Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), the operator of Dhaka Metro Rail, on Monday signed an agreement with Bangla Trac Group’s digital mobility platform Carcopolo to introduce a GPS-based Vehicle Telematics System (VTS) for improving fleet management of its official vehicles.
The agreement was signed at the DMTCL head office by Director (Operation and Maintenance) of DMTCL Mohammed Nazrul Islam, and CEO of Thane Systems of Carcopolo M Tanvir Siddique, said a press release.
