The new fleet technology will target multi-million pound savings from improvements in fuel consumption of at least 10% and a cut in CO2 emissions of around 30,000 tonnes across HomeServe’s fleet over the term of the new contract.

The award of the new contract, which has an initial value of £4.5m, follows a two-year relationship between the two companies which initially involved the implementation of 400 units across HomeServe’s Property Repairs businesses. The new contract will see the relationship extended for a further four years and the deployment of Eagle-i’s technology across HomeServe’s national commercial vehicle fleet.

Commenting on the new contract, Guy Bruce, HomeServe’s Commercial and Business Transformation Director, said:
“Eagle-i’s award-winning Monitor3 system offers us a very clear means of achieving our major operational, commercial and environmental goals, including the significant opportunity to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions through better job despatch, route planning and driver speed awareness.”

Ian Walmsley, Chief Executive of Eagle-i Telematics, said:

“This is clearly a very significant contract for Eagle-i and a valuable endorsement of both the new Monitor3 fleet management system and the project implementation capabilities of Ei Consulting, Eagle-i’s professional services division.

“Ei Consulting has worked closely with senior HomeServe management in recent months to identify major operational
cost savings across HomeServe’s national commercial fleet, including reduced fuel spend, lower vehicle maintenance costs and reduced carbon footprint.

“We now look forward to building on our existing working relationship to ensure HomeServe achieves its stretching operational, environmental and corporate-social responsibility objectives,” he added.
