Fleet safety is a critical aspect of protecting drivers, maximizing Return on Investment (ROI), and preserving brand image. Yet many commercial fleet operators lack the means to identify risky driving behaviors and quickly resolve issues. Trucks and buses are increasingly at the center of fatal road incidents in the United States, highlighting the need for cutting-edge technology that can help prevent road accidents.

Fleet managers in the United States contend with a variety of challenges that hinder profitability. Whether it’s rising fuel costs or new regulations, the right fleet management system addresses the most pressing issues. However, not all fleet management software provides the measurable Return on Investment (ROI) that organizations seek.

As fleet telematics systems evolve from basic vehicle tracking to comprehensive fleet intelligence platforms, selecting the right partner has become a strategic decision. The right telematics solution can reduce operating costs, increase safety, and enhance asset utilization, but only if it meets your operational needs and scales with your business.

ABI Research’s Supply Chain & Logistics team has compiled a report compiling various air cargo data. This information reveals key market dynamics, informing technology providers of promising business opportunities and air cargo logistics teams of notable trends.

Managing a cold chain requires precision, real-time data, and reliable technology to ensure that temperature-sensitive products—whether food, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals—are transported without compromising their integrity. As supply chain managers seek advanced cold chain monitoring solutions, understanding the critical innovation criteria is essential for making the right choice.

If you manage a supply chain of temperature-sensitive products, cold chain monitoring can help minimize spoilage/waste and boost customer satisfaction. Products like vaccines, biologics, fresh produce, frozen food, and dairy must be stored in cool temperatures throughout the entire supply chain, or they risk becoming unsellable. Every year, the biopharma industry loses about US$35 billion because of a failure to implement temperature-controlled logistics. Even worse, the lack of temperature monitoring greatly contributes to the US$1 trillion of food waste annually. Cold chain technologies like temperature sensors and software platforms can help you avoid spoilage and comply with safety regulations.

When ABI Research surveyed 1,800 fleet operators last year, the results indicated that 6 out of 10 businesses place fleet electrification as their near-term goal. Consequently, the number of commercial Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the road is forecast to grow from 171,000 in 2020 to approximately 3 million by the decade’s end. Today’s rapid transition to electrified fleets and Zero-Emissions Vehicles (ZEVs) is the result of several internal and external factors. This post covers six of the biggest market drivers for fleet electrification.
