MiX Telematics to showcase performance-driven fleet solutions at the IAA Commercial Vehicles Trade Fair in Hanover

Hanover ( Sharewellnewswire.com ) September 19, 2012  – For the third time running, MiX Telematics is participating in the renowned IAA Commercial Vehicles Trade Fair, being held in Hannover, Germany, from 20-27 September 2012. The global provider of driver safety, vehicle tracking and fleet management solutions will use the opportunity to launch new products and share key proven benefits of its solutions, along with the latest industry knowledge on the topic of fuel efficiency. MiX Telematics is exhibiting in hall 25, at stand 48.

“Our ultimate aim is to deliver solutions that help our customers drive their operation forward,” says Charles Tasker, Head of Fleet Telematics at MiX Telematics. “In addition to saving an average of 10% on fuel costs, our customers report significant improvements in driver safety, vehicle utilisation and customer service.”

A new product that will help fleet operators to run their fleets more efficiently is MiX Rovi. This intuitive, in-cab display is set to help operators optimise communication between drivers and the office. The seven-inch colour touch screen also serves to provide drivers with immediate feedback on their driving style, using real-time alerts to notify them when they over-rev, over-speed, idle excessively, or brake or accelerate harshly.

 

“Another key development for truck fleets is the imminent global availability of our new Trailer Tracking solution,” says Tasker, adding, “Fleet operators no longer need to rely on their truck tractors for information on their trailers – now they can manage and track their high-value or high-risk loads independently.”

Impressive results have also revealed MiX Telematics as a leading fleet management provider for the bus and coach industry in Europe. “To date, more than 10,000 buses in Spain, Germany, France, Belgium and Great Britain have been equipped with a MiX Telematics system,” says Tasker. Sylter Verkehrsgesellschaft (SVG) from Germany and Translink from Northern Ireland join a growing customer list that includes De Lijn, Vectalia-Subus and Go-Ahead London.

 

“A long-term trial with SVG revealed a net saving of 2,200 Euros per year per vehicle,” says Tasker, “while another customer of ours, RATP London United, achieved a 17% reduction in their accident rate, and a 10% improvement in fuel efficiency following the implementation of a customised risk reduction programme.”

MiX Telematics’ leading market position was recently confirmed by a new competitive assessment released by ABI Research: “In a market where surety of supply cannot always be guaranteed, it is good to know there’s at least one company that is financially strong. MiX Telematics stands out for its ability to provide solutions across multiple market segments including construction, public transport, emergency services and oil and gas. Furthermore, the company was one of the few assessed with a truly multinational reach, which is reflected by its presence in 112 countries across the globe,” says ABI Research.

 

Visit MiX Telematics in Hall 25, Stand E48, from 20-27 September 2012. In conjunction with launching new solutions, MiX Telematics will be sharing the latest industry knowledge on the topic of fuel efficiency. Presentations will take place on the hour between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from 20-27 September (with exception of the weekend).

The Organica Music Group Recording Artist Margo Rey Releases Her Fresh CD “Habit” And Prepares For Her Upcoming National Holiday Tour With Dave Koz

Beverly Hills, CA ( SharewellNewswire.com) September 15, 2012 -  Organica Music Group is pleased to announce the release of Margo Rey’s highly anticipated CD, Habit. The album features Margo’s new Top 20 charting single “Between Us,” as well as her recent hit song “Let the Rain.” The latter, co-written by Ms. Rey and the legendary John Oates, remained on the charts for an astonishing 21 weeks, making it Billboard’s “Hot Shot Debut” and additionally earning her kudos in the magazine’s “Bubbling Under” column. The duo also teamed up on the stunning cut “Saturn Returns.” Oates sings on both tracks and he provides an ideal complement to Rey’s powerful yet nuanced vocals. Listeners closest to it claim that Habit is its own brand of sonic luxury and Rey emerges as a force of nature — in heels no less.

In addition, Margo is preparing for her upcoming national holiday tour with Dave Koz, which is certain to please her diverse and loyal fan base. Based on her track record, Rey’s following is understandable. In less than a two-year span she has delivered five hits in diverse genres that include Adult Contemporary as well as Dance and Pop. She also charted two #1 Dance hits and if that’s not enough, Rey also generated an original Christmas hit.

The holiday tour kicks off on November 23rd with all dates found below.  The Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour will be a high-energy tour featuring not only Margo Rey, but David Benoit, Javier Colon and Shelia E.  Koz comments, “It never ceases to blow me away, how much people love holiday songs—as evidenced by our 15th anniversary of this tour!  This year especially, we’ll try to fit in as many favorites as possible and add our own unique touches along the way.”

Reflecting on the direction of Habit Margo explains:  “I wanted something ‘lo-fi’ as opposed to the cloned sounds of today’s pop culture environment. I needed my music to sound like me rather than the equipment it was recorded on. Plus, I feel a huge affinity — love affair even — for the singer/songwriter era of the seventies and eighties.” Ms. Rey employed a technique as simple as it is novel in today’s recording environment. She gathered extraordinary musicians in a room and they recorded (equally extraordinary) music together. If that doesn’t sound radical, it should — and Habit underscores the point. It’s a CD that never leaves the human vibe behind. It revels in it and, if anything, deepens it.

Margo has produced a collection of songs that reverberates with a gamut of emotions. Greed, love, lust, doubt, remorse, obsession and crazed vulnerability are all present — in abundance. “I hope listeners respond to the penetrating pulse in each of these songs. They’re an exploration of my contradictory feelings over the past two years.

Roll all of those emotional tangents into a set list and you have, well, something that I hope will become a “Habit.”

The album unleashes thirteen songs, all of which are original. One exception is a gorgeous cover of The Zombie’s hit, “She’s Not There.” If you think you’ve heard the song before, think again. This version has more down-under burn than most people can handle. But it gets better. Ms. Rey will be on tour. So hang on. Or, better yet, let yourself go. www.MargoRey.com

Habit was recorded and mixed at Rusk LA by Elton Ahi, mastered by Yossi Shaked, produced and arranged by Margo Rey in collaboration with Elton Ahi and Chris Wabich.

Organica Music Group is a boutique media company with four divisions that include:  music; stand-up comedy; publishing; television and film. OMG’s distributor is Universal Music Group. Michael Blakey serves as President and has worked with top artists around the world, receiving over 60 gold and platinum albums and 5 Grammy nominations.
