Regulatory News:
Arval and PSA Group (Paris:UG) have signed an agreement under
which they will offer new telematics services to customers of the
Arval Active Link solution for Peugeot, Citroën and DS
vehicles.
The Arval Active Access option available in all countries where
the Arval Active Link telematics solution is offered (and
particularly in France, Italy, Spain and the UK) provides fleet
managers with additional possibilities for tracking and optimising
their Peugeot, Citroën and DS vehicles fleet.
A pioneering of collaboration that benefits companies
Telematics is today recognised as an effective and innovative
lever of reducing company vehicle fleet risks and costs. Arval is a
clear forerunner in this market, having chosen last year to roll
out its Arval Active Link solution for every vehicle in its
fleet.
PSA Group has widely recognised expertise in connected vehicle
technology, being a pioneer in emergency call systems that are now
fitted to around 2 million vehicles worldwide.
Under the terms of a completely new type of collaboration
between manufacturer and leasing company, technical data gathered
by PSA Group will be used to enhance the services offered by Arval
from the end of 2016 onwards.
This collaboration will be put to practical use through the
creation of a new Arval Active Link option available on compatible
Peugeot, Citroën and DS vehicles: Arval Active Access.
New benefits for customers
Arval Active Access provides the companies with access to data
directly gathered from the Peugeot, Citroën and DS vehicles
operated by their customers. This new option offers Arval customers
additional opportunities for optimising their vehicle fleet:
1. Measurement of vehicle fuel consumption
per journey. This additional level of accuracy allows fleet
managers to measure the fuel economies achieved by each driver
where a vehicle is shared between drivers (as part of a car pool or
car sharing scheme)
2. An additional way of countering fuel
fraud. Data generated directly by the fuel gauge (via the CAN bus)
alerts fleet managers immediately of any suspicious change in tank
level and/or any inconsistency relative to the fuel purchasing
transaction recorded via the fuel card. This data can then be used
as evidence in the event of a dispute.
3. Real-time maintenance and fault alerts.
Arval Active Access will provide real-time transmission of alerts
generated by vehicle control systems. Customers can choose which
alerts they wish to receive on the basis of their own needs.
"This collaboration with PSA Group gives us the opportunity to
offer our customers an enriched Arval Active Link offer, enhanced
with new possibilities in terms of fleet optimisation", says Arval
Chief Digital Officer Angela Montacute. "We will be paying close
attention to any opportunity to extend this collaboration for the
benefit of our customers. It definitely represents the future for
manufacturer/leasing company relationships".
"The accuracy of data generated by our on-board calculators will
enable Arval to enhance its offer, and deliver even more value to
customers looking to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership of the
vehicles they operate", explains Brigitte Courtehoux, Director of
Connected Services and New Mobility at PSA Group.
