Citroen LCVs available with Trafficmaster Smartnav
In a move that puts the brand even further ahead of the competition, all Citroen LCVs are now available with the unique Trafficmaster Smartnav and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking package. This important Citroen LCV enhancement follows an earlier initiative to fit - as standard - all Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay panel vans with this efficiency, safety and security boosting navigation and stolen vehicle tracking technology.
Now, with this new offer, Nemo van, Berlingo First van and all other Combi and chassis variants can optionally benefit from the advantages of this advanced telematics package at the heavily subsidised price of just £399 + VAT (including three years’ subscription) - a substantial saving compared to the normal retail price of the package, which is in excess of £1,200 + VAT.
Charles Peugeot, Head of Commercial Vehicles and Business Sector, comments; “Citroen has long recognised that advanced telematics plays a key role in improving vehicle and driver productivity as well as delivering financial, safety and environmental gains. As such, Citroen fits Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation as standard to more LCVs than any other manufacturer. The introduction of this heavily subsidised £399 + VAT option now brings the availability of these benefits to the remainder of our LCV range.”
With the unique Citroen Trafficmaster Smartnav and Trackstar package now available as standard, or as an attractively priced option, on all models, Citroen LCV customers also have the option of specifying Fleet Director at the recently introduced, subsidised rate of just £19.99 + VAT per month.
Fleet Director, a real-time fleet management programme, utilises the Smartnav telematics platform to provide a key resource for fleet managers to better meet ‘Duty of Care’ responsibilities, to further improve vehicle and driver productivity, and to reduce costs. In addition, Fleet Director enables head offices to have improved communications with, and exact location details for, all drivers - and to send routes or jobs directly to vehicles. Trafficmaster’s Fleet Director option offers a full range of services to ease the workload of transport managers, including a Map Control Centre with live vehicle reporting, two-way messaging, as well as vehicle and driver management reports. It allows both vehicles and drivers to be benchmarked and compared to others in the business.
In addition, Fleet Director provides exception reports and alerts - including warnings of unscheduled stops or deviations from normal routes. It can also ‘geo-fence’ vehicles, identifying, for instance, if a particular van strays outside a specific area or if employees make unauthorised or excessive use of vehicles during evening or weekends.
