Deciding on Transport Options for your Business

Posted on February 26, 2017 at 11:41 am

Businesses will often have the need to transport people and goods, so if this applies to you, it’s important to choose the right options. This will help to make your transportation as simple as possible and it will help to save you time and money in the long run.

It might be the case that you need to transport large goods on a regular basis. If this applies to you, consider building up a relationship with a regular logistics company who can provide these services to you over a longer period of time. This will help you to get good prices and good service.

You may also want to consider the option of running a fleet of vehicles yourself. This could consist of vans, cars, motorbikes or other vehicles depending on your specific requirements. You could have a pool of company vehicles for people to use as and when they need them or you could assign a vehicle to the member of staff who will need to use it.

Looking After your Company Car

Posted on December 21, 2016 at 8:46 pm

A company car is a benefit that lots of employees now look for. If you get a company car, though, you need to make sure you take excellent care of it. Whilst you’re not going to be expected to fix it if things go wrong, some basic maintenance will make sure that you are able to drive your car without any worries and give it back in excellent condition. Here is a brief checklist to follow:

  • Make sure you know who to call if there is an emergency. If you break down or your car is involved in an accident, there will be somebody that you need to notify so you can get help. Keep their number to hand and make sure you know exactly what you need to do.
  • Never miss services. Whilst it won’t be your responsibility to schedule in services, you will need to make sure that you car does attend its service. Keep its records up to date to show you are looking after it.
  • Check your tyre pressure. You can do this easily at a garage.
  • Make sure you have windscreen washer fluid. You don’t want to run out during the winter, so get into the habit of topping it up on a regular basis.
  • Get your car cleaned regularly. If you don’t want to do it yourself, have it cleaned at a garage that you trust. This will help to keep the paintwork looking good and will prevent dirt from building up inside the car too.
  • Make a note of any issues. If you spot anything that you think could be wrong with your car, no matter how small, make a note of it. Monitor it if it’s not too serious and if it persists, tell your employer immediately.

Off Road Logistics

Posted on July 31, 2014 at 11:02 am

Logistic operations do not always run smoothly. Sometimes deliveries need to be made to harsh environments such as the outback in Western Australia, or muddy hills in countryside.

Off-road operations often still include lorries, and there are off-road lorries out there that can handle tough terrain. Not all countries are fortunate enough to have smooth tarmac roads, and some lorries are cleverly designed to handle heavy loads on poor surfaces.

There are always going to be tricky areas that are difficult to access but you don’t always have to have deliveries flown out to the location, lorries and trucks can still be used, it just means that you have to have a fleet of vehicles which are kitted out to perform well on horrid surfaces.

Autonomous Vehicles

Posted on May 29, 2014 at 2:07 pm

Autonomous vehicles goes by many different names, but what it refers to is a vehicle which requires no driver. Current technology allows them to work through the use of sensors, which, through the use of an in-car computer, allows them to create a detailed idea of the cars environment, so that it can react to changes in geography, the changes in the road conditions, weather conditions, and whatever unexpected situations, like a car breaking in front of them, or a child running into the street. Having a system which is able to react correctly to any changes in its environment is a necessary component for any autonomous vehicle.

After these vehicles have finished their development, which may be as soon as ten years from now, we may see whole fleets of truck or taxi drivers being replaced by machines. We will also see some positive changes, like the elimination of human error and car crashes. Any changes that will take place are sure to change slowly, due to the fact that this technology is set to costs many thousands of pounds beyond a standard vehicle.
