Masternaut brings telematics to short-term hire vehicles

Telematics
Masternaut has launched a new device, the M300, which can easily be fitted to short-term hire vehicles so eliminating installation costs.

The M300 is mounted to the windscreen and, says Masternaut, is ready to use in minutes. The device is powered by an internal battery, so it can be removed and reinstalled easily without the need to take a vehicle off the road or pay for an engineer.

This means operators can add short-term hire vehicles – or any other vehicles not currently tracked – to their fleet management dashboard, as the M300 data will appear in Masternaut Connect.

Dhruv Parekh, Masternaut’s CEO, says: “We’ve built a secure platform that takes inputs from different hardware and provides actionable insights to our customers through one application. The M300 is consistent with our strategy to remove installation hurdles and make collecting vehicle data from various sources on our platform easy, so we can provide better insights to our customers.”

In May, Masternaut announced a global partnership with Vauxhall, offering factory-fit telematics.
