Fleetmatics to Sponsor the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg
Fleetmatics REVEAL will be deployed on 25 construction fleet vehicles used to build and dismantle the street course. The software monitors fleet locations and driving behavior, and tracks vehicle speed, mileage and fuel usage. The data collected during the construction will be used by owners of the annual event to assist in future builds for races throughout the country.
"As with any business, we are always looking for ways to improve processes and the way we do things," said Kim Green, Owner, Chairman and CEO of Green Savoree Racing Promotions, organizers of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. "Working with a partner like Fleetmatics will certainly help with that. We look forward to leveraging their intuitive mobile solutions and applying that intelligence to our track build in St. Petersburg and track construction throughout the year."
