Fleet Compliance Made Simple with Vanir Fleet

What Is Fleet Compliance?

Fleet compliance means meeting—and ideally exceeding—all regulatory, legal, and safety requirements for your vehicles, drivers, and overall operations. These can include duty of care obligations, drivers’ hours limits, emissions standards, and data privacy regulations (GDPR). Failing to comply can result in fines, reputational damage, and liability claims—so having robust compliance measures in place is crucial to protecting both your business and your team.

Comprehensive Duty of Care

Customisable Policies:

Create driver training programmes and safety protocols tailored to your fleet’s needs.

Reputation Protection:

Uphold a strong duty of care to safeguard your employees—and your brand—from preventable incidents.

Streamlined Vehicle Checks

Digital Walkaround Inspections: Our all-in-one mobile app ensures daily walkaround checks and first-time safety inspections for new vehicles are fast and easy.

End-to-End Workflows:

Log defects in real time, approve repair requests instantly, and monitor resolution from one centralised platform.

Paperless Administration:

Data Privacy & GDPR Compliance

Secure Telemetry: Protect sensitive fleet data, such as driver records and location tracking, using robust encryption and secure data transmission.

GDPR-Ready Platform:

Ensure that personally identifiable information (PII) is collected, stored, and processed in full compliance with UK/EU data protection laws.

Role-Based Access:

Manage user permissions within your organisation to control who can view or download sensitive data.

Digital Tachograph & Drivers’ Hours

Remote Tachograph Downloads: Automatically gather driver card and vehicle data, saving valuable time and preventing missed downloads.

Real-Time Alerts:

Get notified when drivers approach their regulated working-hour limits to reduce violations and keep operations within legal boundaries.

Comprehensive Analysis:

Monitor trends over time, identify high-risk drivers, and ensure your fleet maintains compliance across the board.

Camera Monitoring & Direct Vision Standard

Seamless Integrations: We work with any Camera Monitoring System (CMS) or Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) to meet London’s Direct Vision Standard.

Enhanced Visibility:

Provide drivers with real-time feedback and advanced warning of blind spots, lowering collision risks.

Incident Investigation:

Use captured video footage to investigate accidents, reduce insurance costs, and assist law enforcement when necessary.

Commonly Asked Questions

What regulations do I need to consider for my fleet?
From driver licensing and daily vehicle checks to GDPR and emissions compliance, regulations vary by the types of vehicles you operate and the regions you serve. In the UK, you must also be aware of clean air zones (CAZ), low emission zones (LEZ), and ultra-low emission zones (ULEZ), as well as tachograph rules for HGVs over 3.5 tonnes.
How do I create a robust compliance strategy?

Daily Vehicle Checks:

Institute mandatory digital inspections for every vehicle before hitting the road.

Staff Training:

Keep drivers up to date on safety courses, licensing requirements, and best practices.

Predictive Maintenance:

Use telematics to shift from reactive to proactive vehicle maintenance.

Data Protection:

Adhere to GDPR guidelines, implementing strict privacy and security measures for driver and operational data.

When does my fleet need to be compliant?
Fleet compliance is an ongoing requirement that evolves with new regulations—from emissions standards to changing tachograph rules. For instance, all newly registered HGVs over 3.5 tonnes must be equipped with second-generation smart tachographs by 31 August 2023. Staying current on emerging laws and industry best practices will help you avoid non-compliance risks.
