In a move which the 1692 TomTom Telematics says will give companies in both countries access to its fleet management technology TomTom has launched its Webfleet fleet management platform in Chile and Mexico.

Webfleet provides greater visibility into fleet operations, combining professional navigation and world-class traffic information with award-winning driver improvement technology to help business drivers spend less time on the road and to use less fuel.

The development follows the acquisition of Coordina (Gestion Electronica Logistica), the Spanish market leader in fleet management solutions, in 2013, building on existing infrastructure in both countries.

“Commercial vehicle fleets oil the wheels of both the Mexican and Chilean economies but, at the same time, contribute to environmental pollution. Furthermore, these fleets frequently operate in urban areas to serve their customers, facing heavy traffic congestion and changes to job schedules,” said Javier Cañestro, director business development Latin America at TomTom Telematics.

“Mexico City was revealed as the second most congested large city in the world in the last TomTom Traffic Index, while authorities in Santiago de Chile announced the city’s first environmental emergency in 16 years in June due to high smog levels.

“With more than eight million commercial vehicles in operation in these countries and telematics penetration of around seven per cent, both Mexico and Chile represent attractive market opportunities for TomTom Telematics,” added Cañestro.

    Grand plans have been announced for transport investment in India aimed at boosting city economies. India’s Government Secretary for Urban Development Sudhir Krishna explains all to Jason Barnes. There are many reasons for developed countries’ high levels of urbanisation, not least of which is that the types of employment to be found in towns and cities tend to generate relatively greater wealth and so make greater contributions to a country’s economy. That creates the imperative for developing nations to f
