Telematics to Shape Greener Transport Futures

With new technology emerging every day,

Australia has the opportunity to bring fuel efficiency up to standard with the rest of the world. New cars here use 40 % more fuel than those in the EU, 20 % more than in the US, and 15 % more than in New Zealand. Transport accounts for about 19 % of the nation’ s greenhouse gas emissions and is projected to become the largest source by 2030.
However, the government is introducing fuel efficiency standards and a plan to accelerate the rollout of EVs nationally. State and federal governments are working to reduce emissions across their own fleets, and many businesses are too.
This shift brings opportunities for fleet managers where running an efficient fleet is both environmentally and financially beneficial. Telematics makes this easier by offering real-time data and insights that drive decisions around fuel use and the transition to EV fleets.
Telematics gives managers visibility over fuel use, driver habits, maintenance schedules, and route planning. Reducing idling, improving routing, and tracking vehicle performance all contribute to lowering emissions and cutting costs. For example, Geotab’ s Sustainability Center empowers fleet managers to monitor, report and take action on key metrics like fuel and emissions, idling trends and electrification potential. This helps businesses demonstrate environmental improvements to stakeholders and regulators.
As EV adoption increases, telematics also supports fleet electrification. Managers can use data to identify older, inefficient vehicles ready for replacement and assess which EV models provide the best value and environmental benefits. Geotab’ s Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment compares fleet data with EV specifications in each market, helping guide the transition. After integration, telematics continues to support range management, remote diagnostics, and real-time maintenance alerts.
Telematics sits at the heart of modern fleet operations. With tools like those offered by Geotab, businesses can improve sustainability, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce operating costs— all while contributing to a greener transport future.
