Future trends in fleet management
Safety, decarbonisation and artificial intelligence (AI) are developing trends. Here’s a quick overview of what each trend offers fleet efficiency.
- Safety: Legislation aimed at increasing road safety continues to evolve. Adhering to the latest rules on drivers’ hours, for instance, helps fleets avoid penalties. By complying with legislation on smart tachographs, fleets can also set their business up for greater efficiency, since the new devices come with regular software updates.
- Decarbonisation: Standards on CO2 emissions are growing increasingly strict. One challenge for fleets is monitoring and reducing their carbon emissions. In the coming years, fleets will also need to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Directive. Tools that make it easy to provide accurate CO2 reports while operating more sustainably will be essential to fleet efficiency.
- Artificial intelligence: AI is becoming fundamental to fleet operations. Consider, for instance, how AI-powered dash cams help improve safety by detecting risky driving behaviours. As the technology advances, we will see more AI developments and applications for increasing fleet safety, efficiency and sustainability. To prepare for these future advances, it’s crucial to choose the right fleet management system.
