Truck-Lite entered a joint development project with TrackPoint in January 2017 with the goal of communicating information from Truck-Lite’s industry-first Light-Out Detection System to a fleet’s back office. TrackPoint’s solar-powered and wireless capabilities significantly complemented the Road Ready by Truck-Lite technology roadmap; since then, Road Ready by Truck-Lite has developed into an independent business unit and provides the industry’s first true smart trailer network tied to telematics, the company says.
“Entering an agreement with TrackPoint was a key factor in Truck-Lite’s emergence as a leading telematics systems provider,” says Brian Kupchella, Truck-Lite CEO. “By combining our resources and expertise, we’ve built the most dynamic and customizable trailer telematics network available.”
Founded in Nashville in 2005, TrackPoint revolutionized wireless, location-based asset monitoring products and has served local, state and federal government agencies in addition to privately owned fleets. With its patented solar-powered Tr/IPS master control unit, TrackPoint says it quickly became an industry leader in wireless, untethered trailer tracking and monitoring.
