Mapon Expert – an advanced telemetry device for effective fleet management

When Mapon started out, it was common for fleet management service providers to develop their own hardware, as very few mass market tracking devices were available at the time. While years have passed and telemetry hardware is now widely available, Mapon is still developing its own hardware units in parallel to using mass market products.  In-house made hardware allows us to build on our original design by simply upgrading the firmware (and software) as we go. To give you an idea of the latest changes in our firmware development, take a look at what the latest upgrade has brought to our Mapon Expert GPS tracking device.

Empty cargos and climate goals – Europe in contradictions

Just a while ago the Vice-President of European Parliament Roberts Zīle started a conversation on Twitter stating that after a year of debate the Mobility Package provisions contradicting Europe’s climate goals still haven’t been resolved. Meanwhile, the results of a study conducted by independent experts from the European Commission (EC) estimate that an additional 2.9 million tonnes of CO2 emissions will be generated in 2023 as a result of complying with these rules. What’s even more interesting – there is still no answer as to why this situation arose and how to resolve it.

RIX Ltd.: the route planning solution relieves the work of dispatchers and drivers

Freight transport by road has been the most commonly used way of transporting goods in Europe for years. The latest Eurostat data shows that road transport accounts for 76.5% of total inland freight transport. As demand increases and road infrastructure and the intensity of its use changes, fleet management solutions play an increasingly important role in the organisation of the supply chain, helping to plan the vehicle routes (especially trucks), and ensuring their efficiency. The usefulness of route planning solutions is also recognised by the international freight carrier RIX Ltd. (hereafter – RIX), which has managed to facilitate daily work for both fleet dispatchers and drivers with the help of this technology.
