NavMan Wireless is celebrating a major milestone after fitting its system to its 50,000th UK vehicle.The UK’s largest manufacturer of tracking, messaging and navigation equipment for commercial fleet management hit the connections landmark earlier this month.

Steve Blackburn, Navman Wireless European vice-president, said: “This is a major milestone that we are delighted to have reached in such short space of time.

“This goes a long way to prove Navman Wireless products are reliable, proven, successful and attractive to fleet managers across the UK.”

Following recent soaring fuel prices, fleet operators across the UK have been flocking to introduce telematics systems, which include tracking, satellite navigation and integrated messaging.
 
A study by the Institute of Transport Management found such technology could reduce fuel consumption by 14%.

The company’s success earned it a growth strategy of the year award at the National Business Awards in July after launching the next generation of vehicle tracking, OnlineAVL2, earlier this year.

Mr Blackburn added: “The Navman Wireless brand has always been synonymous with innovation and performance – and this milestone certainly bolsters that reputation. We are delighted that our loyal customer base has supported our efforts over the years.”
