Fleet management is undergoing a significant transformation in recent years, mainly driven by various technological advances that have been incorporated into day-to-day business, regulatory changes and growing environmental awareness. As we approach 2025, fleet management companies are faced with the need to adapt to this increasingly competitive environment.

Fleet management is a key issue in the transport and logistics industry, as well as for any company that owns a fleet to run its business. An efficient fleet management system enables companies to maximise productivity, reduce costs and improve safety.

The transport industry, in its constant evolution, is updating the different technologies that improve the sector, such as the mandatory implementation of the digital tachograph in all trucks. This device, which registers the activity of drivers and vehicles, has become an essential tool for guaranteeing road safety and compliance with regulations. For this reason, the European Union is making it compulsory to update these devices, which are called second generation digital tachographs.

The integration of real-time data has revolutionised many aspects of logistics and transport. For those of us involved in fleet management through telematics solutions, this technology has become essential to improve efficiency and decision-making. But what does real-time data integration really mean and how does it apply to this sector?

Fuel efficiency depends on the rolling resistance of tires. Low rolling resistance tires improve this efficiency. Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial. Assessing the vehicle’s needs and performing regular maintenance are essential. Choosing the right tires and considering the climate and road conditions saves fuel and reduces environmental impact.

Sustainability is a growing concern, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and seeking alternative energies. A crucial aspect is the transition to electric vehicles and the protection against pollutant emissions. The European Union has assigned its member countries the responsibility of creating low emission zones (LEZ) to improve urban air quality by restricting access to polluting vehicles.

The adoption of electric fleets is a trend in the transport, logistics or distribution sector, mainly driven by the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a technology designed to monitor in real time the pressure and temperature of a vehicle’s tyres. These systems use sensors installed in each tyre that measure the pressure and temperature and transmit it to a receiver in the vehicle.

Operational efficiency is one of the objectives pursued by all companies, regardless of the sector in which they operate. For years, transport and distribution companies have been trying to improve their operations by constantly striving for more and better efficiency in distribution-related areas.

Data has become one of the most precious assets for businesses today. A large majority of companies are already implementing data governance systems, which allow them on the one hand to collect all the data generated in the activity, for its subsequent use and processing, and on the other hand, to strengthen the cybersecurity systems that are so necessary in today’s fully interconnected world.
