The latest from Targa Telematics for you;
The use of Artificial Intelligence is set to increase significantly among fleet managers and mobility operators, according to new research conducted by the Fleet Management Watch of Targa Telematics, one of the world’s leading players in AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) for the development of digital solutions and platforms for connected mobility, in collaboration with the Connected Vehicle & Mobility Observatory of Politecnico di Milano School of Management.
In a study dedicated to the Italian market, 73% of fleet managers said they are considering and currently assessing the implementation of AI-based solutions within their fleet management operations, while only 23% ruled out this possibility in the near future.
Predictive maintenance (38%), anomaly detection (24%), predictive analytics dashboards (19%) and consumption analysis and optimisation (14%) emerged as the most important areas for AI integration. The Politecnico di Milano research also examined vehicle users’ perceptions of the benefits of telematics, with 46% of respondents highlighting ease of use and 23% focusing on features such as operational support and assistance.
Targa Telematics’ Fleet Management Watch leverages analysis drawn from fleet and mobility managers participating in the Osservatorio Top Thousand and Osservatorio Top Hundred – permanent observatories established in Italy with the aim of monitoring key mobility themes. Open to companies operating over 1,000 vehicles and up to 999 vehicles respectively, the observatories manage together nearly 60,000 vehicles across different types of fleets, including corporate, operational, commercial and field service fleets.
“Artificial Intelligence represents the main driver of evolution in fleet management, as it unlocks a truly proactive approach centred on early identification of potential issues and enhanced support to decision-making,” said Michele Cipullo, Go To Market Manager at Targa Telematics. “Data from the Top Thousand and Top Hundred observatories confirms that the market is ready to fully embrace AI. We are no longer at the experimentation stage, but rather rapidly advancing along the adoption journey.”
“Artificial Intelligence is the next frontier in fleet management across every market, and the UK is no exception. From enhancing fuel efficiency, a crucial priority at a time of economic uncertainty, and optimising routes to improving driving behaviour and reducing incidents, AI is having a transformative impact on the sector”, said Chris Horbowyj, UK Commercial Director at Targa Telematics. “Vehicle misuse prevention is yet another area where AI has already left its mark. Recent research from Targa Telematics Observatory showed that recovery rates may exceed 90% for operators capable of harnessing Agentic AI. Indeed, AI has redefined our ability to leverage data and turn it into actionable insights that take performance, safety and sustainability standards to new heights.”
