The V3 CarCube System as well as other features like document scanners will make the processing of orders more efficient in the future. They enable more flexible transport planning and an improved CO2 emissions balance sheet.
LEHNKERING has been working with Trimble in the field of telematics since 2010. The chemical logistics company’s tractor units have now received the new V3 CarCube system as part of a trade-in programme. A document scanner has also been installed in each vehicle. This ensures that all the documents relevant to the order are available for the administration department once the transport service has been completed.
So-called remote downloads using V3 CarCube provide an additional benefit: Regardless of the vehicle’s location, the data from the digital tachograph and the driver card are read out via a radio link.
“This investment is another step along the route of optimising our fleet management and enables us to plan the use of our vehicles in a more flexible manner,” said Bernd Matthes, Fleet Manager at LEHNKERING Chemical Transport GmbH in Duisburg. “As a result, we can also reduce the number of empty mileage – and our CO2 emissions. The Trimble CarCube telematics system conveys the LEHNKERING corporate philosophy of providing high-quality transport services that are safe, environmentally-friendly and resource-conserving.”
Like the previous V2 model, the new CarCube generation can be integrated within LEHNKERING’s internally developed CargoWare ERP system.
