Drivefleet offers a comprehensive catalogue of web-based driver training courses intended to engage users in an interactive, two-way dialogue to promote knowledge retention and encourage more thoughtful, proactive drivers. Courses range from defensive driving practices and preventing distracted driving to eco-driving techniques, and are available for every kind of fleet, from cars and vans to light and medium duty trucks.

Under the acquisition, Drivefleet’s online courses will be integrated with ARI’s systems to provide clients with a seamless safety solution. Fleets will be able to leverage this new portfolio to their advantage and will have the capability to provide a wider range of training options to their drivers.

ARI added: ‘Additionally, as part of ARI, the Drivefleet team will be able to leverage the investments in technology the company has made in recent years, as well as the expertise and knowledge of ARI’s own Safety team, to rapidly develop new offerings that are responsive to client and marketplace needs. Global training solutions and training in multiple languages will allow fleets of every kind to offer comprehensive, one-of-a-kind training tailored to fit their fleet’s specific needs, which in turn will lead to safer drivers and lower fleet costs.’

‘We’re incredibly pleased to have Drivefleet join the ARI family,’ said ARI President Carl A Ortell. ‘Their innovative suite of products and proven methodology of engaging and challenging drivers is unique within the marketplace and I think our clients are going to find enhanced value as a result of this acquisition.’
