What is GO Focus Plus and how does it work?

GO Focus Plus is a native AI dash cam solution designed and built by Geotab, running natively on the Geotab platform. It monitors both road and driver simultaneously using ADAS and DMS sensors, with real-time in-cab voice coaching triggered by risky behaviour detection. AI runs directly on the device for real-time risk identification.

What driving behaviours does GO Focus Plus detect?

GO Focus Plus detects risk from two directions. Road-facing ADAS sensors identify behaviours such as tailgating, rolling stops, swerving, lane departure, and speeding. Driver-facing DMS sensors detect in cabin behaviours such as phone use, distraction, drowsiness, eyes off road, and eating or drinking. Detection accuracy reaches up to 99%, maintaining driver trust through minimal false alerts.

What is Smart Sequence™ and how does it help fleet managers review events?

Smart Sequence™ consolidates flagged event assessment into a single view displaying video, asset, driver, speed,, and trigger — without opening separate screens. Clips auto-play on hover, and multiple risky behaviours in one trip display as a complete sequence. This eliminates time spent clicking between screens and piecing together fragmented information.

How does GO Focus Plus protect driver privacy?

Built-in controls within MyGeotab allow fleet managers to disable in-cabin cameras, blur faces and licence plates, and use physical camera covers. ‘Lens-as-a-sensor’ feature allows the detection of in-cabin DMS behaviours without the associated video footage being recorded. The GO Focus Plus Road variant uses proprietary Road DMS technology, generating driver behaviour insights exclusively from the road-facing sensor — no in-cabin camera involvement.

Key Insights

Rapid Fiscal Relief in a High-Cost Economy: In a market where diesel has hit over $3 per litre (March 2026), telematics has become a critical "inflation hedge." The report reveals that 100% of Utilities and 87% of small businesses reported a definitive reduction in total fleet costs, with the majority achieving a positive ROI in under 12 months.
The "Visual Shield" for Driver Protection: Safety has evolved into "preventative health," with 42% of Australian operators now using in-cab video. This technology is delivering massive results, such as an 83% reduction in driver fatigue in the Oil & Gas sector and allowing 71% of General Freight carriers to successfully exonerate drivers from false insurance claims.
AI Orchestration vs. The Last-Mile Bottleneck: AI is now the primary engine for operational sovereignty, with 67% of enterprise fleets achieving significant reductions in delivery times through dynamic scheduling. Beyond speed, AI is neutralising "unbillable latency," helping over half of small businesses directly reduce their fuel spend.

Strategic sovereignty in a "speed limit" economy

In an era where the Australian economy is growing above its sustainable "speed limit" and diesel prices have shattered records at over $3 per litre in March 2026, the ability to turn raw data into a strategic shield is no longer a luxury—it is a mandate for survival. Today, Geotab is proud to announce the launch of the inaugural Geotab Report 2026: Connected Fleets in Australia.

Based on a high-fidelity analysis of 517 Australian fleet managers and mobility experts, this report deciphers the "sector pulse" of a nation at a digital crossroads. From the high-stakes extraction environments of the Pilbara to the last-mile delivery bottlenecks of Sydney, the data is absolute: those who trade "daily chaos" for a data-led edge are the ones defining the future.

Navigating the 2026 pressure cooker

The Australian fleet landscape in 2026 is defined by a resurfacing inflation cycle and a relentless "tyranny of distance." With national average diesel prices surging, fleet management has moved from a tactical back-office function to a strategic survival mandate.

As Sean Killen, Senior Vice President of Global Markets at Geotab, notes:

"The modern Australian fleet is no longer just a collection of vehicles; it is a high-speed data ecosystem... where digital intelligence is the primary engine for operational sovereignty."

Key findings: the power of the Australian connected fleet pulse

1. The fiscal relief valve: rapid ROI

In an "overheated" budget environment, precision telematics is the fastest cooling agent. The report reveals a profound trend in capital recovery:

Utilities and Government sectors are leading the charge, with 63% and 61% of agencies (respectively) achieving a positive ROI in under 12 months.
100% of Utilities businesses reported a definitive reduction in total fleet costs after implementation.
Even for small businesses (SMBs), where margins are thinnest, 87% reported a definitive reduction in total fleet costs—the highest of any fleet size.

2. The visual shield: A moral and strategic mandate

Safety in 2026 has moved beyond simple tracking to "preventative health." With 42% of Australian operators now integrating in-cab video, the "Visual Shield" is protecting the industry's most valuable asset: the driver.

83% of Oil & Gas enterprises utilised video to reduce driver fatigue by up to 60%.
71% of General Freight carriers successfully utilised high-definition evidence to exonerate drivers from false insurance claims.
Across all sectors, 65% of industries reported a measurable improvement in overall driver safety.

3. AI orchestration: collapsing the last-mile bottleneck

The transition from legacy GPS to AI-powered orchestration is the line between profit and loss in 2026.

67% of enterprise fleets achieved a significant reduction in last-mile delivery times through AI-driven dynamic scheduling.
71% of mid-sized businesses improved on-time delivery rates, effectively neutralising urban congestion.
AI isn't just about speed; it's about the bottom line. 51% of small businesses used AI to reduce fuel costs by neutralising "unbillable latency."

Beyond the driver’s seat: HVNL and compliance

For Australian heavy vehicle operators, compliance is existential. With Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and Chain of Responsibility (CoR), telematics has become key mechanisms for meeting NHVR obligations. The report highlights that 58% of SMBs and 54% of Enterprises now rely on digital tools to master regulatory compliance and protect the boardroom from legal liability.

Industry Spotlights: Driving Tangible Results

Construction: 86% utilise GPS tracking to synchronise heavy machinery with crew schedules, cutting "ghost hours."
General Freight: 80% categorise tracking as "mission-critical" to navigate the volatility of modern freight corridors.
Oil, Gas & Mining: 80% use the "Connected Pulse" to ensure operational continuity in the world’s most challenging remote environments.
Government: 90% achieved a reduction in fleet costs, proving fiduciary responsibility to the Australian taxpayer.

Download the roadmap to strategic sovereignty

The gap between traditional hauling and tech-first logistics is widening. Whether you manage an agile local trade business or a sprawling multi-national enterprise, the Geotab Report 2026: Connected Fleets in Australia is your roadmap to turning raw telematics into a formidable asset.
