MiX Telematics says Linde, a global industrial, process and specialty gases company with headquarters in the United Kingdom, is improving safety across multiple countries with the help of its fleet and mobile asset management solutions.
“Since Linde is a company that places great emphasis on safety, process optimization as well as innovation, we wanted each of our fleets within the Region Middle East and Europe East (RME) to be equipped with a standardized combination of telematics solutions,” said Holger Peschke, senior manager of logistics for RME.
“Our main goals were to increase fleet safety by monitoring and managing driver behavior, as well as having the ability to track vehicle locations in real-time. Besides that, we also wanted to enhance their scheduling system with actual data.”
Since implementation of MiX Telematics’ solutions, there has been a significant reduction in harsh acceleration, harsh braking and speeding incidents, Linde said.
In Romania, speeding was decreased by 97%. Within the Turkish and Greek fleets, speeding also was decreased alongside harsh acceleration and harsh braking. Overall, this has led to fewer crashes and an improvement in driver safety. For all RME countries, Linde’s number of kilometers driven safely has increased fivefold in the last two years.
“These fantastic results are testament to the shared spirit of partnership and outstanding commitment to progressive fleet safety improvements through best practice use of our innovative telematics solution,” said Jonathan Bates, marketing director for MiX Telematics Europe. “Linde can truly be proud of these achievements and we will continue to strive together for further progress.”
