Transline Logistics has teamed up with Intelligent Telematics to fit a vehicle camera system to its fleet. 

The company installed 40 IT1000 3G forward-facing cameras as part of its commitment to improving road safety, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing insurance costs, with plans to roll-out the system to more than 200 commercial vehicles.

Transline Logistics will use the cameras alongside its existing tracking solution to achieve complete visibility of all in-house and owner driver vehicles. It will not only provide proof of what occurred in the event of a crash, but also enable the company to identify areas of improvement within the fleet. A detailed report will provide a complete breakdown of all collisions, near misses and harsh driving events, so it can individually tailor its extensive training programme and maximise the use of its state-of the-art driving simulators.

Phil Chester, fleet and risk manager at Transline Group said: “We are committed to assessing and training each of our drivers to meet all legal and health and safety obligations while achieving the highest levels of operational performance. We expect the IT1000 3G cameras to help raise standards within the business and we are already seeing a noticeable shift in driver behaviour. Moving forward, this will enable us to improve road safety, reduce insurance costs and enhance Duty of Care.”

Sam Footer, head of international business and strategic development at Intelligent Telematics added: ““Our IT1000 forward facing camera provides unrivalled visibility of road collisions and other harsh driving events, so commercial vehicle operators can reduce the severity and frequency of vehicle fleet insurance claims, while helping modify driving styles and minimise potential risk. Fleet businesses are increasingly recognising the multiple benefits that can be achieved in terms of operating more responsibly and efficiently.”
