The Freight Best Practice programme has launched a new free guide, Telematics for Efficient Road Freight Operations.

The guide looks at the most up-to-date telematic technology within the transport industry and gives practical advice on the selection and use of telematics across all sectors of the freight industry.

It covers telematics for vehicle and driver data, paperless proof-of-delivery systems, vehicle tracking, sat-nav and traffic information systems, safety and security.

It is free and uses case studies to show the benefits.

A spokesman said: “Effective use of the right system can lead to significant improvements in fleet security, productivity and efficiency leading in turn to increased profitability.”
