“Telematics solutions will dramatically change the global transportation of hazardous goods. Resolute action, speed and the active inclusion of all employees in the process are factors that will determine its success.”

– Hoyer –

HOYER is a global market leader for transports of liquid goods by road, rail and sea and has been a client of IMT since IMT started its business. Why does a worldwide operating company attach so much value to the integration of telematics?

‘HOYER is equipping its entire tank container fleet with telematics for three important reasons: better use of capacity, significant improvement of the quality of the transport chain (punctuality) and considerably enhanced safety of hazardous goods transportation. Our smart fleet has led to a massive improvement of tank container movements throughout the world, giving us interesting insights into the use of different tank types, bottlenecks in the global supply chains and the movement of different cargo types. Thanks to loading information such as temperature, pressure or filling level, the monitoring and safety of hazardous goods transportation have reached an unprecedented level.

We started working with IMT because we believe that the most important requirements for a telematics system are robustness of the devices (they have to be able to withstand harsh everyday transportation conditions over many years), – longevity combined with low servicing costs and reliability combined with the lowest possible failure rates. And, last but not least, the availability of user-friendly, standardized interfaces. IMT is able to meet all these requirements.

With our smart logistic concepts, we are able to continuously develop and offer improved products that relieve our employees and customers, so that they can focus on vital tasks. These telematics solutions will dramatically change the global transportation of hazardous goods in the future. In our experience, resolute action, speed and the active inclusion of all employees in the process are factors that will determine its success.’
