Teletrac Navman chosen as sole telematics partner to the UK’s premier specialist road/rail vehicle and infrastructure services provider

Teletrac Navman, the global connected mobility platform, has increased its existing contract to secure sole telematics partner status to Readypower Group in the UK, delivering a suite of innovative solutions across its entire fleet of over 750 vehicles. Readypower Group provides specialised on-track plant equipment as well as civil engineering, drainage, haulage and operating services. It plays a critical role in supporting and modernising the UK’s rail network as electrification and upgrade programmes continue throughout the country.

The new contract will see Teletrac Navman extend its support to Readypower Group across three key areas of fleet improvement that are central to the business’ strategic objectives: these being safety, compliance and sustainability. Location tracking, digital tachograph integration, and engine management telematics will be rolled out across the entire HGV fleet, with all data monitored in real-time through Teletrac Navman’s leading AI-powered fleet management platform, TN360, delivering smart, predictive and actionable insights. A mixture of Teletrac Navman’s fully integrated forward-facing, 360 degree and driver-facing cameras are also being installed, with additional external vision and proximity aids being added to vehicles required to achieve DVS Safe System compliance.

The combination of the cameras and TN360 will enable Readypower Group’s Fleet Managers to see inside and outside the cabs on all vehicles to check the road conditions, their driver’s driving style and in-cab behaviour at the time of any accident, or incident of perceived unsafe driving or non-compliance with the DVS safety standards. The data can then be used for instant in-cab training or future individual driving training programmes. Russell Jack, CEO of Readypower Group, said: “We’re delighted to be bringing all our fleet management needs under one supplier agreement.

Teletrac Navman has been a close partner of Readypower Group for 15 years and has helped to drive the adoption of technology that directly impacts our core pillars of safety, compliance and sustainability. “As well as streamlining operations we’re particularly committed to improving our sustainability and this is where Teletrac Navman’s solutions will be supporting our business. With TN360’s sustainability dashboard, we’ll now have full ability to monitor and report on our carbon emissions and driver efficiency on the road, as well identify opportunities for improvement and future energy transition across the fleet.”

Barney Goffer, UK Product Manager at Teletrac Navman, said: “Fleet management is becoming an increasingly more complex task and through pushing innovation we’ve been able to simplify processes that can transform the way our customers operate.

We’re looking forward to helping Readypower Group advance to the next phase of their fleet operation.”
