London Lorry Ban Big Support A Factor In GPS Purchase
Article by: Darren Griffin
Date: 24 Jan 2011
 A survey by Navevo, has revealed the London Lorry Control Scheme and other regulated routes are a big concern to professional drivers.
GPS devices that are aware of the various regulated routes are now proving to be a leading factor when choosing a navigation system.
The London Lorry Ban in particular has proved to be confusing with many drivers unaware of the approved routes into and out of London when the ban is in force. Consequently, many are making long diversions in order to make deliveries in Central London when they could use more direct, approved, routes into and out of the City.
This is resulting in unnecessary additional milage and expense to the operators.
ProNav, Navevo's HGV navigation solution already includes London Lorry ban routing data alongside a suite of user oriented features such as Dynamic ETA and customisable attributes for optimised HGV and large vehicle navigation.
Commenting on the survey, Navevo CEO Nick Caesari said, “HGV navigation technology has evolved considerably over the past year and is now finally starting to be recognised by the haulage industry as a vital component of any fleet management system.”
We reviewed ProNav's PNN-300 solution recently and our resident trucker found it worked well. With almost daily media news of lorries taking unsuitable routes or getting stuck in narrow lanes it is time that owners and operators considered the benefits of investing in a navigation solution designed for large vehicle users.
