Hear first-hand from our customers

“Through working with Motormax, we have seen a 34% reduction in incident frequency. Working with Motormax we can develop this technology further to benefit both our drivers and members of the public. We’ve got consistency, reliability, and we’re confident that the relationship will flourish further.”

“One of the main reasons we selected Motormax was innovation. In an industry that’s constantly moving, they are too. Where you’ve got quite a large supply chain network in this industry, the consistency you get from Motormax is second to none. To say the project has been successful is an understatement. It’s worked incredibly well for Stark Group and so much so, we’ve actually been able to roll it out to 90% of our other conversions. They take pride in their work and they deliver every time”.

Motormax safety systems fitted:

• A six-camera system; it’s live, high-definition footage, the footage can be downloaded at the touch of a button, remotely from a PC or laptop so we don’t need to visit the vehicle to access the footage.
• Two side detection systems which are located along the nearside of the vehicle with a left turn alarm. Those products notify the driver and vulnerable road users that the vehicle is present and it may be making a low-speed manoeuvre.
• A cycle sign that sits on the back of the vehicle.  Again it is there to alert people around the vehicle that the vehicle is present.
• The system will also health-check itself so if a camera or hard drive fails, a notification is sent to Motormax.
