“Savvy businesses and fleet owners, getting
the jump on their competition, are making the
most of a partnership with Euclidic Systems. By
installing the Euclidic telematics system, for the
equivalent cost of a few litres of fuel a day, there
can be an overall saving of 10 to 15 per cent on
fuel costs alone.
“One of the features included is Data-as-a-
Service (DaaS), to increase driver accountability
and reduce running costs, while helping the
environment. Above all else, is the incalculable
worth of improved driver, passengers and public
safety,” added Chris.

Employers should have business practices,
training, procedures and review processes in
place. Regulators can only do so much. Under
Heavy Vehicle National Law, an employer’s
obligation is ‘to eliminate or minimise potential
harm or loss by doing all that is reasonably
practicable to ensure safety’. Under Work Health
and Safety laws, which cover light commercial
vehicles, the aim is to ‘secure the health and
safety of workers and workplaces’.
Regulators provide a framework and step in only
after an incident. Their mandate doesn’t cover
commercial outcomes, the customer experience
or environmental impacts.
Euclidic Systems was founded in 2015 through
start-up business Plantcom. Today, Euclidic has a
technology partnership with its strategic investor
partner, Intelematics Australia, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Royal Automobile Club Victoria
(RACV).
The company may be new, but it’s made up
of seasoned veterans, who have all been at
the forefront of vehicle-tracking systems since
their emergence in the late 1990s. Euclidic has
developed proprietary technology that streams
and analyses telematics data for on-road and off-

Regional Economics, July 2016:
Heavy truck safety: crash analysis and trends: Heavy
trucks are disproportionately involved in casualty crashes:
approximately 16 per cent of road crash fatalities and
4 per cent of injuries involve these vehicles. In general,
involvement of a heavy truck is associated with more
severe injury outcomes.
Founded in 2015 by Mark Ronalds as
Plantcom, Euclidic systems is a telematics-
driven solution for the management of
fleets, commercial and heavy vehicles as
well as off-road assets. Euclidic develops
proprietary technology, Data as a Service
