AXA Insurance has partnered with tech start-up Brightmile to launch a safe driving app for fleets providing essential services during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
This smartphone telematics solution is intended for fleets involved in services such as food delivery, medicine distribution, charity work, gas, electricity and water provision, and other crucial activities.

AXA-insured fleets providing these services can access the Brightmile app for free for three months.
The app keeps track of journey durations, vehicle speeds, phone interactions and other risk factors. Furthermore, it also provides rewards for safe driving and encourages drivers to improve their behind-the-wheel behaviour.
Even though road traffic has reduced, police forces have seen a number of drivers driving at very high speeds and dangerously, the company noted.
AXA has also launched a web portal for its fleet managers to view fleet trends and insights, and encourage safer driving.

By GlobalDataIn addition, the company is also rolling out a holistic programme to support fleet drivers’ physical and mental health.
Apart from the app for drivers and web portal for fleet managers, the programme includes raining on how to use telematics data.
A presentation on fleet managers’ corporate responsibility and an online resource library containing relevant handbooks and forms are also part of the wellbeing programme.
AXA Insurance Motor Technical Risk Manager Doug Jenkins said: “The coronavirus lockdown hasn’t removed all road dangers. In these trying times, drivers who are delivering essential services need to keep safe. We want to show them we value their contribution to society and we want to help them stay safe.”
Brightmile CEO Dominic Saunders said: “Since the Brightmile app is easy to install and operate, drivers can continue to observe social distancing and fleet managers can use the web portal as part of their remote working arrangements. The whole set up functions within today’s safety requirements and we trust it will be a helpful tool for key workers.”
