Anglian Water Expands Vehicle Tracking Solution With Novatel Wireless
February 09 2016 - 7:35AM
Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIFI), a leading global provider of
solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that
the Ctrack fleet management solution has been extended to an
additional 500 vans within the Anglian Water UK fleet. The solution
has achieved a host of benefits in terms of road safety, fuel
efficiency and environmental responsibility. This latest agreement,
brings the total number of vehicles monitored by Ctrack to 1,750,
after the initial install in 2014 across 750 vehicles in Anglian
Water’s treatments, waterworks and waste water operations.
In addition to vehicle tracking services, the Ctrack fleet
management solution provides Anglian Water with a proprietary
Driver Behavior Indicator and an online reporting tool. This
combination has enabled Anglian Water to identify areas of
improvement and maximize its driver training initiative. A
year after the initial installation the company achieved an almost
50% reduction in the number of driver incidents, such as speeding,
harsh acceleration, braking and cornering. Other return on
investment benefits have included a decrease in road accidents, an
increase in fuel efficiency and a drop in carbon emissions.
“We have worked closely with Ctrack to develop an effective
tracking solution with driver behavior monitoring that supports our
commitment to Duty of Care,” said Stewart Lightbody, Head of Fleet
Services at Anglian Water. “The safety of our staff, other road
users and pedestrians in the areas we operate is our biggest
priority, so we are delighted to see such positive changes to
driver behavior. Moving forward we are targeting a 25% reduction in
accidents as well as further improvements in fuel efficiency.”
“We are leveraging our IoT SaaS expertise with enterprise
customers to develop highly effective solutions in partnership with
utilities companies like American Water in the U.S. and now Anglian
Water in the U.K.,” said Sue Swenson, CEO of Novatel
Wireless. “Novatel Wireless remains at the forefront of
innovation and continues to deliver new services that help our
fleet customers increase business efficiencies and keep their
drivers safe on the road.” A powerful yet
