Australian transport companies will have the flexibility to deploy different types of telematics devices across one platform for specific logistics requirements, following the launch of Trimble’s Truck4U and FleetXPS (www.trimbletl.com/products/on-board-technology) in
Truck4U is a fixed on-board unit that provides real-time fleet management, while FleetXPS is a mobile on-board unit that connects wirelessly to Truck4U and enables driver interaction for fleet management and logistics activities.
Together, Truck4U and FleetXPS provide an open telematics platform that enables transport operators to customise their telematics set-up for different transport types such as long haul, short haul, pick-up and delivery, recurring runs, or subcontractors.
Trimble Transport & Logistics Australia business development manager Tom Debeule said the two telematics products will significantly benefit local transport operators by delivering a high level of flexibility.
