MASTERNAUT BRINGS NEXT GENERATION TELEMATICS TO THE CV SHOW
Stand 4J120
Masternaut, the largest European provider of telematics solutions, will demonstrate its next generation telematics platform, Masternaut Connect, at the CV Show. Experts will be on hand at Masternaut’s demo pods to show how the platform works and the benefits it can provide.
Martin Hiscox, Chairman and CEO of Masternaut said, “The landscape has changed considerably since we introduced our first generation telematics solutions. The growth of floating car data, advances in driver performance management, vehicle scheduling and data aggregation means there is more intelligence available to acquire and more opportunity to harness it.”
It has taken 18 months’ development and more than 16 years’ experience to bring Masternaut Connect to market. In a first for a business-to-business telematics vendor, the platform offers the robustness and scalability to handle big data demands.
Also on show will be TACHOfresh – a web-based solution for secure archiving of both driver and vehicle data. This is evaluated according to regulation EC561/2006 and is immediately available as social reports. Logistics companies using the system will have instant access to tachograph-generated data from across Europe, detailing driver and vehicle information including speed, driving and resting times and historical details including mileage (in line with EU regulation).

EXEROS TECHNOLOGIES LAUNCHES WORLD BEATING RISK REDUCTION APPARATUS
Stand 4E11
Exeros Technologies, a market leader in using camera systems to make vehicles increasingly safe, will use its first CV Show to debut three pieces of technology.
An exclusive windscreen-mounted live risk analysis unit captures video from in front and behind its position and, importantly, is in constant communication with its online cloud storage facility. The Track Eye Nano works with the IDER driver to upload events, scoring individual drivers on their risk level, enabling fleets to save significantly on accident claims and insurance.
The P2PPro compact car camera features ground-breaking Proactive Driving Improvement (PDI) functionality. This describes the way in which camera technology can proactively help fleets to lower driving risk by reading new road signs, logging GPS, warning of GATSOs, tailgating, lane departure and more. It measures 9cm x 5cm and costs less than a sat-nav.
Exeros Technologies will also present the world’s first HD mobile hard-drive recording. Storing video in 720p resolution, the Track Eye IP will capture journeys in a much higher quality than previously found on similar products.

SMARTWITNESS LAUNCHES THE KP1 VEHICLE JOURNEY RECORDER
Stand 4J100
SmartWitness, manufacturer of world-class vehicle CCTV systems, will showcase its brand-new KP1 vehicle journey recorder, along with its best-selling SVC100GPS model, at the CV Show. SmartWitness cameras typically save fleet customers a substantial 20% on insurance bills and can improve safety records by as much as 50%.
The KP1 has been hailed as the most powerful and advanced vehicle CCTV in the world and comes to the market after three years of dedicated research and development. The two-camera system provides instant notification of incidents, with video footage of what actually happened e-mailed direct to the user’s private or company address less than 60 seconds after a collision, enabling insurance claims to be filed in record time. Insurers have found that just 2% of incidents recorded on SmartWitness cameras result in disputed claims – compared with an industry norm of 40%. The KP1 can be integrated into any telematics unit and provides daily driver reports, either by secure e-mail or SMS.

DRIVER FIRST ASSIST FOUNDER TALKS ROAD SAFETY AT CV SHOW 2014
Stand 5H143
Driver First Assist, a not-for-profit road safety initiative which seeks to reduce road fatalities through incident first-on-scene training, will exhibit at the CV Show. The initiative’s founder, David Higginbottom, will explain the programme’s potential to reduce road traffic fatalities by almost half, as well as how to become a fully qualified DFA member.
Current statistics show that 39%-85% of road traffic deaths are caused by an airway obstruction that can kill within four minutes – half the ambulance target response time. So it’s not surprising that over half of fatalities occur before the arrival of the emergency services. It’s down to qualified DFA members, trained to manage the scene of a road traffic collision and administer basic first aid, to increase the chance of survival for those involved before help arrives.
David, a former HGV driver himself, founded DFA because he believes that a network of professionally trained commercial drivers are most likely to be first on scene at a road traffic collision – and have the potential to save hundreds of lives.
The DFA course, which has the support of all three emergency services, now counts as seven hours towards the driver CPC training.

IAAF BRINGS AFTERMARKET FOCUS TO CV SHOW
4E41
The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation is planning to focus the minds of hauliers and fleet operators on the benefits of using the aftermarket. If visitors to its stand in the Workshop area can make the distinction between independent aftermarket brands and OE parts, a bottle of champagne will be available to the winner.
The IAAF’s presence at the CV Show is aimed at helping vehicle operators and hauliers understand more clearly the complexities of parts supply and the impact on their fleet running costs. The independent aftermarket can provide all that a vehicle operator requires, from the supply of OE-quality parts locally to the provision of technical support and diagnostic information.
IAAF Chief Executive, Brian Spratt, said, “The IAAF won’t be pulling any punches at the CV Show. We intend to demonstrate fully the benefits of the independent automotive aftermarket, highlighting the Federation’s commitment to servicing a member’s business needs.” The IAAF CV committee is also showing its commitment to the CV aftermarket by volunteering time on the IAAF stand to meet visitors.

MAN IN CV SHOW TRUCK GIVE-AWAY – SIX EURO-6 MAN TRUCKS FOR SIX MONTHS
Stand 4G30
Operators are being invited to win a ‘Truckload of Überefficiency’ at this year’s CV Show, courtesy of MAN Truck & Bus UK, as the company encourages operators to calculate their Total Cost of Operation (TCO). MAN continues to champion TCO with its range of customer support offerings which will form a central theme at the Show.
After entering online at www.man-tco.co.uk, or in person on MAN’s stand, six lucky operators will be selected at random and announced on the last day of the Show, winning the truck of their choice for a full six months.
The truck, either a TGS or TGX tractor, a TGM at 18t or 26t or a TGL at 7.5t or 12t, will come with six-months’ repair and maintenance cover, road tax, tyres, MAN Fleet Management and driver training – a package worth up to £10,000.
MAN’s dedicated TCO website provides operators with an accurate cost calculator for their individual transport operations, taking into account a wide range of critical parameters. A handy fuel calculator also provides an instant cost analysis on annual diesel consumption, including AdBlue usage. “This can help truck operators get a firm fix on operating costs,” said MAN’s CEO in the UK, Des Evans. “It also provides the ability to calculate to a high degree of accuracy their annual expenditure.”

TRACKITNOW – MANAGING THE SPEED MERCHANTS
Stand 4D83
Trackitnow believes speeding is a problem that should be addressed by all businesses. It does a company’s brand no favours when one of its vehicles is seen looming in the rear view mirror of another road user. In addition, vehicles typically burn 25% more fuel at 80mph compared to 60mph.
Trackitnow has introduced a handy new tool into its award-winning software that can help educate staff to understand that, aside from the obvious legal issues, there is no need to speed. Users are able to enter a target maximum speed for each vehicle. Trackitnow’s report then compares the actual arrival time with the time the vehicle would have arrived, had it complied with the chosen maximum speed.
“The results from these new Target Speed Journey reports really are enlightening,” said Trackitnow MD Chris Simms. “Drivers and their management quickly see that even relatively lengthy journeys really do only take a few minutes more by sticking to a maximum of, say, 70mph. For example, a journey from the Sussex coast to Northamptonshire at speeds of up to 85mph came in at just seven minutes longer if a maximum speed of just 70mph is used. The fuel savings alone more than outweigh any saving of time.”

TRUCK & TRAILER COMPONENTS SHOWCASES CV CAT/DPF ANTI-THEFT
Stand 4E26
Advances in technology that reduce harmful emissions bring huge benefits for the environment, but every action creates a reaction. To achieve low emission levels, the technology and precious metals contained within commercial vehicle exhaust catalyst units continue to make them extremely expensive and valuable. This has not passed unnoticed with the criminal fraternity that has been targeting commercial vehicles and stealing the catalytic converter.
A BBC report published in late 2013 identified that almost 25,000 thefts were reported to the police across the UK between 2010 and the first half of 2013. With some of the more advanced CV catalyst systems costing upwards of £20k it makes for a very expensive repair, especially when downtime and disruption caused to day-to-day business operations are added.
TruckMinder is an innovative anti-theft system that can deter thefts and warn vehicle operators that vehicles are being tampered with. TTC will show the TruckMinder anti-theft systems on its stand at the CV Show.
The system deploys an innovative and sophisticated sensor alarm system that detects attempts to remove the catalytic converter. This detection is linked to both an audible alarm system and a text-to-mobile facility.

Its entire product range will be displayed at the CV Show.

Gary Forster, Chief Executive of Transaid, said, “Transaid offers a practical and relevant way for the transport industry to help fight against poverty in developing countries. Without the support of our Corporate Partners we wouldn’t be able to continue running the projects that make such a difference to the lives of so many people. We’re grateful to all our supporters but it would be fantastic if we could receive even more support. We’d really urge anyone who’s interested in getting involved with Transaid to visit our stand in Hall 3 at the CV Show and find out more about what we do.”
