The Commission has referred to the Competition Tribunal for prosecution fleet management solutions suppliers, Mix Telematics Africa (Pty) Ltd (“Mix Africa”), Fleetco South Africa CC, Hyper Auto CC, Soltrack CC and Tectra Telematics (Pty) Ltd for cartel conduct.
 
The firms have been charged with Market Division by allocating customers in the market for the provision of value added Fleet Management Solutions in contravention of the Competition Act.
 
This follows an investigation initiated by the Commissioner on 08 November 2016. The Commission’s investigation found that between at least 1998 to date, Mix Africa has had an agreement with Fleetco South Africa, Hyper Auto, Soltrack and Tectra Telematics that it would refrain from approaching their customers.
 
This conduct amounts to market division by allocating customers in contravention of the Competition Act.
 
The Commission has asked the Tribunal to impose an administrative penalty of 10% on the turnovers of Mix Telematics Africa (Pty) Ltd, Hyper Auto CC, Soltrack CC and Tectra Telematics.
