New Partnership Between Telematics Update and The European Road Transport Show Reflects how Telematics and IT are Becoming Critical to Europe's Transportation Industry
This year, Telematics Update's Truck & Trailer Telematics conference, which takes place on October 30-31 in Amsterdam, will be co-located with the European Road Transport Show (TERTS).
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) August 27, 2007 -- This year, Telematics Update's Truck & Trailer Telematics conference, which takes place on October 30-31 in Amsterdam, will be co-located with the European Road Transport Show (TERTS).
Telematics Update's series of commercial vehicle conferences have been leading the way in relevant cutting-edge business intelligence for fleet management solutions providers since 2002. The fact that this high-level business conference is now joining forces with Europe's biggest transport show clearly demonstrates how telematics and IT are becoming critical to the industry.
To date, fleet management technology beyond simple track and trace has only been met with enthusiasm by early adopters. However, due to increasing fuel efficiency pressures and more demanding end-user requirements, advanced fleet management technology is poised for take off into the mainstream.
The time is right for advanced fleet management solutions to step up to the next level, and everything is coming together from a technological standpoint.
Mobile networks coverage is improving constantly and the once super high cost of data transfer is falling. At the same time, Internet applications have been refined, and, while these are fast becoming very powerful management tools, they're still simple and user-friendly.
There's more - new map attributes, advanced safety technologies, the promise of increased positioning accuracy through the Galileo system, and an increasing shift towards technology integration across the vehicle, back-office and entire logistics chain.
It all adds up to a truly appealing package for fleet managers, with the promise of many service benefits and cost reductions. However there are some key challenges that solution providers need to overcome and the conference sessions at Truck & Trailer Telematics 2007 tackle these issues head on.
Because of this expected boom in advanced IT and telematics services, the Truck & Trailer Telematics conference is taking place inside The European Road Transport Show this year. Attendees will be able to get their annual "fix" of key telematics business intelligence within the heart of the industry's biggest trade show.
The telematics conference will address key industry topics, including:
- Crossing borders - Pan-European solutions and the role of mobile operators in transport tracking
- Enabling software integration and data exchange across the supply chain
- Using environmental selling points for telematics - better than biofuels?
- And much more!
In addition to the telematics conference, smart solutions, particularly in IT, will receive a great deal of attention on the exhibition floor of TERTS 2007 at the special Telematics Pavilion that will underline the fast-growing influence of information technology in road transportation.
This Pavilion will include everything from simple navigation systems (for trucks and other vehicles) to complex tracking & tracing, route planning and hour registration systems, as well as ultra-modern road pricing systems and more.
The telematics industry is on the verge of transforming logistics into a truly 21st century digital-age business, and the combination of these two market leading events is an opportunity that anyone involved in fleet management cannot afford to miss.
