LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 25, 2024--
International haulage company JJX Logistics has improved the safety and sustainability of its fleet operations by implementing advanced AI solutions from Samsara, the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud. The move has enabled JJX Logistics to achieve a 17% reduction in fleet emissions in just three months and become one of the seven UK companies to gain Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) Trucking Security Requirements (TSR) Level 1 approval.

With more than 70% of goods handled by JJX Logistics being UN-regulated dangerous goods — such as commercial lithium-ion battery packs and Class 8 corrosive liquids — Samsara has played a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of drivers carrying dangerous, high-value cargo.
By fitting its fleet of 58 hard-bodied, soft-sided and temperature-regulated trailers, Sprinter vans, and articulated trucks with Samsara’s dual-facing cameras and AI-driven Vehicle Gateways, JJX Logistics has full visibility of every vehicle, which can be monitored and tracked on a single screen.
Samsara’s technology has also been pivotal in reducing overall vehicle emissions and improving fuel efficiency. Within the first three months of implementing Samsara’s monitoring features, the company has achieved a 17% reduction in vehicle emissions. The ability to monitor idling times has also helped to shape changes in driver behaviour, saving almost 400 gallons of fuel in the second half of 2023.
Edward Martin, Head of Security & Fleet Compliance at JJX Logistics comments: “We’re continuously operating in a high-pressure environment where compliance is paramount. We’re not about moving items from A to B in bulk, as fast or as cheap as possible – we’re a solutions-driven company who work with our customers to tailor the perfect approach for every individual task. And we are able to operate at a high level of service because of the value the Samsara technology adds to our operations.
“Our vehicles are now being driven better, and this is increasing sustainability, fuel efficiency and hopefully insurance costs. The real-time tracking, transparency and efficiency we can now achieve is part of our credibility as a business.”
Philip van der Wilt, SVP and GM EMEA at Samsara, said: “Like us, JJX Logistics views every customer engagement as a partnership. Trustworthiness, reliability and customer service are at the heart of their business and regardless of what they transport, one thing that links their customers and their consignments is security and the assurance they can provide to ensure that their loads are safe. We’re pleased that our technology is playing a pivotal role in that, and we’re looking forward to seeing our partnership with JJX grow even further.”

BENGALURU, India (AP) — Royal Challengers Bengaluru kept alive their slim playoff hopes in the Indian Premier League with a four-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in a low-scoring thriller on Saturday.
Bengaluru pacers came to the party as Gujarat was put into bat and bowled out for 147 runs in 19.3 overs.
Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis then led the way with 64 off 23 balls, as the hosts finished with 152-6 in only 13.4 overs. Virat Kohli scored 42 runs in 27 balls and shared an opening partnership of 92 with du Plessis in 5.5 overs.
Bengaluru moved off the bottom of the table with its fourth win in 11 games, and is now seventh with eight points ahead of Punjab Kings on net run-rate. It is mathematically still in contention to advance.
Gujarat lost its third consecutive game and dropped to ninth in the 10-team table. It also has eight points and potentially can still make the playoffs.
Bengaluru chose to bowl on a lively pitch. It provided early dividends as Gujarat’s batting came apart early on.
Openers Wriddhiman Saha (1) and Shubman Gill (2) fell cheaply — Mohammed Siraj dismissed both in successive overs.
Cameron Green then got rid of in-form Sai Sudharsan (6) as Gujarat was down to 19-3 in 5.3 overs.
Shahrukh Khan scored 37 off 24 balls, and put on 61 off 37 with David Miller (30) for the fourth wicket to rescue the innings.
They were both dismissed within seven deliveries leaving the work undone as Gujarat reached 87-5.
Rahul Tewatia then guided the lower order with 35 off 21 balls, but the Titans finished with an under-par score.
Siraj took 2-29 in four overs, while fellow pacers Yash Dayal and Vijaykumar Vyashak took a brace each as well.
Chasing only 148, Bengaluru got off to a fiery start. Du Plessis was in the mood as he smashed 10 fours and three sixes, reaching 50 off only 18 balls.
Kohli hit a rapid 42. His strike rate has been questioned this season, but he had no issues on this day – smacking four sixes and scoring at 155.56.
Du Plessis fell against the run of play, and the chaos began for Bengaluru. While Kohli stayed at one end, wickets kept falling at the other.
Bengaluru went from 92-0 to 117-6 in the space of 29 balls, losing big-name batters. Will Jacks, who scored a century in the previous game against Gujarat, fell for one.
Impact player Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Green all departed without touching double digits. Ireland pacer Josh Little dismissed all three, along with du Plessis, to finish with 4-45 in four overs.
The worrying point for Bengaluru came when Kohli too was out caught in the 11th over, almost leaving Bengaluru stranded.
Dinesh Karthik (21 not out) and Swapnil Singh (15 not out) steadied the innings as the Royal Challengers registered a third consecutive win to keep alive its slender hopes.
