Keeping watch
Welcome to the April May issue of Export and Freight magazine. As we say goodbye to winter and hello to the longer evenings, Spring is very definitely in the air and there is a feeling of positivity about the place. And we have plenty of great news stories and features to tell you about.
In this issue we have a special feature on telematics, an area which is becoming more and more important in the transport and logistics world every year.
Once upon a time the only form of telematics would have been using GPS to track the location of your fleet. But this has moved on massively and now telematics has numerous uses from helping to you to save fuel by monitoring how your vehicles are being driven to real time insights into vehicle performance and maintenance needs.
I also report from Barcelona where I got to meet the newest members of the electric Ford Transit family, and found out how telematics is factory fitted to all their latest vehicles to give business owners even more tools to help them run their fleets more efficiently.
This busy issue also has the third and final part of the Manfreight Story, which this time focuses on their ESG strategy and how they are using the latest innovations and technology to drive their business towards a more sustainable future.
We also have our regular industry specific columns from the RHA and Logistics UK and a new column from the TRU (Transport Regulation Unit) as well as all the latest news from across the industry.
We hope you enjoy reading this issue, and if you have a story you’d like us to cover in Export and Freight please get in touch.
