Overview

City Zone Express is a prominent transportation company that provides services within urban areas. They operate a large fleet of vehicles, including trucks, vans and buses, to meet the growing demand for reliable transportation services. However, City Zone Express faced challenges related to driver safety, operational efficiency, and the need to comply with stringent industry regulations. To address these issues, they partnered with SafeTruck and implemented SafeVision, an advanced video safety solution powered by artificial intelligence and cutting-edge camera technology.

Introduction

City Zone Express started as a small office providing industrial customs clearance services to other freight forwarders in Prai, Penang, Malaysia, and aimed to expand its business into other areas of logistics service providers in Malaysia.

In 2008, the decision to merge with Singapore-listed Chasen Holdings Limited successfully helped City Zone Express expand and build a larger network in a short period of time. Today, under the leadership of Mr Raj and the subsidiaries of Chasen Group, City Zone Express has a fleet of over 260 vehicles, its own warehouses and container depots in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and China.

City Zone Express recognized the importance of prioritizing safety and efficiency in their operations. They sought a comprehensive solution that could enhance driver safety, reduce accidents, improve operational efficiency, and provide valuable insights for decision-making. SafeVision, offered by SafeTruck, emerged as the ideal solution to meet their requirements. SafeVision combines advanced cameras and AI technology to deliver comprehensive video safety solutions for fleets.

Challenges  

City Zone Express faced several challenges in their operations.

Additionally, they needed to improve operational efficiency to optimize routes, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize maintenance costs. Meeting compliance standards and adhering to industry regulations were also critical challenges that City Zone Express aimed to address.

“SafeVision helps in running their daily business which helps to capture driver’s attitude, prevent accidents, maintain road safety, check driver’s static and monitor drivers behavior.
