Vision Techniques helps Hartlepool fleet stay safe
Vision Techniques has been commissioned by Hartlepool Council to improve the safety and security of its 52-strong fleet of HGVs and passenger transport vehicles.
The technology provider will install its Brakesafe product – which helps prevent vehicle rollaways via a handbrake failsafe system – and IdentPlus, which protects against theft or injury caused by untrained and unauthorised drivers – on the council’s fleet.
“We’ve worked in partnership with Vision Techniques for over ten years and have relied on their innovations to help us enhance fleet safety,” said Liam Wilkinson, Hartlepool Council’s fleet officer.
“Unfortunately, we’ve seen instances of rollaways in other parts of the country, and as a local authority, we need to eliminate risk wherever possible. Our absolute priority is to ensure we are creating a safe environment for our people to work in and that our vehicles are the safest they can be for the public, and these products help us do that.”
Marshall Fleming, Vision Techniques’ regional sales manager, added: ” Our company’s purpose has always been to save lives. We’ve invested in developing new technologies that help make our clients’ fleets safer.
“We have a long and productive working relationship with Hartlepool Council, and they value our expertise and advice. It’s a privilege to help them create safer working environments for their employees and residents.”
