Helen Henderson, Operations Director of DRIVEcard and DRIVEtelematics said:
“We’re delighted to bring Telematics on board as we know it will be of interest
to many of our existing customers.
“The Telematics can be linked to customers existing fuel cards, so not only can
our customers receive important information and reports on their vehicles and
