We have a long standing and proud partnership with MTData, with their technology being implemented on MinRes road trains for well over a decade. With both MinRes and MTData leading technology advancements, MinRes is pleased to be among the first companies to commercially trial their new MTData 7000AI safety and compliance device. The device will provide feedback on driver fatigue and vehicle telematics across our national footprint. This includes real-time AI management of data on engine performance and live fuel burn, as well as safety features to alert the driver if signs of fatigue are detected. This will be integrated with other AI and technology platforms already operating within our fleet. The device will be trialled in 20 brand new MinRes Kenworth road trains operating in Western Australia and Queensland, with plans to roll the AI technology out across our fleet following the successful completion of trials.
