SAN DIEGO--May 26, 2011: DriveCam, Inc., a global Driver Risk Management Company, today announced that MV Transportation, Inc. has extended its full-fleet contract for three additional years. This renewal is a result of the ROI achieved, along with the program support DriveCam provides to help run a successful program for collision prevention and risk mitigation.

“With large fleets like MV, industry experience and the ability to scale are critical to minimizing the costs associated with risky driving. As evidenced by our Managed Services Program and Fleet Tracking Solution, DriveCam continues to innovate to bring exceptional value to long-standing clients, such as MV Transportation.”

MV Transportation (MV) started installing DriveCam in its vehicles in 2004 under a self-review model. Since then, MV has moved its entire fleet of 5,000 vehicles to DriveCam’s Managed Services Program.

“Our partnership with DriveCam has resulted in very positive results in the overall safety performance at MV,” commented Kevin Klika, MV Transportation COO/President. “Since switching to DriveCam’s Managed Services Program, our ROI has increased dramatically. As a result, we’re happy to continue our relationship with DriveCam and expanding it by integrating DriveCam’s Fleet Tracking Solution into our operational systems.”

“We are proud to be working with MV Transportation,” responded DriveCam CEO Brandon Nixon. “With large fleets like MV, industry experience and the ability to scale are critical to minimizing the costs associated with risky driving. As evidenced by our Managed Services Program and Fleet Tracking Solution, DriveCam continues to innovate to bring exceptional value to long-standing clients, such as MV Transportation.”

Ninety-five percent of all collisions involve driver error. That’s why the DriveCam Program focuses on the causes of poor driving to eliminate driver error, while preventing collisions, faulty claims and wasted fuel. With video and audio, DriveCam continuously monitors risky driving behavior and provides real-time driver feedback. The data and exception-based video events are reviewed and systematically assessed for risk. This data helps drivers to drive safer and more efficiently, significantly reducing fuel and carbon emissions. DriveCam has been proven to improve fuel savings by up to 12%.
