The collaboration will bring a range of solutions to LeasePlan USA customers, from technology-driven products such as smartphone sensors, scoring mechanisms and benchmarking, as well as consultation, training and closed-loop driver coaching. The firms added that driver risk management products resulting from this partnership will be announced later this year.

The partnership will also provide clients with a holistic solution configured to each company’s needs and taking in areas from licence monitoring through assessment and prescribed training to bring an end-to-end focus.

“Almost all collisions are avoidable if you understand the root causes and proactively manage these underlying reasons. It’s increasingly crucial that fleet and safety managers leverage cutting-edge technologies to identify high-risk drivers and take the steps to prevent crashes. That is why we are so excited about our new partnership with eDriving.” said LeasePlan USA president and CEO Jeff Schlesinger.

“94% of all collisions are caused by attitudes and behaviours – this is a completely solvable problem,” added Celia Stokes, CEO of eDriving. “Through this partnership, LeasePlan is demonstrating a shared passion for and commitment to solving that problem. Together we will enable powerful, integrated driver safety and risk management solutions to help LeasePlan clients get their drivers home safely and responsibly while reducing collision-related costs.”
