Stolen vehicle and automotive service provider LoJack Italia (Lojack) has provided CalAmp’s telematics technology to Ald Automotive Italia (ALD). The agreement aims to allow the fleet management and lease company to gain a real-time understanding of its vehicles as well as offer an improved service while reducing operational expenses.

Through the agreement, ALD clients are provided with access to mileage, fuel consumption and other maintenance data. CalAmp's Crashboxx is also available to supply instant crash notifications, physical damage estimates and accident reconstruction information.

Additionally, the location and availability of ALD's courtesy car fleet are included for drivers that need a replacement vehicle after experiencing mechanical issues. Trackable information for stolen vehicle recovery is also enabled through the partnership.

Maurizio Iperti, general manager for LoJack, said: "These new capabilities from LoJack Italia, via CalAmp, will provide ALD and its customers with actionable information on everything from routes and tracking to maintenance issues and emergency response. The value add from implementing telematics will lower cost of ownership and help keep ALD vehicles on the road, providing an immediate return on investment for ALD and its customers."

ALD will test vehicles equipped with the solution before rolling out new capabilities, first to its Italian client base and then more widely throughout Europe.
