Telematics

Connected vehicle technologies have become a cornerstone of pro-active fleet management, allowing fleet managers to improve safety, boost productivity, minimise costs and transition seamlessly to EVs.

While there is no shortage of companies offering telematics services, 100 Trusted Brands in Fleet suppliers go above and beyond the installation of ‘black boxes’ to track vehicles.

From the start, they listen to a fleet's objectives and design bespoke solutions to deliver them. For some customers, this may be the identification of higher-risk drivers. They monitor incidents of speeding and harsh braking to spot those drivers most likely to have an accident. With this data, driver training can then be targeted accurately.

For other customers, the ability to identify the employee with the right skillset and the necessary parts inventory on board has become a key operational tool to provide a 'right-firsttime' service to their own clients.

Telematics is also central to efficient route planning, helping to plot the quickest route between multiple stops, saving time and fuel. Telemetry also helps fleets to reduce engine idling time and its associated costs.

With so many sensors on board, telematics gives fleet managers a tool to get on the front foot with vehicle maintenance, too. The data is analysed by AI to signal alerts about components showing the first signs of failure. This paves the way for predictive maintenance, lessening downtime and breakdowns.

As fleets transition to electric powertrains, telematics provides vital data of vehicle routes and mileages, identifying vehicles that could be switched to battery models without having to recharge during the working day, and locating charging stations for those that need to plug in.
