VANCOUVER, BC AND MT. LAUREL, NJ -- WebTech Wireless Inc., a provider of location-based and fleet Telematics services, recently announced its agreement with Automotive Resources International (ARI) to integrate its broad locator, vehicle diagnostics and Quadrant fleet management software application with the ARI Intellifleet System.

WebTech Wireless Locators, paired with a second-generation On-Board Diagnostics Gateway (OBDII) device, will provide ARI with a powerful, user-friendly solution for obtaining real-time vehicle location and diagnostic information. The WebTech Wireless Locators will interface directly with Intellifleet, ARI's server-based, fleet management system, providing a single-source solution for ARI customers. The system will utilize GSM network technology, and GSM/Satellite hybrid options are also available.

This end-to-end solution allows fleet managers to track and manage their mobile assets, with full mapping, messaging and dispatching abilities. All vehicle diagnostic information, including vehicle performance, malfunctions and early warnings can be accessed through Intellifleet.

The system also allows managers to proactively monitor if their fleet is operating within operational and environmental guidelines. In the field, the solution empowers service and claims technicians to cost-effectively manage the maintenance and repair of their vehicles from their desktops.

2008: One of the Worst Years in Fleet History

By Mike Antich
I can’t recall a year as tumultuous as 2008. The year started with the Jan. 1 termination of the $1.8 billion merger between GE and PHH and ended with the near bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler. In between, we witnessed record fuel prices, then a spectacular freefall in fuel prices, a dismal used-vehicle market, unprecedented credit gridlock, the inability of some fleets to order new-vehicles, and fleet delivery disruptions due to a UAW strike and an epic Midwest flood that submerged rail lines.
