Trakm8 zooms ahead

An expanded deal with the AA should deepen Trakm8's foothold in the fleet management industry
December 18, 2015

Shares in telematics group Trakm8 (TRAK) climbed 4 per cent after it extended its agreement with the AA beyond it own roadside assistance and recovery vehicles. The pair have developed a fleet management system that can track vehicles' fuel consumption, driver behavior and routes taken. The AA will sell the solution to fleet operators to reduce their costs and logistical challenges.
