Auto Industry Updates: Geotab, C2A, Deloitte, NOVOSENSE, Soracom, and Panasonic Make Headlines in Connected Car Sector News
In the ever-evolving world of transportation, Geotab's MyGeotab platform stands as a beacon of innovation, offering a suite of data-driven sustainability solutions designed to help fleet managers reduce emissions, optimise operations, and accelerate decarbonization.
The platform's CO2 Emissions Monitoring and Reporting feature tracks and reports fleet CO2 emissions over time, identifies high emissions sources such as idling, and calculates avoided tailpipe emissions from electric vehicles (EVs). This information is crucial for fleet managers to make informed decisions about their operations and take steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
MyGeotab also monitors fuel usage inefficiencies like unnecessary idling and tracks fuel costs by vehicle and location. By identifying potential savings through improved fuel management, the platform helps fleet managers save money and reduce emissions.
Another key feature is Fleet Rightsizing, which supports assigning the most efficient vehicles to the right routes and phasing out underutilized vehicles to reduce emissions and operational costs. This feature ensures that fleet managers are making the most of their resources, leading to a more sustainable and cost-effective operation.
MyGeotab provides comprehensive EV support, including performance monitoring, electric vehicle suitability assessments to justify EV transitions, and benchmarking against internal combustion engine vehicles with metrics like litres per 100km equivalent. This feature makes it easier for fleet managers to transition to EVs and manage their EV fleet effectively.
The platform also offers Route Optimization and Vehicle Tracking, using GPS and telematics data to enable optimized routing and reduce total mileage and associated emissions. New APIs in MyGeotab facilitate managing emissions compliance programs through flexible automation of enrollment, data submission, and monitoring.
MyGeotab supports integration with third-party sensors and external data sources, enabling smarter route optimization to reduce unnecessary travel and emissions. This open platform approach allows for a more flexible and adaptable solution that can grow with a fleet's needs.
In addition to Geotab's offerings, partnerships with companies like Deloitte and C2A Security are further enhancing the platform's capabilities. Deloitte brings its industry-proven expertise to software implementation projects, offering a comprehensive solution that includes support for tool migration, tailoring of EVSec, risk management expert advice, project management, and more. The partnership between Deloitte and C2A Security will develop unique software offerings, with EVSec, C2A Security's DevSecOps Platform, being a key component.
Geotab's Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA) helps fleets build a business case for electrification by providing a clear picture of environmental and financial impacts. With these tools and partnerships, Geotab's MyGeotab platform is poised to revolutionize sustainable fleet management.
