A recent study by Arval Mobility Observatory’s 2019 Barometer shows that engineers & salespeople top the list of drivers using telematics.

The 2019 study of almost 4,000 businesses, covered various questions about fleet and mobility trends.

The study’s results showed that engineers (54%), salespeople (30%), perk car drivers (28%) and delivery drivers (28%) had telematics equipment fitted to their vehicles.

The research also showed that unsurprisingly telematics adoption was higher in larger organisations

Despite falling costs and easier than ever implementation there is still an obvious disconnect between SME’s and telematics.

A total of 47% of businesses with more than 1,000 employees are using telematics, compared to 45% of 100-999 employees, 39% of 10-99 employees and just 3% with fewer than 10 employees.

The Arval Mobility Observatory research concluded by looking at differences between company car and LCVs in why businesses adopted telematics but found few.

The top three responses were to locate vehicles (car 49%, LCV 56%), to improve driver behaviour (car 41%, LCV 44%) and to improve driver safety (car 33%, LCV 35%).

The study suggests that this technology provides benefits whatever vehicle it is implemented within.
