Masternaut has achieved Thatcham Category 5 for its vehicle tracking system.

Category 5 ensures the highest level of police response in the case of vehicle theft.

The firm is the first commercial vehicle telematics supplier to secure this category for a full range of vehicles including vans, HGVs and plant.

“There has been a 100% recovery rate among vehicles fitted with Thatcham Category 5 tracking systems and all but one vehicle was recovered within two hours,” said Mike Briggs, vehicle security manager at Thatcham.

“For us Masternaut is important as it will open up a significant commercial vehicle market and fleet operators and their insurers can be assured that vehicles will have the ultimate in vehicle security.”
