LUMBI ALL ⟩ Automaks – Estonia’s first rich tax

The City Council voted Tuesday to approve a $1.2 million contract with Automaks Systems for the implementation of a new city-wide tracking system. The system, dubbed “Lumbi,” is intended to monitor all city vehicles and equipment, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs. Council members cited concerns regarding aging infrastructure and the need for better data management as key drivers for the decision.

Automaks Systems will provide the hardware, software, and ongoing maintenance for the Lumbi system. The contract includes a five-year term with options for renewal. City officials stated that the system will track the location, usage, and maintenance needs of all municipal vehicles, including buses, sanitation trucks, and public works equipment.

Councilmember Sarah Chen expressed optimism about the project, stating, “This investment will allow us to proactively address maintenance issues, optimize routes, and ultimately, deliver better services to our residents.” The council approved the contract following a public hearing where representatives from Automaks Systems presented a demonstration of the system’s capabilities. The system is expected to be fully operational within six months.
