Sustainability report finds cost and efficiency main drivers of fleet action

Companies are more likely to adopt sustainable initiatives if they realise cost savings, efficiency improvements, or revenue growth in the near term, according to Geotab.

It reports that there has been a significant shift from long-term aspirations to more immediate, tangible results that improve the bottom line while reducing environmental impact.

Its fourth annual sustainability and impact report - Pragmatic solutions for a changing world – highlights how Geotab increased deployment of its sustainability solutions by 39% last year, with the number of electric vehicles connected to Geotab telematics growing by 63% and travelling more than 700 million miles.

Neil Cawse, founder and CEO of Geotab, explained: “Sustainability can drive both cost savings and efficiency. 

“When these initiatives are integrated into everyday business operations, they naturally reduce environmental impact while boosting the bottom line. It’s a clear win-win, and hard to oppose once you see the value.”

Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Geotab’s aim is to provide businesses with data-driven tools that deliver short-term operational improvements and measurable environmental benefits. 

“At Geotab, we're focused on empowering customers with data-driven solutions that translate into real-world efficiency gains,” continued Cawse. 

“Whether it’s optimising routes, minimising fuel consumption, or strategically transitioning to electric vehicles, these actions directly reduce operational expenses while supporting environmental goals.”

Last month, Geotab 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.
