New vehicle safety and maintenance measures for fleets from Geotab

Geotab has launched two new products for the UK fleet market at Geotab Connect 2025 in Orlando, Florida. 

Focused on helping companies move from reactive to proactive fleet management, both new products, Driver Risk Insights and Work Order Management, aim to give fleet managers the additional tools they need to improve safety records and vehicle maintenance. 

Driver Risk Insights is an AI-powered enhancement that provides fleet managers with a new level of visibility into individual driver risk factors. 

By shifting the focus from vehicle-based data to driver-specific analysis, it enables fleets, especially those with shared vehicles, to assess and predict collision risk at the driver level rather than the vehicle level. 

This more precise understanding of driver behaviour allows for targeted safety interventions, helping to reduce accidents, lower costs, and improve overall driver performance, says Geotab. 

“Fleets can’t afford to rely only on reactive safety measures,” said Sabina Martin, vice president of product management at Geotab.

“With AI-powered Driver Risk Insights, we’re giving fleet managers and drivers a predictive edge, helping them prevent collisions before they happen, reduce costs, and create a culture of continuous safety improvement.”

The new Work Order Management aims to help UK fleet managers reduce downtime and manage maintenance costs more effectively. 

It allows fleet managers to streamline maintenance tasks through the centralised hub in the MyGeotab platform. 

By consolidating scheduling, tracking, and reporting in one place, fleets can replace manual record-keeping and disconnected systems with a more efficient digital workflow. 

“Fleet maintenance is a major cost driver, and unexpected breakdowns can significantly impact operations,” added Martin. 

“We expect that Work Order Management will help UK fleets move from reactive to predictive maintenance - improving efficiency, lowering costs, and keeping vehicles on the road.”

Geotab has also revealed the winners of the 2025 Geotab Innovation Awards at Connect.

The annual awards programme celebrates the commercial businesses and public sector fleets leading the way in their use of connected vehicle technology and data insights to drive better outcomes for business, people and the planet. 

The winners, including commercial and public sector fleets from the food and beverage, transportation and logistics industries, public transit, public works, and others, used Geotab data insights to achieve significant results, such as improving fuel economy, lowering costs, reducing idling, emissions and risk, and increasing the safety of drivers. 

Nominated by Geotab partners, customers and industry peers, the Geotab Maintenance Champion Award recognises the fleet that has transformed its operations through innovative maintenance practices to save costs, time and deliver premier customer service. 

The UK’s Go-Ahead Group (UK) was crowned Maintenance Champion (commercial sector) for its use of telematics across its bus fleet in the UK, including in London where it is the largest operator of bus services.
