A new risk and safety program from PHH Arval is designed to target risk and safety needs for commercial truck fleets by identifying high risk drivers, providing driver training, and managing the risk and costs of collisions that do happen, the company said.

PHH’s Truck Risk and Safety program includes PHH Collision Prevention, a comprehensive program the company said can reduce accident rates by as much as 40%; driver training programs in the classroom and through simulators; and comprehensive accident management services. The services can be delivered either together or as stand-alone offerings.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, commercial motor vehicles were involved in over 4,000 fatal accidents and 368,000 traffic crashes overall in 2006.
