MiX Telematics exhibiting at this year’s Commercial Vehicle Show Stand 4J48

Uncontrollable forces dictate the price you have to pay for a litre of diesel, faceless bureaucrats in Brussels hand down restrictive directive after directive, while all around you the competition closes in. Rival firms are looking to steal your customers and turn your staff, but the public still relies on you to provide a national service.

It's an explosive concoction and time is in short supply. The clock is ticking. If you hide in the dark of the depot, twitching the blinds and hoping for external help, you may find it is not forthcoming. The government has failed to provide, rejecting mayday calls for a cut in fuel duty and now the future of your fleet needs you to be proactive.

If there is any way to safeguard your company's future in the space of a day, you will uncover it on Friday April 29th at Birmingham's NEC. More than 18,000 high-level movers and shakers from Great Britain and beyond will descend on the Midlands in an intelligence-gathering mission.

You must ensure you're a part of this. Your fleet needs you.

Top secret stat: You are in a competitive environment. There are 35.7 million commercial vehicles in Europe, while 5.9 million medium and heavy trucks account for more than three-quarters of all inland transports in a £210 billion industry.

Fleet management is an ongoing process, but even the mightiest of revolutions need a starting point. They also need strong support, an inspiring ideology and expertise. You can find all of this and more at the MiX Telematics stand.

Get hands-on experience with all tiers of fleet management products. See how satellite positioning technology can be used to improve the safety and efficiency of your fleet. Feel the power at your fingertips as you swipe at tablets and smartphones, accessing comprehensive data on all the vehicles and staff in your organisation.

Predict how big an impact tailored and incentivised driver behaviour training will have on your own operatives by analysing the past success of MiX Telematics' multi-skilled fleet consultants.

Find out how easy it is to keep your high-priced vehicles in tip-top condition with a simple computer programme that can both ensure adherence to VOSA maintenance standards and speed up the rectification process.

During your stay at the MiX stand, be vigilant and let the twin pillars of high-level fleet management - safety and efficiency - support your decision-making. Every second you spend here will be a good investment. Make sure you ask questions about time savings, reduced administration, fuel savings, improved vehicle service management and driver behaviour. You'll regret it if you don't.
