GATX Rail Europe is taking a significant stride into the digital age with the expansion of its telematics offering for customers. This is part of the company’s commitment to providing innovative solutions and enhancing customer experience in the rail transport industry.

Basic Telematics Package: Inclusive and Advantageous
One of the key highlights of this expansion is the introduction of the Basic Telematics Package as a standard part of GATX’s lease contract, offered to customers at no additional cost. GATX Rail Europe understands the importance of making advanced technology accessible to all, and with the Basic Telematics Package, every customer gains essential access to telematics data for their fleet.

Strategic Partnership with kasasi
GATX Rail Europe’s collaboration with kasasi serves as a significant step towards offering advanced telematics services to our customers. This partnership not only allows easy access by lowering the entry bar to telematics services for existing GATX customers, but it also allows for direct interfaces with existing systems and for strategic information exchange. “Customers benefit from an enriched experience as all GATX railcars are equipped with telematics devices, providing them with extensive data for improved transport decision-making,” states Elisabeth Jilli, Head of Sales and Service. Markus Lechner, CEO at kasasi, adds, “The partnership with GATX is strategic for us. Together, we are shaping a future where efficiency, transparency, and innovation are the cornerstones of outstanding logistics solutions that create real value for the customers.”

Direct Access and Training Opportunities
With the GATX-kasasi partnership, customers now have the option to access their railcars directly through the GATX-kasasi portal easily through the gatx.eu website. “This streamlined access not only enhances our customers’ user experience, but also opens possibilities for training and upgrades through the kasasi platform,” explains Elisabeth Jilli.

Empowering Customers with Telematics Data
GATX Rail Europe aims to showcase the possibilities and advantages of utilizing telematics data, moving beyond the traditional concept of leasing wagons. By integrating telematics into their operations, customers can benefit from data-based support for enhanced sustainable and optimized logistics planning. Julian Madsen, Strategy & Sales Development Manager at GATX Rail Europe, emphasizes, “The strategic cooperation with kasasi is a means to empower our customers with telematics data-based planning. We are grateful to have found a trusted strategic partner in kasasi.” He also acknowledges the efforts of colleagues in building this strategic partnership over the years.
