Cobra, a leader in the provision of security and safety solutions for the automotive industry, has announced its participation at Thatcham's Triple Focus Event on 15 June 2011. Thatcham, the UK's pre-eminent independent vehicle security testing body, is hosting its annual Triple Focus Event which offers anyone with a professional interest in motor insurance, vehicle security or vehicle repair an opportunity to network with industry experts and opinion leaders.
The ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (AVCIS), the umbrella organisation working with 43 police forces across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to combat vehicle enabled crime, will be holding its National Vehicle Crime Forum at Thatcham's Triple Focus Event. This year Cobra is sponsoring the AVCIS National Vehicle Crime Forum, the UK's largest law enforcement led autocrime gathering of the year.
Cobra is a key business partner to AVCIS, providing the technology behind The AVCIS Capture Car Programme; supplying and fitting vehicle monitoring and surveillance systems to a fleet of vehicles available for police forces to rent directly from AVCIS. Cobra's Managing Director, Andrew Smith also sits on the AVCIS board.
Andrew Smith, Managing Director of Cobra UK, says "It is very important for us to support Thatcham and AVCIS at the Triple Focus Event as both are long standing and major partners of Cobra. The event is key for the vehicle security and insurance industries and as a major player in these sectors it is paramount that Cobra has a presence."
DCI Mark Hooper, Head of AVCIS, says "Cobra's industry leading expertise in delivering the technology behind our Capture Car Programme is first class. We are thrilled to have the support of Cobra at our National Vehicle Crime Forum."
Cobra will be exhibiting on the first day of Thatcham's Triple Focus Event, showcasing a range of telematics solutions in addition to security alarms and tracking products, all of which are Thatcham accredited, widely known as the most significant and sought-after accreditation in the industry.
Dean Lander at Thatcham, says "Cobra and Thatcham have enjoyed a long partnership and once again we appreciate the company's support at our Triple Focus Event. This year we are hosting a number of events under one roof with our British Insurance Vehicle Security Awards and AVCIS' National Vehicle Crime Forum both taking place on the 15 June."
Products showcased will include Cobra's recently upgraded CobraTrak Plus and CobraTrak 5 GPS stolen vehicle tracking solutions with new generation technology plus Web Monitoring. Web Monitoring offers a host of benefits including allowing operators to self set a geofence zone (effectively a "safe" zone) around vehicles and receive immediate alerts via SMS/email/voice alert should a vehicle enter or leave the pre-set area.
Cobra already provides a range of telematics solutions to fleets, vehicle manufacturers, logistics providers and insurance companies, including a telematics solution for the Coverbox pay as you drive insurance policy, while the Co-Operative is using it to power its Smartbox Young Driver Insurance.
