A huge congratulations to Stoneridge employee and rally co-driver Pete McLean. Pete, with his team-mate driver David Newall and their Stoneridge-Sponsored Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8, won the arduous Pirelli Tour of Cumbria 2011 at Kielder Water (29th to 30th April).
Photos below: The Newall Motorsport Evo in action at Kielder Water, victory champagne after 71 miles and several shredded tyres…and a few days later paying a post-race visit (new tyres fitted!) to the Stoneridge office.

The new SE5000 Exakt measures drivers’ hours in line with new legislation. And being able to measure every working minute more appropriately could mean an additional 45 minutes* driving per driver per day. That’s 129 extra driving hours* per driver every year. Just imagine the difference that could make to your business and your bottom line. That’s intelligent engineering from Sweden.
Don't just take our word for it. Use our comparison tool with your own digital data and find out how much time you could be saving with the SE5000 Exakt.
*Results for a multi-drop vehicle tested over 5 days from 14th to 18th February 2011. Extra driving time gained per day averaged 45 minutes compared to SE5000 Rev. 6.3 Tachograph. Results may vary depending on driving pattern.

Stoneridge are proud to announce that they have won a contract with the Highways Agency to provide Tachograph Analysis hardware and software, including their new analysis software OPTAC3, for use by the police.
Part of the Highways Agency’s responsibility is to make roads safer and journeys more reliable, and one way they do this is through providing the police with state of the art equipment so they can check tachograph compliance. They therefore required a reliable package that allows road side checks to be made easily and accurately.
The OPTAC3 package for analogue/digital analysis, along with the digifobpro download tool, fitted the bill. Although only launched in April 2009 OPTAC3 has proven itself to be flexible and easy to use with excellent Drivers Hours analysis.
With a solution for every fleet size and type as well as analogue, digital and mixed fleets Stoneridge makes the move to OPTAC3 easy and trouble free. Furthermore, the digifobpro is the only download tool on the market with a high visibility LCD screen making it easy to access and view data wherever you are.
