Why become a Program Partner?

Mercurien Group is joining the NRSPP because they recognise that the fastest and most effective way to get road safety initiatives implemented is to collaborate with other organisations. Their ‘outcome-based’ approach means that they embrace any external (3rd party) providers whose products either enhance safety and/or reduce operational costs.

Developed with an eye to the commercial motor-vehicle insurance sector, the data generated supports the NRSPP discussion paper: In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS): Safety through good practice telematics, because Mercurien Group can:

  1. Work with operators to improve holistic safety procedures,
  2. Contribute to the creation of tailored insurance policies that reward them for doing so, whilst
  3. Using the data generated to enhance insurance pricing engines, and
  4. Generate feedback to guide R&D into technical product and service improvements
