Jaama exhibited at this week’s Fleet Live for the fourth time and it certainly didn’t disappoint!
With a record-breaking attendance for the two day show it was the perfect opportunity for Jaama to showcase the latest developments made to its industry-leading, web-based Key2 software, including:
• NEW Earned Recognition Scheme module
• NEW GDPR functionality
• NEW WLTP functionality
• Significant functionality enhancements to mobile application – ‘MyVehicle App’.
At the UK’s leading event for the fleet management community, Jaama proudly sponsored two expert seminars.
Richard Hennessey, Director of Operations DVSA, gave an insightful talk around the benefits of the Earned Recognition Scheme and how the scheme offers a new way for truck, bus and coach operators to prove they meet driver and vehicle standards.
As a validated IT supplier for the DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme, the specialists from Jaama were on hand to offer advice to visitors about the scheme.
On day two Nick Denton Traffic Commissioner, West Midlands discussed how to ensure your fleet stays on the right side of compliance issues in areas such as drivers’ hours and vehicle maintenance.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond announced that the 2018 Budget will be held later this month (Monday, 29 October.) It is hoped that the Chancellor will perform a U-turn on the […]

Green number plates could be introduced on clean cars, vans, and taxis under new plans to promote awareness of ultra-low emission vehicles.
The special plates are thought to encourage take-up among drivers and could help support local incentives for electric vehicles such as access to bus or low emission vehicle lanes, electric charging bays or ultra-low-emission-zones.
Similar schemes are already used in countries such as Norway, Canada, and China.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: “Adding a green badge of honour to these new clean vehicles is a brilliant way of helping increase awareness of their growing popularity in the UK, and might just encourage people to think about how one could fit into their own travel routine.”
Drivers who fail to read a number plate from 20m (65ft) away when stopped by the police will have their licences revoked immediately.
In the new crackdown officers from Thames Valley, Hampshire and West Midlands will test the eyesight of every motorist they stop throughout September.
Data will be collected from each test and used to gain an improved understanding of the extent of poor driver eyesight.
Officers can request an urgent revocation of a licence through the DVLA if they believe the safety of other road users will be put at risk if a driver remains on the road.
HMRC has bowed to campaigning from ACFO and will introduce an Advisory Fuel Rate (AFR) for 100% electric cars from September 1 at 4p per mile. It will be published alongside AFR’s for petrol, diesel and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cars based on engine size. Plug-in hybrid and hybrid cars will continue to be treated […]
Around half of small and medium size businesses are unaware that Clean Air Zones will start to be implemented in towns and cities across the UK as early as next year, according to a survey by one of Jaama’s industry associate members – The BVRLA. A third of those asked were unaware that the Clean […]
Drivers are being encouraged to take the ‘number plate test’ by the DVLA, as a quick and easy way to check they meet the minimum eyesight requirements for driving.
By law, all drivers must meet the minimum eyesight standards at all times when driving – this includes being able to read a number plate from 20 metres.
The DVLA ‘EYE 735T’ campaign is reminding the public that they can easily check their eyesight by taking the 20 metres test and is pointing out some ways to quickly identify 20 metres at the roadside.
It is advising that five car lengths or eight parking bays can be an easy way to measure the distance.
The campaign is also encouraging anyone with concerns about their eyesight to visit their optician or optometrist for an eye test.
