Stagecoach drivers lead the way

A total of 171 members of staff have been awarded Fleet Elite status and a special badge, under a comprehensive driving safety measurement programme managed by GreenRoad.

The company’s safety and telematics system serves professional drivers across the world.

To gain Fleet Elite status, drivers must achieve an average of five or fewer events, such as harsh braking or acceleration, per 10 hours of driving over the entire calendar year.

David Frenz, operations director, said: “To see so many of our drivers receive Master Fleet Elite status is a real testament to the quality of our team in East Scotland and their commitment to driving safely. The scheme is great for our drivers and has real benefits for the environment too.”
