Geotab Partners with Volvo Cars to Revolutionize Fleet Connectivity

TORONTO – Geotab, a leading provider of connected transportation solutions, has announced a partnership with Volvo Cars, marking a significant expansion of its Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) telematics network. This collaboration integrates Volvo’s robust vehicle data with Geotab’s advanced analytics platform, delivering seamless telematics solutions to commercial fleets without the need for retrofitting.

The partnership is a game-changer for fleet operators, offering real-time insights to enhance fleet performance. This integration supports Volvo Cars equipped with either the Volvo On Call connectivity service or Android-based infotainment systems, extending coverage to vehicles as far back as the 2014 model year.

“For decades, Volvo Cars has been renowned for manufacturing durable, reliable and robust cars while being at the forefront of innovation. These are the same features and values that define Geotab’s data and analytics solutions”, said Christoph Ludewig, VP Leasing/Rental/Mobility & OEM, Geotab.

Benefits for Fleet Operators

The integration provides Volvo fleet managers with a host of benefits, including:

• Optimized Fuel and Energy Use: By monitoring fuel levels and state of charge for electric and hybrid vehicles, operators can improve route planning and reduce costs.
• Improved EV Charging Practices: Insights into charging status and time remaining help fleets establish efficient charging routines.
• Maximized Vehicle Utilization: Tracking trip distances and odometer readings reduces unnecessary mileage and enhances fleet deployment.
• Reduced Downtime: Proactive tracking of vehicle health data enables efficient maintenance scheduling.
• Simplified Compliance: Automated driver logs help differentiate between business and personal trips for accurate record-keeping.

Broad OEM Integration

Geotab’s MyGeotab platform now includes OEM data from major automotive manufacturers across Europe and integrates data from Geotab’s retrofitted devices. This compatibility spans fully electric, plug-in hybrid, and internal combustion vehicles, offering fleet managers a unified view of their operations regardless of vehicle brand, model year, or drive type.

Available globally, this integration ensures Volvo fleet managers can access synchronized data insights tailored to their needs, further solidifying Geotab’s position as a leader in connected transportation solutions.
