ScottishPower Awards Trakm8 Telematics Contract

Trakm8, the AIM quoted telematics and data provider to the global market place, is pleased to announce it has been awarded an initial four year contract by ScottishPower to supply Fleet tracking and driver behavior solutions for 1,608 vehicles.

ScottishPower is part of the Iberdrola Group and is one of the UK's leading utility companies, working often in extreme weather conditions. Telematics are expected to play a significant part in improving operational efficiency and management of the technical fleet.

Trakm8 will provide hardware and data services based on the very latest T10 and Light bar hardware and Trakm8's innovative risk and vehicle service data analysis tools. The vehicle hardware installation will take place during H1 of 2016.

John Watkins, Executive Chairman of Trakm8 commented: 

"We are delighted to have ScottishPower as a customer for Trakm8's commercial vehicle fleet telematics solutions. We have been providing telematics to major fleets for many years but this is the first major customer for our full function T10 product and Swift 6 driver profiling. This contract provides additional visibility for our expectations for the current financial year."
