 | TRACKER Scoops Security Award |  |
- TRACKER has won the Security Award in the 2009 Van Fleet World Honours. The trophy was presented at a special ceremony held at the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall on Wednesday 20th May.
- The Fleet World Honours are presented annually to those motor manufacturers, service companies and individuals who have, in the opinion of the judges, achieved the highest possible level of excellence in their sector. The judging panel is chaired by industry professional, George Emmerson, who has managed fleets at IBM, NHBC and Black Horse Agencies. Members of the judging panel include Ken Rogers, John Kendall, and Ross Durkin from Fleet World’s editorial team, and fleet manager Jackie Pomfrett. Residual value, maintenance cost and reliability data is also provided by ALD Automotive, Masterlease and ING Car Lease. Market value data is provided by EurotaxGlass, CAP Motor Research and Vehicle Information Publishing.
- Commenting on the award, Chairman of Judges George Emmerson said: ‘The TRACKER name stands head and shoulders above its industry rivals and by providing a consistently high quality service to its many clients, TRACKER has established an enviable reputation in the fleet industry. The only SVR system operated by all 52 UK police forces, TRACKER is regularly praised by police, public and van fleet operators alike.’
- Van Fleet World editor John Kendall commented: ‘TRACKER uses a VHF transmitted hidden in the vehicle, which has a number of advantages over GPS-based systems, which can be jammed by car thieves using relatively cheap devices. Besides the regular stories about specific vehicle recoveries supplied to the press by TRACKER, the fact that TRACKER has contributed to the recovery of assets totalling more than £400 million and led to more than 1,800 arrests is a testament to the effectiveness of the system. These statistics speak volumes and give fleet managers confidence that TRACKER will protect their vans at all times.’
- Commenting on the high level of interest in this year’s awards, Fleet World managing editor, Ross Durkin, said: ‘Despite the difficult economic conditions, we had a tremendous number of entries in this year’s Fleet World Honours – a sign not only of the significance of the awards themselves, but also of the tremendous level of service, innovation and competition that exist within the fleet industry today. Those who have won can be justifiably proud of their achievement.’
