PHH Blog

Welcome to the conversation!

Our weblog is really a kind of online journal written by various experts we’ve invited to participate. They offer their opinions and comments on issues related to fleet management. You also have the opportunity to respond or ask questions. So go ahead and join the conversation.

Just a note: The opinions of the writers don’t necessarily reflect the position of PHH Arval on these subjects.

What price for staying connected?

Is your need to keep up with the latest mobile technologies, stay “hyper-connected,” and increase productivity throughout the day actually costing you in the long run? I see it all the time: drivers on their cell phones. It doesn’t matter anymore whether they’re handheld or hands-free – talking on a cell phone while driving is a form of distracted driving. Texting while driving is even more distracting.

Two blizzards, one week. And PHH service delivery never missed a step.

February 16, 2010

As you may have heard…we got a little snow last week. Here in Baltimore we were treated to a combined 50 inches of snow from a blizzard on February 6 and another blizzard on February 10. Baltimore had the dubious, but brief honor of being the “Snowiest City in the US.” Take that, Syracuse.

It’s times like these that a company’s Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is put through the paces. Last week, we had a chance to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Le Circuit de Montréal

February 12, 2010

By Leanne Anderson
Manager, Product Development & Marketing

On Thursday, January 21, we were excited to host an event where PHH clients, employees and supplier partners came together for a day of risk and safety awareness.

The event, hosted by PHH, took place at ICAR Motorsport Complex in Mirabel, Quebec, a professional racing and training facility. A day-long circuit took our guests through various winter driving safety presentations and exercises. Clients discussed PHH's risk and safety products, visited presentations from our supplier partners that showcased their products’ safety features, and heard about PHH's a la carte products for risk and safety. The highlight was the in-car, professional winter driving exercises that allowed participants to learn and practice safe braking and emergency lane-changing on a safe, icy track. Drivers also practiced over-steering and under-steering correction on a skid circle and took different vehicles through an icy slalom course to compare traction and safety features.

Even the media had a great time! Montreal’s 6 o’clock news was there to cover the event. Click here to see the video.

PHH offers a full range of risk and safety services, geared to fit our clients’ needs. For more information, visit the Risk Management section of our website.
