Lowes Transport has cut its insurance costs by £70,000 with new technology from Trakm8. Lowes has installed the RH600 4G telematics camera and implemented Trakm8’s tacho download solution across its fleet of more than 70 vehicles.  

 

Heath Lowe, managing director of Lowes Transport said: “The RH600 camera has been a game-changer for us. Its superior video quality not only gives us peace of mind but has also directly contributed to our £70,000 insurance savings this year. It’s an investment that has paid off significantly.”

 

The RH600 4G uses a high definition camera to capture video recordings. Combined with telematics data, the system enables transport managers to access real time video monitoring and insights into compliance, safety and accidents. The data can be used to protect the company against fraudulent insurance claims. Telematics information can also be leveraged to improve fuel efficiency and driver behaviour. 

 

Alongside the camera solution, the tacho download system allows Lowes to simplify its tachograph data management to keep compliant with driver hours. Trakm8’s system automatically collects tacho data which can be accessed remotely. Fleet managers can generate reports to streamline audits and demonstrate compliance. 

 

Joe Heidari, fleet and optimisation sales director at Trakm8 said: “We’re delighted to see the measurable impact our RH600 camera and Tacho Download Solution have had on Lowes Transport. They are a fantastic example of how leveraging advanced telematics can lead to tangible cost savings and operational improvements.”

 

Lowes also uses a GPS and GPRS tracking system to offer customers live updates on deliveries and expected time of arrival. Lowe added: “We are committed to investing in the future of our business and providing our customers with the best possible service. With Trakm8’s technology, we’ve not only improved fleet safety and efficiency but also enhanced the overall customer experience.”
