Cobra launches first windscreen mounted telematics device

Cobra UK is launching a unique windscreen mounted telematics box to the UK at Post Magazine’s Insurance Telematics Expo 2012 in London on 11 July.

The event offers a platform for the launch of this new windscreen mounted telematics box, which offers a range of additional benefits to fleet operators, including enhanced data provision, an optional eCall button and reduced installation time.

Cobra’s ‘Black Box’ technology is currently fitted to thousands of vehicles across the UK and mainland Europe and its new windscreen mounted device is the first of its kind in the UK.

Andrew Smith, managing director at Cobra UK, said: “The Usage Based Insurance market is growing rapidly as innovative technology delivers proven, scalable and highly efficient ways for insurers to reduce risk, based on actual driver behaviour. Insurance premiums are rocketing out of control and our windscreen mounted device is a new development that we know will help to further reduce premiums, as well as contributing to improved road safety, by encouraging safer driving. We are delighted to sponsor this event that will bring together key decision makers in the vehicle insurance arena at such a pivotal moment for insurance telematics growth.”
