RSSThe Ziegler Group has selected the 1985 Trimble CarCube fleet management system for its fleet of 2,000 heavy goods vehicles across Europe. The system is a comprehensive fleet management solution that offers a suite of features designed to improve efficiency and communication between fleet operators and their drivers. These include driver identification; navigation capabilities; task planning and status reporting; trailer identification and verification; journey time assistance to comply with 1816 European Union regulations for drivers; integrated Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMRs) transportation documentation scanning; Fleet Management System (FMS) data capabilities such as fuel consumption, speed, engine revs, braking, cruise control, engine temperature and many others; and two-way driver data communications via an easy-to-use touch screen computer installed in the cab.

"As a freight forwarder operating in European markets, we needed an advanced international fleet management solution and service. CarCube meets all of our requirements," said Daniel Verschelde, European information systems director at the Ziegler Group.
