Geotab launches HGV fleet management platform

Geotab has launched the Geotab Truck Solution for Europe, which is designed to help businesses increase their fleet’s productivity, optimise efficiency and improve driver safety and compliance with regulatory changes.

The new platform consists of the company’s flagship product, the Geotab GO device, plus complementary hardware and software designed to meet the needs of HGV fleet managers in Europe.

Providing access to near real-time vehicle and driver data, the solution offers insights into driver identification, automatic remote downloading, real-time tachograph status and infraction analysis, says Geotab.

It aims to eliminate the manual management of driver and vehicle tacho information and helps provide fleet managers with a single, unified view of their entire fleet.

“Building off our established and market leading position in the North American HGV market we are pleased to now cater to Europe, providing the flexibility, agility and security that telematics data and insight affords,” said David Savage, regional manager UK and Ireland for Geotab.

“As a core pillar of the commercial vehicle market, extending Geotab’s complete services to HGVs was the next logical step in our growth across the region. Our focus continues to be on driving maximum value for our customers out of their fleet management efforts”

Fleet managers are able to expand the Truck Solution’s functionality further with access to the Geotab Marketplace, a growing portfolio of mobile apps, software Add-Ins and hardware Add-Ons ranging from camera solutions, route planners, asset trackers and much more.

“Heavy goods vehicle fleets are the lifeblood of our economy,” continued Savage. “In these challenging times, comprehensive understanding of a fleet’s operations is vital for survival.

“With as much as a third of British small HGV fleets sitting idle at COVID’s peak and fears of a second wave, having the tools to confidently manage operations is a must. Telematics data provides the clarity, security and confidence needed to make key decisions when managing fleets, helping businesses remain agile, whatever the challenge.”
