Fed up of your drivers being stopped in their tracks

by low bridges? Six bridge strikes happen each day in the UK, and even those drivers who avoid them lose valuable time and are forced into difficult manoeuvres getting their truck back on to a suitable road. Or are you annoyed at how often your drivers are inconvenienced by a narrow road?
These hassles can be avoided with one simple product from VDO Dayton, a brand of the Continental Corporation the PN4000TSN. It is a truck navigation unit that warns the driver of low bridges and other HGV restrictions.
The PN4000TSN is worth £349,99, but Commercial Motor is offering one reader a free unit if they win our competition.
Make sure you go and see the Continental Automotive stand at the CV Show (hall 6 stand 080). Also, check out the website: www.vdo.com/uk
The first portable sat-nay system with truck attributes
The new VDO Dayton Truck SatNav is the first portable sat-nay system with truck attributes, European coverage and digital TV in a neat package. By simply entering the vehicle's details, such as type, height, width, length, hazardous goods, weight, weight per axle etc, the optimum route will be calculated avoiding any restrictions such as low bridges and narrow roads.
The system comes with a host of useful features, including digital TV, LCD TFT touchscreen 4.3" widescreen display, full European coverage (including GB and Ireland) and specific truck-related points of interests such as filling stations with high-pressure fuel pumps, truckstops and restaurants that cater for commercial vehicles. The route planner gives drivers the option to plan 10 routes with up to 25 drops and the optional TMC and Bluetooth cradles enable drivers to avoid any congestion en route as well as make handsfree calls.
