Trimble Partners with Babcock to Equip the UK Ministry of Defense Fleet

Trimble TRMB announced today that it is partnering with Babcock, the UK's leading engineering support services organization, which provides and manages the fleet of approximately 14,000 administrative vehicles for the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD). As part of a four-year agreement, Babcock will use Trimble's field service management solutions to equip the MoD with innovative tools to more efficiently manage its fleet utilization, fuel consumption and driver safety. Trimble was selected following Babcock's appointment in 2011 as the Service Provider for "Project Phoenix," under which they provide the overall fleet management and rental services for the MoD's administrative transport requirements. Partnering with Babcock, the Trimble® GeoManager Fleet Management solution will be deployed across 12,000 of the MoD's cars, light commercial vehicles and heavy goods vehicles (HGV).
