This week the Jordanian customs authorities have been visiting Electronic Tracking Systems to review the newest system within tracking and monitoring of vehicles.
‐ This is the first system in the world that works this way, it is truly unique,

Only transport fleet owners know the true cost of a truck hijacking. Reported figures only tend to take the value of the vehicle into account, but fail to account for the load, the emotional impact on the drivers, the subsequent staff costs, the knock on effects of failure to deliver the product to the client and so on.
Combating truck hijackings is not a simple matter, especially when the thieves are targeting only the trailer or cargo. Conventional fleet management and wired tracking devices in the truck simply don’t work if the trailer is dragged away, or if they are disabled.
