Outperforming stiff competition, vehicle-tracking supplier Quartix has become a finalist in the 2012 Sustainability Leaders Awards.<\/p>\n

Amongst other achievements, the work it has undertaken with Worcester City Council particularly impressed the judges. Quartix\u2019s vehicle tracking system has helped the council dramatically reduce their fuel consumption and improve productivity for their fleet of refuse trucks, road sweepers and parks vehicles.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the system\u2019s market-leading Driving-Style Monitoring suite, Worcester City Council is able to monitor harsh acceleration, braking and speeding on daily and weekly bases and work with their drivers to improve their performance on the road. The comprehensive reporting and live tracking also help the council make savings across the board and cut costly and environmentally damaging practices such as idling.<\/p>\n

The other finalists in the Sustainable Transport category are LOCOG, Network Rail, Howard Tenens and Alstom, with the winner being announced on 5th December at The Grange St Paul\u2019s in London.
