"Efficiency, cost reduction and safety are top priorities for 2026; GPS tracking has hit an all-time high; fleet technology is now a competitive advantage; and above all, AI is already redefining fleet safety, moving from an emerging capability to a core fleet tool."
"Two-thirds (66%) of fleet professionals say increasing efficiency and productivity is their number one priority for 2026, followed by reducing operational costs (62%) and enhancing driver safety (52%). Four-fifths of fleet professionals now use GPS fleet tracking - marking an 11-point jump year-over-year, and the highest adoption rate in the report's six-year history."
"Just under three-quarters of video telematics users indicate that AI has improved driver safety and is helping to detect behaviours such as fatigue, with AI-powered behaviour-detection and real-time coaching. This is driving a 48% reduction in accident-related costs."
Fleet organizations are undergoing significant technological transformation driven by AI, connected data, and safety-focused services. The 2026 Fleet technology trends report surveyed nearly 900 fleet professionals across multiple sectors to benchmark technology adoption and priorities. Key priorities for 2026 include increasing efficiency and productivity (66%), reducing operational costs (62%), and enhancing driver safety (52%). GPS fleet tracking adoption has reached 80%, marking an 11-point year-over-year increase and the highest adoption rate in the report's six-year history. AI adoption is accelerating, with video AI reaching 46% adoption since 2023. Video telematics users report that AI has improved driver safety through fatigue detection and real-time coaching, resulting in 48% reductions in accident-related costs. Fleet technology has become a competitive advantage, with GPS tracking users reporting 44% productivity improvements and asset tracking users achieving 53% better equipment utilization.
