Toyota Fleet Management has launched a new telematics system that they hope will promote safer driving practices, making things easier for fleet managers.
The ForceField Telematics system provides real-time tracking of both vehicle and driver performance.
Data taken from this technology can provide insight into ways of minimising vehicle accidents and reducing fleet running costs. This is achieved through alerts that highlight unsafe driving behaviour.
TFM general manager Ed Stanistreet said the improvements it can make to driver safety and efficiency can reduce the costs that result from unsafe driving.
"Unsafe driving practices can generate significant costs in employee injuries, lost productivity, damage to company assets, fines and even litigation."
The system, available in four packages, works through locator units attached to each fleet vehicle. Data is then transmitted wirelessly to the customers computer or mobile device.
