DESPITE  the Coronavirus pandemic which has led to large parts of the UK being in varying periods of lockdown, Oxford-based technology solutions provider, Ebbon-Dacs, has seen a sharp increase in usage of its electronic vehicle delivery and collection solution, moDel.

In the eleven months from January to end of November, there has been a 65% rise in new vehicle deliveries through the model-VM stand-alone version which is intended for vehicle deliveries which are not integrated with Ebbon-Dacs’ e-procurement platform, Leaselink.

Now the most popular form of the moDel solution, moDel-VM accounted for more than 341,000 vehicle movements between logistics companies, dealers, leasing companies, brokers and end-users, both fleet and retail, in just eleven months – a new record.

This compares with 225,000 vehicle movements for the full 12 months of last year which itself was a new record and an increase of 26% on the previous year. 

So far this year, model-VM and its Leaselink-integrated stablemate, which is used mainly by major leasing companies, have together seen a record 429,000 vehicle movements – a 35% year on year increase – despite the Coronavirus restrictions.

The latest businesses to join the model-VM community are two logistics companies: Leicester-based Ecomotive Logistics and We Deliver Cars, based in Walsall.

Thomas Mallett, managing director at Ecomotive Logistics, said: “We deliver 20,000 lease cars every year using the moDel system. It is without doubt the leading electronic delivery system for leased cars and we appreciate the opportunity to test and develop new products before launch as well.

“We are building the electronic future of our business around moDel and we anticipate that this will put us in the best position for lease vehicle delivery throughout the next decade and beyond. We feel that moDel is the right choice to offer the highest level of service to our customers.”
