Telematics improves fleet management by providing on-the-spot information on the condition of vehicles, driving behavior, and the efficiency of the whole fleet. Telematics technology is a fusion of telecommunications and informatics: a system involves a piece of equipment in a vehicle that collects and transmits data to a central system for analyzing and acting on it. Data that is collected includes vehicle location, speed, length of journey, fuel used, fuel economy, whether the vehicle is speeding, braking too hard, stopping at traffic lights, accelerating too quickly, reversing, and also driver conduct such as idling.

TruckX has developed telematics solutions for equipping a fleet with technologies that give fleet managers constant insight into every activity. The acquired techniques involve constant monitoring of vehicles in motion. Every vehicle is equipped with a device that collects data, which is fed to the master computer. This facilitates fleet managers to control the deviations in route, monitor fuel consumption, evaluate the on-time delivery percentage, drive efficiently, enhance personal safety, and curb the number and cost of accidents.

Telematics also plays a key role in hours-of-service (HOS) compliance by tracking driver hours and providing accurate records. By utilizing the power of telematics, fleets will reduce operating costs, maximize operational efficiencies, enhance regulatory compliance, and uplift the safety of the entire operation.
