Fleet Telematics Systems in the UK industry analysis
Fleet telematics systems have become commonplace in large fleets but continue to grow. Analytical services enable fleet directors to monitor drivers' speed, fuel usage, navigation and maintenance needs, helping to boost efficiency and cut costs. Fleet telematics system providers are transitioning to software-based services, away from hardware (which costs more to produce). They're also working closely with car manufacturers to integrate software into cars on the production line, helping sidestep external competition from free navigational apps on smartphones, like Google and Apple Maps.
Trends and Insights
- Surging electric vehicle ownership is set to boost demand. Their sometimes short battery lives and the need to seek out charging points en route may benefit fleet telematics systems providers.
- Online deliveries shoot up because of COVID-19. This has prompted more drivers onto the roads, pushing up the need for fleet telematics systems among home delivery companies and couriers.
- As the centre of business, London dominates. The capital gives fleet telematics system operators opportunities to seek out investment, form new business relationships and find talented tech workers.
- Price competition continues to surge. It’s easy for small companies to enter the industry and once software is developed, capital costs are pretty low. This means lots of small companies are willing to negotiate low prices.
