Case Study: Exhausts, Tyres and Batteries (ETB) cuts accidents by 40% and saves up to £30,000 on insurance with WEBFLEET telematics

Exhausts, Tyres and Batteries (ETB) - Customer Case Study

Exhausts, Tyres and Batteries (ETB) distributes tyres and automotive parts across the Midlands, Wales, the South West and Cornwall, operating 37 depots and a 100‑strong mixed fleet of HGVs, vans and cars. Repeated “cash for crash” claims, high insurance and accident management costs, and an administrative burden around driver hours and maintenance left ETB unable to prove responsibility or maintain compliance, so the company deployed Webfleet’s WEBFLEET fleet management platform with integrated MANTIS live cameras.

Webfleet implemented WEBFLEET with OptiDrive 360, CANbus fuel monitoring, Tachograph Manager and MANTIS cameras, plus a driver mobile app for digital vehicle checks; this gave ETB full fleet transparency and video evidence for incidents. Since rollout ETB has cut accidents by 40%, expects £25,000–£30,000 a year in insurance savings (up to £30,000), achieved a 35% reduction in tyre replacements after switching to Bridgestone Vanhawk tyres, improved fuel and maintenance visibility, and expects Webfleet to pay for itself within three years.
