Connected car company Zubie has partnered with technology start-up CarAdvise to launch a programme designed to give small and mid-sized fleets a way to manage fleet maintenance.

Zubie says its Smart Maintenance programme will allow fleets to utilise a network of 20,000 services facilities, delivering average savings of 26%.

Zubie will provide fleet managers with a digital solution to detect and identify vehicle problems, then pay for vehicle service and repair.
