Kier is to use telematics to monitor 3,200 vehicles in its fleet, after striking a deal with telematics tech firm Teletrac Navman.
The contractor will use tracking devices and Teletrac Navman’s Director platform to record information such as location, speed, utilisation and time spent on site among thousands of HGVs and LCVs.
The business then hopes to optimise its fleet to ensure projects are delivered cost efficiently, as part of its aim to reduce Kier emissions by 30% by the year 2030.

Director will also allow Kier to monitor driver behaviour, providing data on braking, acceleration and cornering. Maintenance performance software will also automate processes such as service scheduling.
Peter Millichap, UK Marketing Director at Teletrac Navman, said: “When speaking to Kier, it was clear the business needed an end-to-end overview of its fleet in order to make informed decisions based on real-time data, which Director provides through one easy-to-navigate interface.”
Anthony Parish, group fleet director of Kier, states: “As one of the UK’s largest fleets, we are pleased to be working with Teletrac Navman and its innovative Director platform. We are committed to providing the safest and most effective fleet that we can, and this new service provides useful intelligence and data that ensures we maintain a quality, proactive and reliable service.”
