The installed base of FM systems to reach 26.5 million units by 2027

Fleet management is an ambiguous term used in reference to a wide range of solutions for different vehicle-related applications. The definition of a fleet management solution is a vehicle-based system that incorporates data logging, satellite positioning and data communications to a backoffice application. The history of fleet management solutions goes back several decades. On-board vehicle computers first emerged in the 1980s and were soon connected to various networks. Today mobile networks can provide ubiquitous online connectivity at a reasonable cost and mobile computing technology delivers very high performance, as well as excellent usability. All of these components combined enable the delivery of vehicle management, transport management, driver management and mobile workforce management applications linking vehicles and enterprise IT systems.

The installed base of FM systems to reach 27.6 million units by 2028

Commercial vehicle fleets play an essential role in the European economy. According to official statistics there were 44.8 million commercial vehicles in use in EU25+3 in 2022. The 7.4 million medium and heavy trucks accounted for more than 75 percent of all inland transports, forming a € 250 billion industry. Approximately 0.8 million buses and coaches stood for 9.3 percent of all passenger kilometres. The greater part of the 36.6 million light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe was used by mobile workers and for activities such as distribution of goods and parcels. Last but not least, there are an estimated 23.4 million passenger cars owned by companies and governments in EU27+3.

The analyzer forecasts that the European fleet management market has entered a growth period that will last for several years to come. Individual markets may however suffer temporary setbacks, depending on the development of the general economy in the region and Ukraine crisis. The number of fleet management systems in active use is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.1 percent from 16.3 million units at the end of 2023 to 27.6 million by 2028.

The penetration rate in the total population of non-privately owned commercial vehicles and cars is estimated to increase from 23.9 percent in 2023 to 38.5 percent in 2028. The top-39 vendors have today more than 100,000 active units in Europe. A group of international aftermarket solution providers have emerged as the leaders on the European fleet management market. The analyzer ranks Targa Telematics as the largest vendor in Europe at the end of 2023 with 801,000 subscribers in the region, followed by Webfleet and Verizon Connect with 735,000 and 500,000 subscribers respectively. AddSecure Smart Transport is ranked as the largest player in the aftermarket heavy trucks segment with an estimated 270,000 active units installed.

Other significant players include European companies such as Radius Telematics, ABAX, Microlise, Bornemann, SCALAR by ZF, MICHELIN Connected Fleet, Gurtam, Eurowag Telematics, GSFleet, Quartix, Océan (Orange), Linqo, Macnil, RAM Tracking, AROBS Transilvania Software, Shiftmove, Optimum Automotive, Infobric Fleet and Mapon and international players like Trimble, Teletrac Navman, Inseego and Calamp from the US, Fleet Complete and Geotab from Canada and the South African telematics providers Cartrack and MiX Telematics.

All major truck manufacturers on the European market offer OEM telematics solutions as part of their product portfolio. A major trend in the past years has been the announcements of standard line fitment of fleet management solutions. Since the end of 2011, Scania is rolling out the Scania Communicator as standard on all European markets and includes a ten-year basic service subscription. All medium and heavy duty trucks from Daimler Truck contains the Fleetboard vehicle computer as standard and the buses are equipped with OMNIplus ON. Volvo offers Volvo Connect as standard in Europe. New MAN trucks are now equipped with RIO as standard. DAF launched its new PACCAR Connect as standard in 2024 and includes 10 years of connectivity. The leading OEMs in Europe are Scania, Volvo Group, MAN and Daimler with 418,000, 260,000, 205,000 and 170,000 active FM subscribers respectively at the end of 2023.
