December - 20206 logisticstechoutlook.comLinda James Managing Editoreditor@logisticstechoutlook.comThe fleet management industry is confronting considerable changes in 2020. A significant driver of this advancement is the constant demand to enhance operational ability to ramp up delivery times and stimulate more business. Solutions and trends involving the leap to the 5G network, telematics and tracking, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), automation, and cybersecurity are performing a major role in minimizing operational costs for fleet managers and owners.As we initiate putting out 3G networks, cars, trucks, smartphones, and smart devices are looking forward to jumping into 5G ­ the latest generation of the mobile network. Although there are no publicly launched 5G networks yet, it seems like 5G will be an essential tech innovation for the fleet management industry. Regarding telematics and tracking, several GPS tracking devices can determine a driver's real-time location, driving schedule, driver journey, and can even support drivers maintain safe driving practices. 2020 will be the year where more significant technological developments arise. Enhancements in telematics and tracking can transform the way organizations deliver and transport their goods. Also, telematics and tracking enabled ride-sharing will become usual in the personal transportation industry. Several organizations in the commercial transportation industry are currently starting to trial mobility-as-a-service for their fleet of trucks. As MaaS grows in strength, fleet managers will have the capability to personalize their services. Fleet owners and managers may also try on with company-owned vehicles and even rent or lease other vehicles. Besides, MaaS will counter the traditional approach, compelling fleet owners and managers to review their processes in fleet management. There is also an increasing number of fleets excited about electric vehicles (EV). Plans for EV adoption are gradually accelerating as the technology is becoming more reasonable. Both executives and fleet managers observe various advantages to EV adoption, starting from minimized carbon emissions to enhancing their fleet's bottom line. Further, electric vehicles are good for the environment, and industry professionals are fascinated by a decrease in repairs and the removal of fuel costs.In this edition of Logistics Tech Outlook, we bring to you some of the leading companies that have excelled through innovation in providing promising fleet management solutions.
