Brekford Corp. and Trimble Navigation Ltd. have formed a partnership aimed at supporting federal government fleets' efforts to maximize fuel efficiency, decrease vehicle emissions and reduce operating costs.

"There is an increasing amount of pressure being placed on federal agencies to cut costs," says C.B. Brechin, CEO of Brekford. "Through our partnership with Trimble, Brekford will help agencies better manage mileage, idle time and fuel usage in an effort to reduce emissions, as well as fuel costs."

Trimble's GeoManager Fleet Management solution is a tool that integrates GPS, vehicle diagnostics, driver safety, wireless communications and a hosted software application suite to allow fleet managers to better manage overall vehicle and workforce performance. Brekford focuses on vehicle up-fitting services and automated traffic safety solutions.
