31% increase in vehicle checks carried out by FleetCheck

A 31% increase in vehicle checks to almost seven million was recorded by FleetCheck in 2024.

In total, 6,836,225 driver inspections of cars, vans and trucks were carried out using the company’s apps, with 323,380 faults identified and rectified as a result – up by 14% over the previous year.

The company also saw 3,338 driver collisions and other incidents recorded – an increase of 24%, while 132,045 driver licence checks were completed, growing by 15%.

Peter Golding, managing director at FleetCheck, said: “These statistics relate directly to our products but we’ve released them because we believe they are indicative of an increasing commitment to risk management by the fleet sector as a whole.

“Last year was a good one for us as a company and the key reason in terms of attracting new customers was safety. More and more companies want to adopt digital solutions that allow them to manage their safety inspection needs both to meet their legal compliance obligations and to reduce accident rates from a cost and ethical viewpoint.

“They’re also making use of more advanced technology. For example, the increase in driver collisions and other incidents we’ve recorded is most likely because there’s more use of functionality that allows employees to record details and images that are sent directly to the core fleet management platform. We’re definitely seeing deeper dives into data.”

FleetCheck signed 495 new fleets in 2024, an increase of 28% compared to 2023, and saw a rise in the number of customers it has held for five years or longer rise to 365, up by 141%.

Golding said: “It’s gratifying to maintain our growth trajectory of recent years but also deeply satisfying to see our long-term customer retention figures rising so rapidly. We’re not just signing up users to FleetCheck but they are staying with us in the long-term.”
