Fleet technology solutions specialist eDriving has introduced a new EcoDrive tool into its Mentor driver safety app.

The new optional EcoDrive feature expands Mentor into a holistic driver safety and sustainability solution

The new feature, which is available globally, expands Mentor from a comprehensive driver safety produc t to a holistic driver safety and sustainability solution that will help global clients achieve their goals.

The smartphone-based Mentor programme identifies and remediates drivers’ risky habits behind the wheel with scoring, training, coaching and gamification – it’s said to deliver up to an 89% reduction in risky driver behaviour over 18 months.

Available for all size and types of fleets, the optional EcoDrive enhancement enables organisations to help drivers reduce their CO2 emissions/EV battery consumption and is claimed to enable reduction of carbon emissions and EV battery consumption of up to 20%. EcoDrive also supports more accurate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting with harmonised data on an organisation’s CO2 savings.

It’s powered by Greater Than, a global provider of technology that converts GPS data into powerful insights and driver scores.

Ed Dubens, CEO and founder of eDriving, said: “Our health- and safety-minded customers are keen to take ownership of their climate impact and contribute to their organizations’ ESG initiatives by quantifying and reporting on their sustainability efforts. By helping fleet drivers understand the impact of their driving on the environment, Mentor and EcoDrive can help them evolve to more eco-friendly behaviours.”
