Concord, MA, November 17, 2011 – TomTom
Business Solutions, the division dedicated to commercial fleets, today unveiled
the TomTom PRO 7150 TRUCK. Designed to provide truck drivers and fleet managers
with automated routing that takes into account vehicle profiles and road
attributes and restrictions, the PRO 7150 saves time and money by ensuring that
each trip is optimized and takes advantage of TomTom’s extensive map and
traffic data.
With the PRO 7150 TRUCK, drivers will enjoy a
navigation experience that automatically favors main roads over secondary
roads, avoids sharp turns and U-turns, and includes a comprehensive collection
of truck attributes such as weight and dimension limitations to avoid
low-bridge clearances, and load characteristics such as HAZMAT restrictions.
Safety-focused features include: road restriction and dead-end warnings that
automatically pop up when drivers are about to encounter danger; advanced lane
guidance to easily maneuver difficult intersections; hands-free dialing; a
clear 5-inch capacitive touch-screen to keep drivers relaxed and to minimize
in-cab distraction.
TomTom has partnered with
ProMiles, an industry leader in transportation solutions, to deliver the most
comprehensive map attributes for commercial vehicles in the North American
market today.
“ProMiles’
industry-leading commercial transportation data enhances the TomTom PRO 7150
TRUCK resulting in 17 times more last-mile commercial vehicle coverage,”
says Michael Geffroy, Vice President of Sales, North America for TomTom
Business Solutions. “Due to the
complexities of commercial vehicle regulations and road restrictions, it is
critical to collaborate with a partner that has a long standing expertise on
trucking”
The PRO 7150 TRUCK includes nationwide map coverage of
national and state/provincial highways in the U.S. and Canada, including
last-mile restriction coverage in most major truck-relevant municipalities. The
POI database contains more than seven million Points of Interest.
