5 Reasons Why Rental and Government Fleets Trust the T16 for Ultimate Vehicle Security

For rental and government fleet managers in South Africa, ensuring vehicle security is not just important—it’s essential. Fleet vehicles are valuable assets that face unique security challenges, from unauthorized usage to outright theft. In a country where vehicle security is a top priority, Trackwise’s T16 GPS Vehicle Tracker provides an advanced solution tailored to protect and manage high-value fleets.

Here, we explore five reasons why the T16 GPS Tracker has become the trusted choice for rental and government fleets across South Africa.

1. Real-Time Tracking: Always Know Where Your Vehicles Are

When managing rental or government fleets, knowing each vehicle's exact location is crucial. The T16 GPS Tracker provides real-time GPS and LBS positioning, allowing fleet managers to monitor vehicles’ movements at all times.

How It Benefits Your Fleet:

• Rapid Response: Should a vehicle be stolen or used without permission, real-time tracking enables fleet managers to react immediately, notifying authorities and increasing the chances of quick recovery.

• Operational Oversight: For government or rental companies, managing vehicles in real time also improves logistics, making it easy to allocate vehicles to different departments or clients while ensuring they stay within assigned areas.

Testimonial: “With Trackwise’s T16, we know exactly where each vehicle is at any given time. It’s transformed our operational efficiency and improved the way we monitor our assets.” – South African Government Fleet Manager

2. ACC Detection: Stay Informed of Unauthorized Use

For both government and rental fleets, unauthorized use of vehicles can be a costly problem. The T16 GPS Tracker’s ACC (Accessory Circuit) Detection alerts managers the moment a vehicle’s engine is turned on, providing immediate awareness of unauthorized starts.

How It Benefits Your Fleet:

• Improved Security: With ACC detection, you’re instantly informed of any suspicious activity, allowing fleet managers to intervene before the vehicle is taken off the premises.

• Efficient Fleet Usage: In the case of government fleets, where vehicles are assigned to specific departments or tasks, ACC detection ensures they’re used only when authorized, preventing misuse and protecting against unnecessary wear and tear.

Testimonial: “We’ve had instances where vehicles were used without authorisation, but with the T16’s ACC detection, we get instant alerts, and that’s given us a major boost in fleet control.” – Fleet Manager at South African Car Rental Company

3. Remote Power Cut-Off: Take Control of Unauthorized Movements

One of the T16’s most powerful features is its remote power cut-off capability, which enables managers to immobilize a vehicle in case of unauthorised access or theft. This feature is especially beneficial for rental and government fleets, where vehicles often operate across large areas and may not be easy to secure manually.

How It Benefits Your Fleet:

• Anti-Theft Control: The remote power cut-off is a game-changer for fleet security. If a vehicle is stolen, fleet managers can disable the engine remotely, stopping thieves in their tracks.

• Reduced Financial Losses: Preventing theft and unauthorized use of fleet vehicles not only improves security but also significantly reduces the risk of financial losses, making the T16 an invaluable investment for both government and rental companies.

Example: In a recent case involving a rental company, a customer attempted to use the vehicle beyond their rental terms and in unauthorized areas. With remote power cut-off, the company was able to safely immobilize the car and retrieve it, preventing further misuse and potential damage.

4. Vibration and Tamper Alerts: Know Immediately if Something’s Wrong

Rental and government fleet vehicles are high-value assets that can be tempting targets for theft or tampering. The T16 provides instant vibration and tamper alerts, notifying fleet managers if a vehicle is being interfered with or if sudden movement is detected.

How It Benefits Your Fleet:

• Increased Security Awareness: Vibration and tamper alerts mean that you’ll know immediately if someone attempts to move or tamper with your vehicle, even if it’s parked in a public or remote location.

• Quick Response: This feature allows fleet managers to act quickly in potential theft situations, coordinating with security or law enforcement as soon as an alert is triggered.

Testimonial: “We park our vehicles in many different locations, which makes them vulnerable. The T16’s tamper alerts give us peace of mind—we know if there’s any unusual activity and can act quickly.” – Manager, South African Government Fleet

5. Comprehensive Fleet Insights and Reporting: Optimize Costs and Operations

Managing a fleet goes beyond security. Efficiency and cost control are vital, especially for government or rental fleets, where every kilometer counts. The T16 provides a detailed fleet insights dashboard with key metrics, allowing managers to analyze vehicle usage, route efficiency, and driver behavior.

How It Benefits Your Fleet:

• Cost Savings: By monitoring driver behavior, fuel usage, and routes, fleet managers can identify areas for improvement, reducing fuel expenses and maintenance costs.

• Improved Driver Accountability: For government and rental fleets alike, detailed reporting ensures drivers adhere to safe and cost-effective driving practices, minimizing risk and maximizing asset longevity.

Example: A rental company recently optimised its routes based on the T16’s data insights, resulting in a 15% reduction in fuel costs over just a few months.
