Dear Colleague,

Light Commercial Vehicle Driver Behaviour Technology

Further to LTB 469/15 Branches will wish to note that we are due to meet with Royal Mail on the 10th September 2015 regarding a national agreement and the subsequent roll out of the vehicle in-cab technology to assist in significant fuel savings by influencing/changing driver behaviours/driving style. This is following the successful proof of concept trial that took place at Derby, Chesterfield, Leeds, Worksop, Kidderminster and Knutsford delivery offices during July and August.

In light of the information generated by the proof of concept and assurances received from Royal Mail regarding the use of the equipment we have agreed to the advance installation of the technology into 13k high mileage vehicles which will commence as from Monday 9th September 2015. In recognition of this Royal Mail have provided us with written confirmation that whilst hardware installations at the sites listed will go ahead, they will not commence use of the technology or turn on any of the functionality until we have concluded a national agreement endorsed by the Postal Executive.

The installation is expected to be finished during November 2015. Branches will be updated in due course of developments.

Any enquiries to Bob Gibson’s Office, quoting reference 300
Email address: Mstewart@cwu.org

Yours sincerely

Bob Gibson
CWU Assistant Secretary

Are there any updates available on this topic?
These units where due to be fitted at our office but "the engineer didn't turn up" once it was made clear they could not be operational
The units are causing great concern for a number of reasons.

What is the CWUs viewpoint and what is it trying to achieve in the agreement

Dear Colleague,


National Agreement - LCV Driver Behaviour Technology


Further to LTB 555/15 Branches and the proof of concept trial in 6 Delivery Offices Derby, Chesterfield, Leeds, Worksop, Kidderminster and Knutsford across the East, North and West areas we have now concluded our post trial discussions with Royal Mail and reached agreement on the above.


The National Agreement is designed to improve driver safety and a reduce road traffic accidents. The main monitoring element of the system is to achieve a 10% MPG improvement, and as such the technology will be fitted to approximately 13,000 vehicles in approximately 1300 locations across the UK.
We have agreed and included in the National Agreement that all individuals have a right to privacy at work and jointly accepted that there is an obligation on both parties to sustain confidence and trust in relation to all employees, and that we should act in a way to engender that type of relationship. Accordingly the driver performance data will remain confidential to the individual and will not be displayed on notice boards or in league tables, nor will it form part of performance management. It is also agreed that this technology is not being deployed for use as a disciplinary tool or a source of information to be used in conduct cases.
The CWU will be fully involved in the deployment at all levels which we have agreed is essential if the full benefits are to be realised. This will include all aspects of the initiative including implementation, monitoring, assessment and profile adjustment where agreed necessary. It will also include training opportunities for a number of nominated CWU representatives, providing them with a system overview. Full training will be supplied to all employees who will be required to use the new technology, and the training package will be agreed in full with the CWU before the system is switched on. The proposed go live date is 5th October 2015.
The agreement will be the subject of joint review 6 months after deployment and periodically thereafter. The installation of the technology/devices is still expected to be finished during November 2015. Branches will be updated of further developments.
