Increasing safety, reducing emissions: the way forward for truck telematics

Keeping truck drivers safe and reducing emissions is top priority for fleet managers, who are increasingly investing in fleet management solutions for that purpose. Using advanced telematics, it is now becoming increasingly popular for fleet managers to keep track of their drivers using real-time navigation and communication devices to derive driver data to assess the safety and efficiency of their fleets.

Navigation company Masternaut has launched a device called Masternaut Pro, which used in conjunction with Masternaut Connect can provide users and businesses an all-in-one solution for real time telematics, communication and navigation. The device is built-in to the vehicle and provides advanced route planning, real time 3D map visualisation, and turn-by-turn voice instructions, while providing drivers with immediate feedback on their driving style to coach safer and more efficient driving.
