Airmax Remote is a new concept in vehicle telematics. It uniquely interrogates each of the vehicle’s ECUs and adds GPS data. There are several groups that are interested in this type of data. Covertly fitted, the module enables users to accurately log mileage and location based trips and calculates costs associated with private and business use.
Data capture from the vehicle's engine management cluster gives unprecedented access to vehicle faults (DTC’S) as well as fuel usage and CO2 emissions. In the world of climate change and increased CO2 pollution the system enables the discerning polluter to calculate their actual emissions and offset them with a chosen project.
For any business, maintaining a tight cost control over your company car fleet, is possibly one of the biggest issues, made even more difficult with added expenses that aren't budgeted for. Health and safety issues, too, are becoming equally important. For many other businesses, the focus is on ensuring their internal customers receive improved added value service.
ProFleet2 is a revolutionary new vehicle servicing facility, only available through ALD Automotive®, allowing companies and drivers to benefit from a whole host of features. The service is facilitated by the ProFleet2 telematics unit fitted into all ALD funded vehicles delivered from Spring 2004.
Pay How You Drive ( PHYD ) is a radical new approach to the way that insurance premiums are calculated for drivers who, for a number of reasons, can find themselves in the higher premium category.
It differs substantially from existing mileage/time based schemes by taking into account the actual way that the vehicle is being driven. In almost every aspect it is the fairest method yet devised for calculating motor insurance premiums as it allows you to modify your driving style and as a consequence reduce the accident risk level out on the road.
Being Telematics based the scheme is essentially ‘rules based’ which means that your driving is monitored in real time to ensure that you adhere to the information against which your premium is calculated. If all this sounds a bit ‘big brother’ – it isn’t, it’s simply a mechanism to ensure your commitment to safer driving is being adhered to.
The scheme holds enormous advantages for those drivers willing to drive safely.

By re-programming the ECUs, through a process called “fuel optimisation” we can provide a better optimisation of the engine for typical UK driving conditions and styles. Historically ECUs were ‘chipped’ or re-mapped for power or performance but these days this includes specific profiles for fuel economy and resultant lowering of CO2.
Having your cars ECU optimised changes all the parameters that are set for compromise to optimise. Better fuel consumption, more power, lower CO2 levels at specific, optimum and usual driving conditions, reduces and eliminates flat spots giving you a smoother power curve for a better driving experience all of this can be achieved without reaching any of the safe tolerance put on the engine and therefore not affecting it’s life.
Is a new product from MORE TH>N, which allows you to view and monitor reports on your driving style and compare it with other drivers - to see how green your driving really is.

Airmax has introduced mycarcam, a low cost digital camera system that is proving itself invaluable within fleet management, driver safety and insurance claim scenarios.
mycarcam automatically captures digital movie of vehicle events and is triggered automatically whenever a threshold above a certain ‘G Force’ or impact rate, occurs. It also incorporates a facility allowing the driver to manually capture images wherever they feel is appropriate.
