USA / Canada – At the Advanced Clean Technology expo in Las Vegas last month, Rivian Automotive Inc of Irvine, California and Canadian telematics specialist, Geotab Inc of Ontario, announced a fleet telematics agreement in North America. Geotab will integrate Rivian’s fleet telematics data into the MyGeotab platform, enabling fleet managers to more accurately optimise fleet performance and plan routes. Fleets will further benefit in terms of compliance, safety and ultimately productivity, helping owners reduce costs and maximise vehicle uptime.

Rob Minton, Associate Vice President of Connected Development at Geotab said: “Access to advanced data analytics and AI is rapidly advancing the world of connected transportation with positive benefits to the bottom line, safety, performance and sustainability. You hear a lot about the coming of the software defined vehicle. The combination of Rivian’s rich sensor data capabilities accessed via the Geotab platform makes it a reality. Not only are fleets getting a technology-rich electric commercial vehicle, the Geotab and Rivian collaboration will supply fleets with a connected solution that is simple to activate, cost-effective and will help fleet managers better manage their fleets through real, quality data insights.”
