It’s a busy week for telematics company Geotab, who has unveiled the expansion of its connected vehicle platform via the Geotab Sustainability Centre and EV charge monitoring system.
The sustainability centre will empower fleet managers to monitor, report and take action on key metrics such as fuel and emissions, idling trends and electrification potential, all within a single, centralised platform to improve efficiency and cost while reducing environmental impact.
As business costs continue to rise, organisations are increasingly using data insights to improve efficiency and build resilience. Geotab designed the Sustainability Centre to fill the data gap, providing management and sustainability teams a go-to hub for cost control, compliance and operations.

“Even small changes like monitoring idling can have a big impact on operations. The Geotab Sustainability Centre empowers fleets with precise data insights to take actions that translate into lower costs while supporting their environmental goals,” Geotab senior group product manager Megan Allen says.
The Geotab Sustainability Centre includes a streamlined dashboard to help companies maximise fuel savings, reduce carbon emissions and simplify compliance. This new hub complements the existing centre in MyGeotab™ in the Geotab Safety Centre and Geotab Maintenance Centre.
Key features include:
- Idling trends: Understand idling time, fuel wasted and identify idling hotspots
- Fuel metrics: Assess total fuel and EV energy use, as well as fuel and EV energy economy
- Emissions trends: Track the effectiveness of emissions reduction strategies, such as anti-idling campaigns and electrification
- Electrification insights: Get a snapshot of how many vehicles in the fleet are best fit for replacement with EVs
Geotab also recently introduced a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report with a TÜV Rheinland certified calculation method for tracking Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fleet vehicles, providing near real-time emissions data for accurate and transparent climate disclosures related to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other frameworks.
To help fleets avoid costly disruptions to fleet operations, Geotab introduced EV Charge Monitoring, for live monitoring of fleet charge status to ensure EVs are charged and ready to go when needed. With Geotab EV Charge Monitoring, fleets can identify and resolve charging issues early, maximise uptime, and realise the fuel cost saving and operational benefits of electrification.
With EV Charge Monitoring, fleets can:
- Identify and resolve charging problems before they disrupt operations
- Manage a queue of vehicles waiting to charge, even when there is a limited number of available stations
- Make informed dispatch decisions by knowing when EVs will be ready
- Realise the fuel cost savings related to getting EVs on the road
The Geotab Sustainability Centre and EV Charge Monitoring are integrated in MyGeotab, trusted by organisations in both the public and private sector for end-to-end telematics data security.
