MiX Telematics' vision for the future

2017-01-24 MiX Telematics has set out its vision for the coming three to five years, based on its conviction that fully-supported open and expandable telematics platforms are set to become the industry-norm for transport operators. While demand has initially been driven by the heavy commercial vehicle sector, including both truck and bus/coach operators, MiX Telematics is now also witnessing more and more light commercial vehicle and car operators turning to telematics in order to drive up the efficiency, performance and safety of their fleets. "With a presence in more than 120 countries, MiX Telematics has a unique insight into global transport operator trends, needs and demands," says Marc Trollet, Managing Director of MiX Telematics Europe and North Africa. "A shift to open in-vehicle platforms is undoubtedly coming as it allows fleets to scale the technology to meet their needs. This is becoming increasingly important to operators as solution providers such as ourselves and our partners continue to develop more and more innovative ways in which on-board technology can be used to their advantage.
