The China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) will soon open a new office in Cambodia, and 550 BeiDou GPS units will be subsequently installed across Cambodia to interdict illegal transportation activities nationwide.

This is according to the discussion between Minister of Public Works and Transport HE Sun Chanthol with the CGWIC Director and other relevant officials via video conference on 11 May.

The Beidou GPS is a GPS technology that can helps enhance transportation regulation and safety by reporting issues such as overloaded trucks, speeding, and tracking vehicles avoiding the weigh stations, among other illegal activities.

The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) and CGWIC first signed an MoU in November last year. (Read more)

HE Sun Chanthol stated that the purpose of using the BeiDou GPS is to modernise the transport infrastructure in Cambodia as well as ensure the safety of transportation in Cambodia and the ASEAN region.

He added that so far the plan has been going smoothly as the company is preparing to open an office in Cambodia while the ministry is also ready to cooperate on this matter.

HE Sun Chanthol also urged the company to install 550 BeiDou GPS units as planned in time so that he can bring this model to discuss with the ASEAN Transport Ministers by the end of this year.
