Leader in transportation safety joins MAGTEC
Summary
One of North America’s most respected transportation safety specialists, Gary Catapano, has joined MAGTEC to help promote SafeSpeed®—the intelligent vehicle management system that limits the maximum speed to posted speed limits and allows customers to remotely disable moving vehicles safely in emergencies. He also served the National School Transportation Association for five consecutive terms as chair of the Safety and Security Committee. MAGTEC began developing and manufacturing commercial intelligent vehicle control systems to help prevent Jeep theft during Operation Desert Storm, and has since designed systems used to prevent vehicle and cargo theft, speeding and more for fleets that transport everything from high-value pharmaceuticals to oil and gas. “Protecting passengers, drivers and other highway users is what our products are all about, so we’re excited to have Gary build awareness about how SafeSpeed® can help make transportation safer,” says Morisset. The technology also helps mitigate the risks of speeding-related crashes when drivers suffer from medical issues, and also allows fleet managers to remotely disable moving vehicles in the event of hijackings.
