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 [...]

While the UK has some of the safest roads globally, approximately four people still die on them every day, with thousands more seriously injured every year; in 2024, there were over 1600 deaths and 28,000 people seriously injured on Britain’s roads. Though the UK has historically been a global leader in road safety, over [...]

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 [...]

The challenges of UK winters As we get further into the winter months and are fast approaching Christmas, safety measures for drivers become more important than perhaps at any other time of year. While every seasonal change brings its own unique challenges, winter presents a particularly dangerous combination of conditions, with drivers facing wet roads, [...]

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 [...]

A bridge strike is a collision between a vehicle and a railway or road bridge, and most commonly involve HGVs and buses. With over 1800 incidents every year, bridge strikes are a common occurrence which can have serious consequences, potentially causing death or injury to road and rail users and having a huge impact on [...]

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 [...]
