WJ Group – Vehicle Safety
WJ Group buys its chassis from major truck manufacturers but then builds the final bodywork at its West Yorkshire plant. The chassis costs £70K- £80K but the final vehicle will be worth £150,000, and highly specialised. As a result, the fleet is an enormous capital asset to WJ Group, and this is an excellent incentive to keep those vehicles roadworthy and prevent damage. Building their own vehicles also means that safety is designed in, and safety equipment is added as an integral part of the manufacturing process rather than retrofitted. This means the company can seamlessly update vehicles, and immediately produce new vehicles with the latest kit. All their vehicles have proximity sensors and blind spot cameras as standard. Roadworthiness compliance is a natural extension of the group’s commitment to safety and the protection of its assets. Drivers are equipped with the r2c Connected Fleet and Workshop app, which records their daily vehicle checks and sends defects alerts to the workshop.
