Tanker tracking technology ticks all of the boxes 07 January 2014

Logistics operator Norbert Dentressangle is extending its use of an Isotrak vehicle tracking system to its UK tanker distribution operations, after the system proved its worth with other Norbert Dentressangle UK businesses.

The company will use vehicle tracking and live vehicle diagnostics to track and manage its fleet, which carries liquid chemicals, bulk gas, packed cylinder and dry bulk powders.

With 120 vehicles already employing the system at Norbert Dentressangle Tankers, on behalf of a major customer, the new rollout will extend the total number of vehicles monitored to 260, operating from 31 sites across the UK.

"The ability to track our fleet accurately and manage safe driving styles is a key reason for investing in the advanced solution," says Danny Woodiwiss, general manager for fuel and chemical operations.

"The system is based on standard Isotrak vehicle tracking with the contactless CANBus module. This will show us how vehicles are being driven so that we can monitor such things as harsh braking and acceleration."

All Norbert drivers undergo an annual on-road assessment and the tracking system will be used to support this, identifying specific areas for improvement.
