign Trakm8 commissioned a national young driver survey* to gain insights into how these rising insurance costs are impacting young drivers and their lives. The results showed that over half (55%) of drivers under 25 are struggling to afford to insure their vehicles and one in four (25%) are delaying buying a car because they can’t afford insurance.

The survey went on to show how unaffordable insurance is impacting all aspects of young driver’s lives with:

• 30% stated that their education and careers have been impacted by being restricted to public transport.
• One in ten (10%) say the cost of running their car has delayed them moving out of their family home.
• 15% have had to ask parents for support to help pay for insurance.
• One in five (20%) delaying getting a car until they are older.
• One in ten (8%) have had to stop using their car as they can’t afford the insurance.

The Trakm8 Young Driver campaign will offer a voice for young drivers in the UK and the campaign aims to partner with organisations to help educate young drivers to better understand the benefits of telematics and how driving safely can make driving more affordable.

Due to the huge increase in insurance costs, 86% of young drivers would be willing to have their driving data monitored if it helped lower the cost of insurance and 93% believe insurers should offer lower costs if they can prove they are safe drivers. Furthermore, 90% believe the cost of insurance has increased so much that the government should intervene to help make cover affordable to young drivers in the UK.

Trakm8 offers an end-to-end telematics solution that incorporates a market-leading platform that utilises machine learning and AI technology with a UK-based manufacturing facility that delivers a range of award-winning hardware solutions. This gives insurers access to a range of big data insights including our portfolio of connected vehicle services and data analytics to give them a detailed understanding of customer driving habits and vehicle health, so they can manage policies and risk profiles on an individual basis.

Adam Gooch, Managing Director for Insurance at Trakm8, added, “The cost of car insurance is increasing for drivers across the UK and for young drivers who were already struggling with higher premiums this increase is making running a vehicle unaffordable for millions of younger people.

This is impacting education, careers and livelihoods for many under 25s and at Trakm8 we want to help raise awareness of this issue and help educate young drivers and help make insurance more affordable.

Telematics policies such as PAYD or UBI solutions allow drivers to benefit from much more accurate premiums and reward them for positive driving behaviour. By offering a PAYD or UBI policy insurers can offer consumers fairer value and more accurate premiums.

Our comprehensive end-to-end insurance telematics solutions are designed to give insurers an easy route to market to offer their customers a leading PAYD or UBI policy.”

In a triumphant conclusion to Trakm8’s annual search for the Road Safety Hero of 2023, Richard Prescott, a dedicated driver from Arriva Bus, emerges as the winner. Trakm8, a leader in fleet technology solutions, launched this quest in support of Brake’s Road Safety Week, with a focus on addressing the critical issue of speeding on our roads.

Richard Prescott’s exemplary commitment to road safety, particularly his influence on other drivers, has earned him the prestigious title of Road Safety Hero. Richard, based at the Arriva Runcorn depot, has been instrumental in fostering a road safety culture among his colleagues, leading by example, and significantly contributing to reducing speeding events.

Matthew Mort, Road Risk Manager at Arriva Bus, stated, “Richard Prescott is a true Road Safety Hero, influencing not just new colleagues but existing ones, demonstrating immense improvements in safety standards within our depot, we are delighted Trakm8 have chosen Richard as the winner which is thoroughly deserved”.

Matthew Mort continues by adding “Richard’s impact extends beyond his role as a PCV driver; he also serves as an in-depot trainer. Additionally, he champions the vehicle telematics system, contributing to a 46% reduction in speeding events within the past year. Richard plays a pivotal role as the in-depot trainer at Arriva Runcorn, where he imparts essential knowledge to new starters, covering routes, vehicle familiarisation, and enhancing driving skills. His coaching approach has yielded remarkable results, making Arriva Runcorn a leader in road safety, boasting one of the lowest road traffic incidents per new starter in the entire North West and Wales business. The Runcorn depot also holds one of the lowest Key Performance Indicator (KPI) rates for road traffic incidents in the entire Arriva UK bus business.”

Arriva North West & Wales, to which Runcorn is a part of, boasts a large fleet comprising over 2,000 drivers, circa 850 buses and 100 vans, and the Merseyside depots alone collectively cover an impressive 78,000 miles per day. Given the substantial number of drivers and vehicles, prioritising road safety is of paramount importance to Arriva. The company holds BS ISO 39001 Road Traffic Safety Management accreditation, underscoring its dedication to safety. Arriva’s commitment to safety is evident through a comprehensive approach, including in-house road safety training, innovative reward schemes, and the utilisation of multi-camera systems. Richard’s endeavours align with Arriva’s dedication to road safety culture, contributing significantly to the Runcorn depot’s distinction as having one of the lowest incident rates in the Arriva UK business.

Nick Guise, Group Marketing Manager at Trakm8, expressed, “Richard Prescott truly embodies the theme of this year’s Road Safety Week, ‘Let’s talk about speed,’ actively contributing to road safety and setting a benchmark for fellow fleet drivers.”

Richard’s dedication has not only earned him the title of Road Safety Hero but also a Weekend Two-Night Luxury Lake District Break for Two at The Langdale Hotel.

In a statement, Nick Guise adds, “Trakm8 is excited to celebrate drivers like Richard Prescott, showcasing their commitment to road safety. The Road Safety Hero search is an opportunity to champion road safety nationwide and honour those who go above and beyond to ensure the safety of our roads. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, Richard Prescott rightfully earns the title of Road Safety Hero. His influence extends beyond new colleagues, positively impacting existing ones and showcasing measurable improvements in safety standards within the business.”

The Trakm8 team are thrilled to announce we won the Innovation Award at last week’s WhatVan Awards ceremony. The WhatVan Awards are recognised as one of the most prestigious independent accolades in the UK’s light commercial vehicle industry.

The What Van? Awards provide recognition for brands, businesses and organisations that have reached the pinnacle of their fields. What Van? assembles an experienced panel of independent judges from across the LCV sector to evaluate the entrants.

The categories evolve from year to year to ensure WhatVan recognise changing trends and developments spanning the breadth of the light commercial vehicle industry. Each year the organisers carefully select an expert panel of judges with decades of combined experience in the light commercial vehicle sector.

The team are delighted to scoop this top accolade especially up against such a formidable group of finalists. As the winner was voted for by experts in industry this was a further acknowledgement that the Trakm8 solutions are well regarded across the industry.

Trakm8’s entry for the innovation award was focused on our AI Optimisation solution for last mile delivery. Trakm8 created flexible, scalable algorithms for last mile delivery optimisation. These algorithms enable customers to book delivery slots and create highly efficient schedule planning for delivery drivers.

Trakm8’s AI Optimisation solution for last-mile delivery offers a multitude of advantages to retailers. Notably, it plays a pivotal role in reducing fleet costs, minimising last-mile delivery failures, and ensuring the timely fulfilment of customer delivery expectations. Additionally, it enhances the online slot booking experience for customers, contributing to increased satisfaction. The solution goes beyond economic benefits, actively decreasing harmful environmental emissions and fostering a safer and more satisfying work environment for drivers. What sets Trakm8 apart is its seamless integration into various commercial systems, websites, and backend operations.

To illustrate the tangible impact of Trakm8’s AI Optimisation, consider the case of a Major UK Food Retailer. The implementation of this technology has resulted in projected annual savings of £15 million, attributed to reductions in fuel and labour costs. Vans now cover between 170 thousand and 200 thousand fewer miles per week, showcasing a 12% improvement in miles per drop. This not only leads to substantial savings in emissions, fuel, and overall operational costs but also allows for an increased order volume without the need for additional shifts or vans. Furthermore, the implementation of Trakm8’s solution enabled the retailer to release Christmas delivery slots five weeks earlier and extend delivery slot booking windows from 2 to 4 weeks. These remarkable results underscore the transformative impact of Trakm8’s AI Optimisation on last-mile delivery.

Nick Guise, Marketing Manager at Trakm8 said: “We are thrilled our AI Optimisation Last Mile Delivery Solution has been honoured with the prestigious Innovation award at this year’s What Van? Awards. This achievement serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work of our exceptional team, who consistently strive to position our solutions at the forefront of the market with innovation as our guiding principle. In a highly competitive field featuring outstanding entries from other leading companies, winning this award was no small feat. We are genuinely delighted to be recognised as the ultimate winner and are proud to stand out among the best in the industry.”

In support of this year’s Road Safety Week, Trakm8 is thrilled to announce the return of their quest to find the Road Safety Hero of 2023. Brake’s Road Safety Week, taking place from November 19th to November 25th, is focused on addressing one of the most pressing issues on our roads: speeding.

Under the banner “Let’s talk about speed,” the theme of this year’s Road Safety Week, the UK’s largest annual road safety initiative, seeks to spark a crucial conversation about why speeding is still regarded as acceptable in some contexts, the consequences of such behaviour, and the compelling case for reducing speed to save lives.

Every day, five people lose their lives on the roads. The pressing question remains: Why do we tolerate speeding? Trakm8, a leader in fleet technology solutions, is determined to honour drivers who go above and beyond to ensure the safety of Britain’s roads.

Trakm8 is extending an open invitation to all UK fleet managers, inviting them to nominate a deserving driver from their fleet as the Road Safety Hero 2023. We are particularly interested in recognising exceptional drivers who prioritise road safety, with a keen focus on their speeding records. We intend to reward and give the recognition that such dedicated drivers truly deserve.

Nomination is a easy, fleet managers can simply click on the following link: https://get.trakm8.com/road-safety-hero/ and nominate their road safety hero from their fleet. All entries will be diligently reviewed by Trakm8, with the top five entries to be revealed at the start of Road Safety Week through our social media platforms. The ultimate winner will be unveiled during “Fleet Friday” at the week’s end. Deadline for entries will be Friday 17^th November at 5pm.

The victorious driver will receive a well-earned prize: a Weekend Two-Night Luxury Lake District Break for Two at The Langdale Hotel, alongside the esteemed title of Road Safety Hero, and a certificate of recognition.

Last year’s inaugural winner was a dedicated E.ON smart meter technician, hailed for her unwavering commitment to promoting road safety within her immediate team and across E.ON’s extensive workforce.

Nick Guise, Group Marketing Manager at Trakm8, commented, “This year’s Road Safety Week theme, ‘Let’s talk about speed,’ inspires us to find a driver who passionately embodies this idea, actively contributing to road safety and serving as a beacon for their fellow fleet drivers. In the UK, five people succumb to road fatalities daily, and as a fleet technology provider, we see it as our mission to bolster road safety through education and monitoring driver behaviour, particularly regarding speeding. We are excited to relaunch the Road Safety Hero search, an excellent opportunity to celebrate some of the finest fleet drivers in Britain while championing road safety nationwide.”

NE Transport Solutions Limited, a leading haulage firm headquartered in Purfleet, proudly manages a growing fleet of 50 vehicles, featuring 36 HGVs. Demonstrating their commitment to fleet safety and accident mitigation, the company made a strategic decision to embrace Trakm8’s RH800 solution following a highly successful trial period. This forward-thinking move led to a collaborative partnership with Trakm8, resulting in the integration of the cutting-edge RH800—a state-of-the-art 4-channel 4G Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR) with cameras & a monitor—across their entire fleet.

The RH800 Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR) is a groundbreaking innovation that promises to revolutionise how we safeguard and manage our vehicle fleets. This cutting-edge device combines an array of features that are unparalleled in their capability. It includes comprehensive telematics functionalities such as real-time video streaming, GPS vehicle tracking, driver behaviour monitoring and evaluation, vehicle health diagnostics, tachograph data retrieval, and more. It represents a comprehensive solution for transportation operators seeking to elevate safety, efficiency, and overall fleet performance.

Trakm8’s RH800 represents a significant stride towards a safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly future. By equipping operators with these essential tools, Trakm8 help them to meet the requirements of the new Direct Vision Standard Progressive Safe System, which will take effect in October 2024, as well as the Silver Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) standards. This enhancement improves visibility and safety on the road, making our roadways safer for all.

Zoltan Serfozo, the Transport Manager at NE Transport Solutions, expressed his satisfaction with Trakm8’s RH800 solution, stating, “Previously, we relied on another telematics and camera supplier, but their outdated system proved unreliable and often missed critical incidents. Turning to Trakm8, we discovered the ideal solution in the RH800, precisely meeting our requirements.”

Zoltan went on to provide a detailed assessment of the RH800’s components: “The cameras are robust and deliver exceptional picture and video quality, even in low-light conditions. The RH800 package, as a whole, is a high-quality product and functions flawlessly, delivering the much-needed protection when incidents occur. It has already provided crucial evidence in accidents and cases of alleged damage.”

He continued to commend the Insight Portal and its features: “The portal is very intuitive and a well thought out design. User-friendly and quick to grasp. It’s visually pleasing, with all the necessary information conveniently displayed on the screen. I can see all my vehicles where they are and what they are doing without touching anything. Configurable for individual needs, basically I can make a whole new perspective for myself designing for my own individual need.

Retrieving footage from the portal is easy, thanks to its user-friendly and self-explanatory interface. Overall, the portal has transformed our experience and is more interactive and user-friendly than any other system I’ve encountered in the past. I’m highly satisfied with it, and I’m certain there’s still much to discover in order to fully utilise its extensive features.”

Joe Heidari, Fleet & Optimisation Sales Director at Trakm8 said “We are truly grateful to have NE Transport Solutions as our valued customer. Their commitment to fleet safety and their decision to embrace Trakm8’s RH800 solution is a testament to their forward-thinking approach. Together, with our customers we are revolutionising the way fleet management and safety are approached, paving the way for a safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly future on the roads.”
