Derbyshire based 6918 Mobile Visual Information Systems (MVIS) and 6919 Safety Vehicle Hire and Lease (SVHL) from Leicestershire have joined forces in a deal that they say will not only enable wider market access to the latest generation of variable message signs (VMS), but which they hope will also promote the case for legislative evolution facilitating the greater efficiency of the UK’s road network.
MVIS supplies mobile and solar powered monitoring and visual information systems, including VMS, to the traffic management sector, while SVHL focuses on specialist rental and contract hire to the traffic management company and local authority market.
Under the terms of the new deal, SVHL has become MVIS’ exclusive rental partner, and will lease MVIS’ VMS via its well established customer network of traffic management companies and local authorities.
MVIS’ managing director, Tony Price, commented: “The new rental partnership will support MVIS in its continued market expansion, introducing our five colour VMS system to a wide customer base and further educating them in the benefits of multi-colour products, which allow more rapid user interpretation. By building product awareness and demand in this way, we hope that we will ultimately help to encourage the Department for Transport and the503 Highways Agency to update regulations permitting a greater use of colour on the UK’s roads, facilitating the greater efficiency of the road network.”
Said SVHL’s managing director, Mark Carrington: “The new partnership provides SVHL with a logical extension to its product range. The market for electronic VMS is expanding rapidly, and MVIS is at the forefront of the constantly evolving technology available. We look forward to working with MVIS to expanding the market for multi-colour VMS and hopefully in turn to contributing towards eventual legislative evolution.”
