Geotab has expanded its European OEM integration through a connectivity partnership with Hyundai.

The Geotab Integrated Solution for Hyundai is available across more than 40 European markets

The solution draws on OEM-embedded telematics already built into supported Hyundai models to transmit data seamlessly to the MyGeotab platform.

The integrated approach unlocks high-resolution GPS, proactive maintenance and EV insights directly via the cloud for Hyundai fleets, without the need to retrofit any additional hardware. This offers a significant cost advantage by eliminating aftermarket equipment and installation expenses.

The collaboration allows fleets to manage their entire portfolio of Hyundai vehicles – including internal combustion engines (ICE) and electric vehicles – within a single, unified environment. By harmonising native vehicle data with Geotab’s advanced analytics, managers of mixed fleets gain a consolidated view of their operations to drive more informed business decisions.

The numerous advantages for fleet managers include proactive maintenance & uptime. Direct monitoring of engine health, including oil pressure, coolant temperatures, and specific DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) status, prevents costly breakdowns.

Fleets also benefit from near real time GPS. Newer Hyundai vehicles will be able to transmit GPS every 10 seconds, while older vehicles will send data at ignition on/off.

Precision safety management is another advantage. Managers can now track driver and passenger seatbelt usage, airbag deployment, ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) forward vehicle distance, hood status and door locks to ensure a safer working environment.

Beyond basic alerts, fleets receive specific tyre pressure readings and status indicators for every wheel, significantly improving fuel efficiency and safety.

The collaboration also marks a milestone for future-ready EV insights. For electric fleets, the solution tracks state of charge, charging states (AC/DC), and battery cell temperatures, allowing for optimised route planning based on ‘time to fully charged’ metrics.

This deep integration allows fleet managers to transition from reactive monitoring to proactive optimisation by leveraging high-resolution insights directly from Hyundai’s factory-fitted sensors.

The addition of Hyundai to Geotab’s OEM partner network strengthens the breadth of manufacturers European fleet operators can manage through a single platform.

Christoph Ludewig, vice president of OEM, EMEA at Geotab, said: “Our partnership with Hyundai provides our customers with instant access to high-quality vehicle data, from precision safety metrics to critical battery insights. By removing the barriers of hardware installation, we are helping fleets improve their operational efficiency and safety while simplifying the transition to an electrified future.”

The Geotab Integrated Solution for Hyundai is available across more than 40 European markets, including the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Norway, Sweden and Ireland, among others.
