Wren Kitchens
One year on from Wren Kitchens’ decision to install Fleetboard in all 100 of its trucks, the Daimler owned telematics system has served up an impressive improvement in fuel efficiency. The UK’s specialist retailer, which delivers more than 2,000 kitchens every week, has seen average returns shoot up by 1.5mpg across a fleet that extends from 7.5-tonne rigids to 44-tonne tractor and semi-trailer combinations. The majority are Mercedes-Benz. The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire based company’s national transport compliance manager David Cooper reported: “We’re currently averaging 12mpg across the fleet. Before we installed Fleetboard, that figure stood at 10.5mpg.” He explained: “We left it a full 12 months before making the comparison, giving us time to fully ‘bed in’ the technology. Now we’ve done so, the results speak for themselves.”
