Autocar to Install Geotab GO Devices in Every Truck to Improve Fleet Uptime and Data Insights

Atlanta, GA (April 2, 2024) – Geotab USA Inc. (“Geotab”), a global leader in connected vehicle and asset solutions today announced a strategic partnership with Autocar, a leading manufacturer of custom-engineered vocational trucks, to provide factory-installed Geotab GO devices in all Autocar vehicles. Under this agreement, Autocar will install Geotab GO devices directly on the factory line in every internal combustion engine (ICE) truck they produce. 

By embedding Geotab’s GO devices into its vehicles, Autocar will gain access to near real-time, enterprise-grade telematics data to enhance its in-house production, warranty, and service platforms, including its proprietary “Always Up” systems. This will allow Autocar to proactively monitor vehicle health, streamline maintenance, and maximize fleet uptime for its customers. 

Additionally, fleets operating Autocar trucks will benefit from seamless connectivity. Instead of needing to install aftermarket GO devices, Geotab-enabled Autocar trucks will soon be available with an integrated OEM solution.

“In today’s competitive landscape, easy access to high-quality data is essential. That is why Geotab is committed to removing barriers and delivering the insights fleets need to operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently,” said James McDermott, Senior Solution Partnerships Manager at Geotab. “This partnership with Autocar is a powerful step forward. By equipping every Autocar truck with Geotab’s industry-leading telematics, we’re ensuring fleet operators have easy access to the critical data they need to maximize uptime and performance.”

“This collaboration with Geotab allows us to provide proactive monitoring of truck performance so that we can provide direct OEM support to our customers,” said Eric Schwartz, President at Autocar. “By embedding Geotab’s industry leading telematics solution into our factory production line, coupled with our continued investments in sophisticated field data analytics, we are further strengthening our commitment to delivering ‘Always Up’ performance and expanding on our direct-to-customer service model that has been a cornerstone of our success.”
