What Is Fleet Telematics?
Fleet telematics combines telecommunications and informatics to collect, transmit, and analyze data from vehicles and assets. Using sensors, GPS, and onboard diagnostics (OBD), telematics devices continuously gather data such as vehicle location, speed, acceleration, idling behavior, fuel consumption, diagnostic trouble codes, tire pressure, battery voltage, and driver safety metrics.
This data is transmitted over cellular or NTN IoT networks to centralized cloud platforms, where it is aggregated, analyzed, and visualized. Fleet managers can then make real-time, data-driven decisions to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Fleet Telematics Market Insights
The global fleet telematics industry is growing rapidly as digitalization, sustainability, and compliance requirements drive adoption across industries. The commercial vehicle telematics market was valued at USD 61.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 130 billion by 2030, reflecting a 13.8% CAGR.
Globally, 83% of fleet operators already use telematics, increasing to 93% for fleets with more than 50 vehicles. The installed base surpassed 100 million systems in 2022, with the highest adoption rates seen in logistics, government, and construction sectors.
The video telematics segment is also expanding quickly and is expected to reach 17 million active installations by 2029, driven by 4G- and 5G-enabled safety applications.
As 2G and 3G networks are being phased out, the connectivity landscape across Europe is evolving. In Norway, 2G will be phased out regionally starting in August 2025, while in Sweden, 3G networks will close by the end of 2025 and 2G will be retired between 2025 and 2027, depending on the operator.
This shift positions LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 4G/5G as the foundation of future fleet telematics. Com4’s IoT SIM and eSIM solutions are fully compliant with GSMA SGP.32 (IoT eSIM), ensuring long-term scalability and lifecycle management through remote provisioning and profile switching.
How IoT Connectivity Powers Fleet Telematics
Fleet telematics depends on reliable, secure, and high-performance connectivity. Com4’s IoT architecture is engineered to support mission-critical fleet operations, combining terrestrial and non-terrestrial technologies for uninterrupted communication.

On land, Com4’s multi-network SIMs and eSIMs ensure dynamic roaming between multiple operators for continuous coverage. When terrestrial networks are unavailable, NTN connectivity bridges the gap, providing global reach for critical tracking and communication functions.
Overcoming Fleet Connectivity Challenges
Fleets often operate across countries and coverage zones. Com4’s multi-IMSI and eUICC-based solutions automatically select the strongest available network, ensuring consistent data delivery and eliminating the need for manual SIM swaps.
Applications such as in-cab video monitoring, live diagnostics, and AI-assisted safety analytics require low latency and stable throughput. Com4’s 5G-ready IoT connectivity provides the bandwidth and responsiveness required for high-frequency data transmission.
Fleet telematics systems also face increasing exposure to security threats such as SIM tampering and data interception. Com4 mitigates these risks through private APNs, encrypted VPN tunnels, real-time SIM behavior analytics, and remote access control policies.
Optimizing Business Performance with Fleet Telematics
By integrating IoT and telematics analytics, fleet managers gain an operational command center capable of transforming performance across multiple KPIs. Real-time data enables dynamic route optimization, predictive maintenance, driver safety monitoring, improved fuel efficiency, and automated compliance reporting.
A study by Grand View Research shows that fleets implementing full telematics platforms reduce total operational costs by 10–15% and unplanned downtime by up to 20% within the first year.
