Schmitz Cargobull buys Spanish telematics firm

SPAIN: Semi-trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull AG has acquired a majority stake in Atlantis Global System (AGS), the Spanish telematics solutions provider for monitoring and maintaining the cold chain.

AGS is said to be represented in most of the 50 largest companies for the transport of temperature-controlled goods in Spain.

As a result of the deal, the AGS system will be available with immediate effect for all Schmitz Cargobull refrigerated semi-trailers produced at its Zaragoza plant. 

The data from the TrailerConnect telematics system, which Schmitz Cargobull integrates as standard in all its semi-trailers, will also be made available on the AGS telematics platform. On customer request, the telematics data from the AGS system will be available within the Schmitz Cargobull TrailerConnect portal.

AGS will remain an independent cold chain specialist within the Schmitz Cargobull Group and will continue to operate independently in the market to ensure the best service for customers.
