MiX Telematics, a leading global provider of fleet management solutions, has called on commercial vehicle owners and operators visiting specialised automotive shows to study options of adopting latest fleet management solutions for improved operations.

The shows specialised in automotive products should position fleet management technologies and solutions as a crucial part of the automotive sector, highlighting its ability to tackle the challenges faced by vehicles, fleet owners and operators in diverse industries such as oil and gas, transportation, government and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), said the industry expert.

According to MiX Telematics, the operators should make an extra effort to understand new technology at such shows which often put high emphasis on merely displaying telematics solutions rather than demonstrating its benefits like reducing fuel costs and improving driver safety and behaviours.

Most operators using the company’s solutions have reported good return on investment (ROI), fuel savings, reduced maintenance, more efficient use of driver time and fewer accidents, it added.

MiX Telematics’ products and services are available in 112 countries worldwide, which gives the company an unrivalled expertise on the global stage, it said.

Brodie von Berg, the head of sales and marketing at the company’s Middle East operations, said: “This has to happen because these shows have a responsibility towards end users, businesses and the larger society.”

“The more the automotive industry uses telematics and fleet management solutions, the better will be the outcomes earned at macro and micro levels,” he observed.

“The rapid development of the telematics industry in countries like the UK and the US should propel other markets, including the Gulf, to switch to improved solutions. We believe exhibitions and specialised conferences can highlight the significance and feasibility of the telematics solutions and in turn ensure safer and greener world,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
