ACSS will demonstrate its Sentinel System live at Road Transport Expo 2026, taking place from 30 June to 2 July 2026. Visitors will see how Sentinel uses AI video intelligence to help fleet operators protect parked HGVs, trailers, vans and commercial vehicles from fuel theft, curtain slashing, cargo interference, vandalism and tampering. Sentinel is a [...]

Cargo theft continues to be a growing concern across the UK logistics sector, with organised criminal groups increasingly targeting HGVs, trailers, warehouses, and unsecured parking locations. As transport operations become more connected and time-sensitive, fleet operators are under greater pressure to improve cargo protection, driver safety, and operational visibility. According to recent industry reports, UK [...]

Cargo theft is continuing to rise across the UK and Europe, with losses increasing year on year. According to the Road Haulage Association (RHA), £111 million worth of goods were stolen from lorries in 2024, up from £68 million in 2023. This level of growth suggests a sustained and organised issue rather than isolated incidents. [...]

Every fleet relies on visibility, but what that looks like in practice varies. A logistics operator may need to monitor cargo areas, while a construction fleet may prioritise blind spot coverage. Passenger transport brings its own safety considerations. Despite these differences, many platforms still focus primarily on forward-facing cameras, leaving gaps in overall visibility. Samsara [...]

Every fleet operates differently. An operator managing temperature-controlled deliveries has very different priorities to one transporting high-value goods or running passenger services. Compliance requirements differ. Software systems differ. Risk profiles differ. Yet many fleets still rely on telematics platforms designed as generic, one-size-fits-all solutions. The common misconception around bespoke solutions relates to the costs and [...]

Cargo theft has become one of the most costly and disruptive crimes facing the UK logistics industry. Since 2020 lorry-related crimes have collectively cost the sector over £1 billion, with the fallout now being felt far beyond haulage firms — through rising insurance premiums, delivery delays, and higher prices for consumers. According to the [...]

What is a Clandestine Entrant? A clandestine entrant is someone who enters the UK illegally by hiding in or on a vehicle, most commonly a lorry or trailer. This method of entry is frequently encountered at ports and through the Channel Tunnel. Hauliers are often unaware that stowaways are inside their vehicle until discovered [...]

As UK roads grow busier and safety standards tighten, visibility has become more than a compliance box — it’s the cornerstone of proactive fleet management. Good visibility and smart monitoring help fleets tackle collisions, fatigue and distraction early, before they escalate into major incidents. Across the industry, operators are moving beyond legacy cameras and adopting [...]

In transportation, an empty mile is a missed opportunity. Every journey without cargo wastes fuel, time, and resources — and for many fleets, these unproductive miles can account for 20–30% of their total distance. ACSS’s Cargo Monitoring Camera combined with AC Cloud offers a way to change that equation. By giving operators complete visibility of [...]

Reversing heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) remains one of the most critical safety challenges for fleet operators and businesses managing commercial vehicles. Poor visibility during reversing manoeuvres is a common cause of workplace incidents, leading to injury, damage, and costly disruption. In 2025, a UK company was fined £220,000 after a director was fatally injured by [...]
