1985 Trimble is partnering with Equity Red Star, a major UK insurer, to provide in-vehicle 1681 Telematics Technology and GeoManager driver safety solution. It will form part of Equity Red Star’s new risk and vehicle management solution, Equitrack, for the commercial motor and motor fleet sectors.

Equitrack is a tailored solution that combines fleet management and driver behaviour reporting to help businesses identify any issues with the vehicle or the driver. In addition to helping companies reduce road risk, Equitrack is designed to deliver significant productivity improvements through better visibility and fleet management capabilities across a variety of industries including motor fleet, bus and coach, taxi, minibus and commercial vehicles.

"More and more insurance companies are realising the benefits of being able to offer commercial customers access to technology that can help keep drivers safe and reduce risk,” said Andrew Yeoman, managing director of Trimble Fleet Solutions. “By using Trimble’s telematics solutions, Equity Red Star can help organisations understand how their drivers behave on the road. This information can then be translated into helping fleet managers and service directors run safer, more efficient fleets which in turn can translate to operational and insurance savings.”
