At Birway, we are continuing to invest in our fleet through the purchase of new Scania trucks and Belle Trailers. Scania’s, we believe, are the best in the marketplace and the advantage of new models ensures they are more reliable and down time is minimised.

The new bodies are also fully equipped to facilitate the loading of newer wider and larger cars on the market such as the new long wheelbase Range Rover. Belle Trailers specialises in the innovative design of new build car transporters and can modify existing ones or design and build new transporters to meet our client’s demands.

All of our transporters are professionally branded and maintained by the manufacturer.

Birway’s transporters have been validated and load trialled by Jaguar Land Rover products including the new long wheelbase Range Rover and Range Rover Sport RS version. We also provide transportation for Renault, Volkswagen, Audi, and BMW.

CNG & HVO Fuelled Trucks

Birway is committed to being environmentally responsible through our full range of services. The company holds ISO 14001: 2015 accreditation, which is a clear demonstration of our commitment to reducing our impact on the environment, and our aim is to mirror some of our clients targets of being Net Carbon Zero by 2039.

Whilst our transport division is making significant investments in gas-fuelled and electric trucks our fleet of company cars are now all hybrid or fully electric vehicles. Discover more here about our CNG and HVO fuelled trucks.

Scania Fleet Monitoring Software

We subscribe to the Scania Fleet Monitoring Package which is an easy-to-use service that helps us to improve our fleet economy. We receive weekly email summaries covering all of our Scania vehicles. From these we can see at a glance how each vehicle is performing, and which ones need special attention.

Weekly information from the Monitoring Report can quickly help us reduce operating costs. It enables us to spot potential problems early, be able to guide drivers into adopting more economical driving habits and improve our service planning. We also receive monthly summary reports and a summary at the end of the year, allowing us to identify and act upon trends and patterns that cover longer periods of time.

The monitoring report includes the following information:
Fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, trucks experiencing any issues, coasting, economical speed, idling and heavy breaking.

Vehicle Camera Systems and Mobile CCTV

We have recently invested in award-winning Spillard Vehicle Camera Systems and Mobile CCTV. The Spillard Live cloud platform captures, processes and learns from an equally innovative video telematics system that displays real-time video and analytics from multiple cameras over a fleet of vehicles simultaneously. All of this live data is safely stored on a UK secured system with full GDPR compliance, providing invaluable trend analysis to support higher safety standards and aiding in better driving habits and accident reduction.

The improved field of vision to the operator and the high-definition images makes reversing and manoeuvring far safer and dramatically reduces workplace accidents and vehicle damage.

The connected advanced vehicle system provides reassurance to operators and fleet managers with regards to operational safety when driving on today’s busy roads and manoeuvring in congested depots. It also improves drivers’ all-round awareness with speech alert technology provided by integrating safety components, including multiple camera devices, rear/nearside object detection and OE vehicle sensors, reducing incidents and vehicle maintenance.

The range of cameras really has something for all vehicle types. From rear-view/reversing camera to side-view and wide eye cameras this technology really can see what you can’t and is captured in real time with use of the recorders. The range of camera’s are tough, have adjustable mounting, weatherproof and some even have infrared night vision. With
this technology we can be sure that our field of vision is completely covered at all times allowing us to operate our vehicles night and day, what-ever the weather and with peace of mind.

Rear-view camera.

Immediate rear-view vision. Can capture loading and unloading from the rear of the vehicle. Can capture passing traffic and passengers whilst stationary or manoeuvring in reverse. It can also record theft, damage or tampering from the rear of the vehicle.
