16/02/2012 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
The fleet management partnership between Go-Ahead Group and MiX Telematics – claimed to be a key contributor in Go-Ahead's increasing fuel efficiency by 12% since 2007/8 – is now set to continue for a further four years.

Go Ahead Group extends MiX Telematics contractOriginally covering 3,500 buses nationwide, including 1,500 in London, the success of the programme has seen the contract grow over the past three years. Today, the performance of no fewer than 4,000 Go-Ahead buses is monitored by MiX Telematics telematic systems.

"Ours was the first large-scale deployment of a fleet management solution within the bus industry, and the long-term results generated by the system, which have been achieved in combination with our other efficiency-enhancing activities, have certainly been impressive," comments Go-Ahead group engineering director Phil Margrave.

"Since its introduction, the MiX Telematics team have proved themselves to be perfect partners," he adds.

"They understand our business, deliver on their promises and have worked alongside us every step of the way to continuously improve and develop our use of the system. They have also proven themselves to be more than capable of facilitating major change within a large organisation such as ours."
