UK firms to face increasing vehicle collision & compensation costs

So says vehicle tracking specialist Navman Wireless, which is launching a new integrated vehicle tracking and camera technology solution for both commercial vehicles and cars. The ‘360 Degree’ fleet safety solution, which integrates telematics, vehicle tracking technology and in-cab safety camera equipment supplied by SmartWitness, is designed to improve road safety, reduce insurance costs and enhance duty of care.

According to Navman Wireless, the combination of the two systems creates a 'seamless umbrella of preventive and protective technology’.

‘Prevention is better than cure, and using data from telematics and vehicle tracking software to help mitigate poor driving significantly reduces on-road risk, but when you are on the road you need 360 degrees of protection,’ said Scott Hutchins, VP sales UK & Ireland, Navman Wireless. 

Paul Singh, CEO, Y3K Group (SmartWitness) said: ‘We are very excited to have Navman's industry leading solutions now available together with our award winning range of Smart Witness cameras, the combination of the 2 provides an excellent all round solution for fleets of all sizes, helping business owners proactively combat the risks on today's roads’.
