Cobra is launching into the commercial vehicle industry at this year's CV Show at the NEC in Birmingham from 12th to 14th April, with a range of new products aimed specifically at the van and truck market.
It is the first time the company has had a presence at the show and it will be showcasing a number of products, with a focus on promoting security and safety. Pioneers of vehicle electronic solutions and at the forefront of vehicle security and safety technology, Cobra has been providing vehicle manufacturers with tried and tested products for line-fit since the 1970s. Now the company is offering real solutions for fleet operators wanting to reduce their operating costs and assistance in meeting Duty of Care obligations.
On the stand, Cobra will be showcasing products including Cobra Alarms and Immobilisers, Cobra Parking Sensors, CobraTrak Stolen Vehicle Tracking, Rear View Cameras, NSV Bluetooth® Handsfree Systems (compatible with all Bluetooth® enabled handsets), Cruise Control and Speed Limiters, as well as the new Mini Coyote V2 GPS Speed Camera Alert Device. All products are fully warranted and can be professionally fitted by approved installers.
Andrew Smith, Managing Director of Cobra UK, says "We are now offering benefit-led products and unrivalled expertise in electronic solutions to the CV market. Our range of innovative products for LCVs and HGVs offer cost efficiencies, assist with driver safety in relation to Duty of Care responsibility and improve vehicle security, making them a must for commercial vehicle fleets."
World-renowned suppliers of the most advanced standard fit vehicle security systems, Cobra's vehicle alarms and immobilisers are all Thatcham approved and recognised by the UK's major insurers. The range includes the 4400 Series of Thatcham 2-1 approved CAN integrated alarms, which are fully compatible with OE immobilisers and a wide range of commercial vehicle applications, along with non CAN alarms.
Cobra's ParkMaster range of parking sensors can help protect the fleet investment and avoid costly damage, expensive time off the road, pedestrian injury and possible litigation in turn collectively reducing operating costs. These are quality OE standard products and can be painted to match the colour of the vehicle.
Cobra's CobraTrak Stolen Vehicle Tracking Systems will also be showcased at the CV Show. With an estimated 300,000 vehicles stolen every year, the UK is the worst affected country in Europe. CobraTrak uses the latest GPS / GPRS / GSM technology to locate a vehicle to within 10 metres.
Cobra's network of 24 hour monitoring centres across 36 European countries, Russia and South Africa commence live tracking when a theft is reported and liaise with police authorities in local language to recover the vehicle quickly and undamaged.
Aside from the obvious financial implications of losing a vehicle, truck theft can damage confidence in an operator's ability to deliver loads securely and on time, which could result in the loss of further haulage contracts and potentially destroy a business overnight.
Also being exhibited on the stand at the CV Show will be Cobra's Cruise Control product, which improves fuel economy and reduces CO2 emissions. It offers a fully digital solution, plug and play installation and comes with a speed limiter option. Ultimately, speed limiters improve driver safety and can help fleets comply with Duty of Care regulations.
In addition Cobra will be demonstrating its NSV Bluetooth® Handsfree Systems, designed to integrate perfectly into any vehicle with OE style switchgear, and compatible with any Bluetooth® enabled handset. With plug and play installation, hands free operation and voice dialling activation, drivers can drive safely and legally.
