Micro safety kit

Fleet News is always keen to promote safety, which is why we like Hazlights' new Micro safety kit.
Used in the event of a breakdown, the kit consists of three LED micro studs that are placed around the car and emit a light bright enough to be seen by motorists travelling up to one kilometre away, even in poor weather conditions. And there's no worry about the lights dimming, as they're programmed to flash for 24 hours on a full battery.
The studs can be recharged in a carry case that plugs into any standard cigarette lighter.
The safety kit costs £39.95.

So if potential customers want your phone number but haven't got a pen, they can just help themselves to a business card.
The Psisoft kit includes two cardholders, two vinyl signs, two bases and four glue pads.

Spal anti car jack

FLEETs can now double the security on company cars following the launch of system which activates a warning alarm if the vehicle has been taken using stolen car keys. The Spal anti car jack uses a unit fitted into the vehicle and a transponder, which is a small electronic tag carried by the driver. If the car is stolen, the transponder detects its movement and within three minutes, the horn will sound and the hazard lights flash.
A tracking module can also be added to the system for additional security. The kit costs £299.

The batteries also have terminal protectors and have been constructed with thicker grids designed to reduce corrosion. All come with a four-year warranty.
