With rising fuel prices and energy volatility squeezing margins, businesses are pivoting to data-driven strategies to protect their bottom line.

“Fuel volatility is a reminder that sustainability is a business strategy,” says Geotab

New insights from Geotab reveal how global organisations are leveraging connected vehicle data to slash fuel waste, cut idling by 30%, reduce collisions and fast-track electrification.

Featured in Geotab’s fifth annual Sustainability and Impact Report, these insights detail how global organisations across five continents are using connected vehicle data to slash fuel costs, lower emissions and enhance road safety.

“Fuel volatility is a reminder that sustainability is a business strategy,” said Neil Cawse, founder and CEO of Geotab. “When integrated with a pragmatic focus on short-term value, sustainability measures can drive both efficiency and profitability. Every operational improvement is an immediate, measurable step toward resilience and growth.”

Real-world impact: How global fleets are using data to decarbonise

Across industries and geographies, organisations are already translating fleet data into measurable environmental and financial outcomes.

In 2025, Geotab-connected electric vehicles travelled over 870 million miles (1.4 billion kilometres) as global fleets utilised data to drive environmental and financial improvements. Key achievements included Tarmac’s 30% reduction in idling, Bpost’s £1.38m (€1.6m) fuel savings and significant efficiency gains for Autolinee Federico, Richards Building Supply, and the City of Carmel.

As fleets face pressure from energy costs, emissions regulations and operational risk, many are turning to connected vehicle data to identify efficiency gains and guide long-term electrification strategies.

“Geotab’s greatest contribution to sustainability is helping the transportation industry optimise operations. Everyday, we see businesses reduce fuel use, cut emissions and make more strategic choices around electrification using data and AI insights. But sustainability is a collective effort, so we must also hold ourselves accountable. This report highlights both the progress of our customers and the steps we are taking as a company to reduce our own impact,” added Cawse.
