Commercial fleet managers are facing an end-of-year deadline to switch out their Verizon 3G hardware, as the carrier has announced plans to shut down its legacy cellular networks.
An array of new and updated solutions in 2019 will help fleet managers reduce risky driver behavior like never before.
Geotab has begun offering the latest iteration of its plug-in, connected telematics device, which is more powerful and precise that the outgoing device, the Toronto-area supplier announced.
Geotab's plug-in, connected telematics device has received validation under a federal cryptography standard that requires it to meet four levels of security to protect the transfer of data from the vehicle module, the telematics provider announced.
LeasePlan USA will begin offering its commercial fleets telematics products from Geotab, a Toronto-area leader in tracking and connected vehicle technology.
Retrofitting older vehicles with a collision warning system and a telematics device can significantly improve driver behavior and enhance safety, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The solution combines Geotab hardware, which captures data from approximately 100 different truck sensors, and Uptake's software, to help provide fleets with precise insights into which components will fail and when.
Los Angeles and Phoenix experience the widest range of temperatures during a summer day, while Seattle registers the lowest temperature range among 20 cities that Geotab analyzed for a report culled from fleet vehicles using the company's telematics devices.
A newly-formed alliance of fleet associations, telematics providers, and the nation's largest rental car provider have asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for a public hearing to help clarify who will control access to vehicle data.
Colin Sutherland, Geotab's executive vice president of sales and marketing, speaks about telematics industry consolidation, vehicle security, and answers the question of who owns vehicle data in this interview.
