AA correct choice
14.06.08

The AA has relied on Carnations Phoenix management system for its entire fleet since 2003. "The AA fleet consists of almost 3000 roadside assistance and recovery vehicles and we normally replace about 1000 vehicles every year," explained Gary Evans, Fleet Engineer at the AA. "The recovery vehicles are primarily Renault trucks and the roadside assistance vehicles are a mixture of makes that include Renault, Volkswagen, Ford and Vauxhall,"
Gary continued. "Having a separate power management system is important for our vehicles due to all the electrical items we have on board, from communications equipment, charging equipment and jump lead systems, to the beacons on the top, which have various different functions including day- and night-time flash pattern settings!" With genisys we will also be able to incorporate a run lock system into our vehicles, which means drivers can remove their keys from the ignition but the engine will keep running."The run lock ensures that adequate power will be supplied to the amber lights, for example, without draining the battery. "genisys is very compact and will be quick and straightforward to locate in various places around the vehicle; we can easily expand on the system as and when we need to," Gary concluded. "I have seen genisys in operation in many Emergency Service vehicles and, having worked with Carnation for so long, I am confident the technology transfer will be a great success,"

Martin Mowle FCILT AMSOE AMIRTE, East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust comments... "The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust has a long established working relationship with Carnation Designs Ltd with the use of its Phoenix system.
Working with Carnation engineers we have been able to design a bespoke system uniquely suited to the challenges and demands of todays A & E ambulance. Combined with Voice alerts, Visual LCD text readouts and numerous automated functions of the system, all of which requires less interaction by the operator and therefore making it easier for our staff to use, this in turn will enable our clinicians to focus on the delivery of high quality patient care.
Whilst the system in itself is very complex, genisys also offers us a more unsurpassed level of flexibility and control with the advantage of the ability to 'add on' if needed at a later date.
Given it's proven reliability and a robust system, genisys was a natural choice and progression for our latest A&E ambulance build."
Craig Hall of Carnation adds... "Carnation Designs Ltd are delighted to have been selceted as the Power Management System for this prestigious contract. The outcome that the users of these impresive vehicles will see is a real testoment to all of the hard work that both the East of England Fleet Team and the Specialist Design Team at Carnation have put in and it will certainly set a very high standard for future National Specification guided Ambulances".

Jacks vehicle will be somewhat lower spec as it has to get change from 1000.00 pounds sterling and the engine can be no bigger than 1000cc!!
The Mongol Rally 2007 starts on July 21st from Hyde Park and the aim is to travel a third of the way around the earth, from London to Mongolia via a plethora of countries most people haven't heard of.
Starting from London, the rally finishes in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar around three weeks later. It's between 8,000 and 10,000 miles depending on the route Jack decides to take. To get to the end teams have in the past gone as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far south as Afghanistan on what can only be described as somewhat impassable routes. What happens to Jack between London, the deserts, mountains, bandits and wilderness is anyone's guess. In a normal year just over half the teams make the finish line in one piece.
See genisys and Jack on "Mongolia or Bust" which will be aired on ITV2 and MTV Europe in the near future.
