Auto-Q Trials FleetTrak With a Major UK Local Government to Protect Vehicles And Minimize Claims
LONDON, Sept. 11 -- Auto-Q International Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: AUTQ) , a leading provider of vehicle tracking and monitoring systems for trucking fleets and consumers, announced today further development of its business to local governments.
A leading Borough Council in the UK has turned to Auto-Q's FleetTrak vehicle monitoring system to protect itself against dubious claims and complaints of poor service.
The council decided earlier this year to install vehicle tracking in its maintenance vehicles because of increasing claims and complaints about non- attendance, poor timekeeping and damage. It also wanted to tighten up fleet management to ensure vehicles were being operated correctly.
The council is currently conducting a long term trial over a cross section of it's vehicle fleet.
FleetTrak was chosen for the trial because it offers a comprehensive package at a competitive price.
As the trial develops the council is finding more applications for FleetTrak. It's being used for street cleaners, to ensure gulley emptiers complete their rounds correctly and that trash collection occurs on time. It is also useful for protecting lone drivers and for locating the nearest vehicle is if an emergency repair is needed.
The trial should be completed within a month following which Auto-Q hopes to rollout FleetTrak to most of the council's 300 vehicles.
FLEETTRAK
FleetTrak is a complete 'black box' asset management tool. Data transmitted from the cab enables a fleet operator to monitor position, direction, speed, fuel flow, engine speed and braking, painting a complete picture of what the vehicle is doing and how it is being driven. The data can be used to compile regular vehicle management reports, revealing how both vehicle and driver are performing. An optional in-cab monitor enables the drivers to use the data themselves to improve their driving. FleetTrak users report a 5-10% fuel saving across a typical mixed fleet, and the system provides the operator with a safeguard against risky or impatient driving and the potentially disastrous results.
