Autosounds partner with TomTom Business Solutions through TTI


Autosounds have specialised in the fleet tracking industry for nearly 12 years now and in this period we have been a distributor for a number of tracking and telematics brands including Tracker, Road Angel, Mix Telematics, Box Telematix and Quartix.

By dealing with all of the above companies we have gained a very good understanding and independent view of which tracking solutions are best for our customers. We were approached by TTinterlink to become a reseller of the TomTom Business Solutions system which we believe is a system that the majority of our customers will be using for many years to come.

We were immediately interested with the Brand alone as it is arguably one of the most well known brands in the world with very few people that would never have heard of TomTom so coupled with this and the fact that the system itself is so easy to use yet complex at the same time lends itself to companies with 1 vehicle up to companies with thousands.

It can be used as a simple track and trace product and report speeds, locations, exception reports, scheduled reports or can derive in-depth information for driver behaviour.

Cost of insurance preventing young people finding jobs says Cobra




Cobra UK believes that unless motor insurance costs come down over the coming years younger drivers will avoid learning to drive, which will drastically reduce their ability to get their first job.
The Departments of Transport's National Travel Survey 2010 issued last year revealed the scope of the problem. It said only one in three (35%) of 17-21 year olds have full license, and out of the 65% who don't have a license , 34% said insurance costs were preventing them from learning to drive.
"With young male drivers being hit the hardest with premiums of £5,000 commonplace for their first car, something must give soon or a generation of youngsters between 17 and 21 will simply not be able to afford to drive even if they want to", explained Andrew Smith, managing director of Cobra UK. Cobra already provides the technology that powers the Co-Operatives's Young Driver Insurance, which along with similar schemes should give insurers the ability to drastically reduce the cost of insuring the car.

Autosounds are also involved as in installer for the young drivers insurance scheme with the AA and a few other major insurance companies, if you require further information please don't hesitate to contact us on 0191 2736100 or email info@autosounds.co.uk
