LeFleur Transportation to Use GreenRoad Technologies’ Safety Center

American LeFleur Transportation, a developer of comprehensive human service transportation systems, has announced that it is about to add Israeli GreenRoad Technologies’ safety center to its entire fleet, which consists of over 300 vehicles. GreenRoad’s safety center will increase LeFleur’s fleet's safety, improve its services quality, and strengthen its driver training level - all while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.


About a month back, GreenRoad has also signed agreements with British Derby Council and St. Edmundsbury Borough Council to install its Safety Center in the council's fleet. These councils have joined Adur and Worthing Council Services which has installed GreenRoad's Safety Center in its fleet and Staffordshire Council which is installing the device in local teens’ cars to improve road safety.
Earlier this year, Amadeus Capital Partners, the European technology investor, has joined Virgin Green Fund, Benchmark Capital, and Balderton Capital in providing C round financing of $17.5 million to expand GreenRoad’s R&D, sales and marketing efforts.
