Grey vehicle telematics box from Trakm818 February 2022

With the COVID-19 pandemic encouraging more businesses than ever before to embrace a mixed or grey fleet, vehicle technology specialist Trakm8 has launched a new telematics solution that can easily be installed in employee vehicles.

The Connect 430 S has been engineered specifically for use in the fleet sector, providing a compact and robust solution that can be quickly and easily installed into any vehicle thanks to its self-install option. The C430 S provides fleet managers with data rich insights into driver behaviour and vehicle status, alongside highly accurate GPS location data.

Designed to make the transition to grey fleet as seamless as possible for businesses, the C430 S can be easily moved from vehicle to vehicle, with the self-fit device connecting to a vehicle’s OBD socket via a ribbon cable. Among the key insights the C430 S delivers to fleets are real-time driver feedback, including alerts to speeding, harsh driving events such as braking, cornering and acceleration, and excessive idling.

Using Trakm8’s Insight online portal, fleet managers can access information from this rich array of data and use it to monitor their fleet, optimise efficiency and monitor fleet health to reduce vehicle down time. What’s more, the C430 S can also help businesses identify driver training opportunities – ultimately promoting fleet safety. Coupling the C430 S with Trakm8’s ACC750 Driver ID and feedback device provides live driver coaching and scoring with a wide range of real-time alerts, highlighting for example harsh braking, cornering and acceleration, using clear visuals and audible prompts.

Chris Horbowyj, channel sales director at Trakm8, said: “The ease of installation means the device can be simply plugged in without the costliness of an engineer. It’s particularly beneficial for grey fleets that need maximum flexibility. The C430 S device is designed as a solution for fleets that are becoming increasingly reactive as ways of working continue to differ from traditional approaches.”
