WT Installations fits MAN telematics

Computer hardware logistics specialist WT Installations says MAN's telematics package, fitted in its 11 new TGL and TGM trucks, will help boost the operation's bottom line.

MD Ian Carter explains: "The onboard telematics will certainly help our drivers maximise productivity. We anticipate a reduction in downtime too, particularly as a result of prolonging clutch life."

Telematics are fitted as part of the MAN fleet-management package. Two of the trucks have factory-fit crew-cabs with space for installation teams, while the rest are a mix of L-cab single and LX double-sleepers.

The Middlesex firm's new trucks are all fitted with Tipmatic transmissions, rear air-suspension, and specialised bodywork and tail-lifts to handle high-value loads. Seven of the rigids run at 12 tonnes, the remainder at 18 tonnes.
