VEHICLE TRACKING.

Fleet tracking uses GPS to monitor vehicles and drivers in real time. Information such as location, speed, and route details is transmitted to a secure, cloud-based system. This data is then displayed on a centralised dashboard, allowing managers to view live activity, review performance, and produce detailed reports.

GPS fleet tracking offers a lot more than basic location updates. It improves overall efficiency by highlighting driving patterns that affect fuel consumption, safety, and operating costs. Continuous visibility also lowers the chance and impact of vehicle theft. In addition, accurate tracking makes it easier to provide reliable ETAs to customers while ensuring compliance with driver hours regulations.

Yes, fleet tracking is legal, provided it is carried out responsibly. Businesses must comply with the Data Protection Act and GDPR, which means being transparent with drivers about how, when, and why tracking takes place. When introduced correctly, employees will understand that tracking is intended to increase safety, security, and efficiency, rather than reduce privacy.

GPS fleet tracking simply locates vehicles in real time, while telematics combines location data with details such as fuel usage, vehicle condition, and driver behaviour. At MICHELIN Connected Fleet, our vehicle tracking system integrates telematics to offer more comprehensive fleet performance insights.
