Take control of your fleet fuel costs. October 18, 2026 12:00 AM, EDT Every gallon affects a carrier's margin. Some fuel pays for productive miles; some is lost to high prices, unauthorized purchases, inefficient stops or records that arrive too late to help the team act and protect margins on the next trip. Fuel is one of the few costs that follows a truck everywhere. When diesel prices rise, the impact shows up quickly. When a load is priced weeks earlier, there may be little room left to absorb it. A few cents at the pump can change the economics of a route, especially when a fleet is running on tight margins. The harder problem is finding the waste. A transaction may look perfectly normal until someone compares it with the truck's location, its tank level or the driver's schedule. A driver may choose the nearest station because the next delivery is already running late. Small exceptions add up, but they are easy to miss when the review happens at the end of the month. The work of sorting it out often falls between departments. Fuel activity may live in one system, vehicle location in another and mileage records somewhere else. Finance teams then spend hours matching transactions to trips and preparing IFTA reports. Operations teams are left with information about what happened, rather than enough context to decide what to do next. That gap matters when a fleet is growing or routes cross state lines. A process that works for a handful of trucks can become a burden as transaction volume increases and more people need the answer. Drivers feel the friction too. They need to find fuel without losing time, and they need a card that works when they are far from the terminal. A control that looks straightforward in an office can feel very different from the cab, where traffic, weather and delivery windows shape every stop. The Geotab Fuel Card connects payment activity with vehicle and trip data in MyGeotab. Location and tank-level information can help identify transactions that do not fit the vehicle's circumstances, while participating station locations and pricing are available through the Geotab Drive app. Fleet teams can review fuel activity alongside the operational information they already use. Geotab will bring this conversation to the 2026 ATA Management Conference & Exhibition, October 17-20 in Charlotte, North Carolina. MCE is a chance for trucking leaders to compare notes on the pressures affecting their businesses and the changes they are making in response. On Sunday, October 18, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. in Room W209DEF, Geotab leaders and industry experts will join "Stop the Leak: Reducing Fuel Waste Across Your Fleet." The session will look at how fuel waste develops, why traditional programs can uncover losses too late and what better-connected data can contribute. If fuel decisions are still being made from a monthly statement, the conversation is worth having. Join Geotab at ATA MCE to talk about the realities of fuel management and ways to give fleet, finance and driving teams better information before the next stop.

Geotab selected by AutoTech Breakthrough as 2026 "In-Cabin Intelligence Company of the Year" for GO Focus AI dash cams. Annual Awards program recognizes breakthrough innovation in automotive & transportation technologies around the globe. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - AutoTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global automotive and transportation technology markets today announced that Geotab, a global leader in connected operations, video telematics and AI-powered insights, has been named "In-Cabin Intelligence Company of the Year" in the 7th annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program. The award recognizes Geotab's GO Focus(TM) family of AI dash cams for their proactive approach to driver safety. Edge AI analyzes driver behavior in real time, to detect distracted driving, drowsiness, phone use, tailgating and stop sign violations. Computer vision AI with up to 99% accuracy means the fleet managers review real risks, not noise. In-cabin intelligence flows directly into the operational workflow in one platform. If the system detects a high-risk behavior, the driver receives voice coaching to allow self-correction in the moment. Drivers can also initiate event capture and upload video footage to assist with driver exoneration. GO Focus provides privacy-conscious options including a road-facing only camera variant and "Lens-as-a-Sensor" mode which detects events without retaining video, for contexts where any footage retention is restricted. "The safest fleet is one where accidents don't happen. Geotab's Video Coaching powered by GO Focus AI Dash Cams makes that possible - helping organizations protect drivers, reduce risk and create safer roads," said Sabina Martin, Vice President, Product Management at Geotab. "This award from AutoTech Breakthrough validates the industry shift from reactive reporting to proactive risk management for driver safety and exoneration." The transportation technology sector is rapidly redefining the way people and goods move, transforming one of the world's largest and most vital industries. From autonomous driving technologies and advanced driver-assistance systems to connected vehicle platforms, electrification, and sustainable mobility solutions, transportation technology is delivering greater safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility. The mission of the annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators transforming the global automotive and mobility landscape with breakthrough technology. The program conducts a comprehensive analysis of the companies redefining how vehicles are designed, manufactured, driven and maintained. From autonomous driving platforms and connected vehicle software to AI-driven safety systems, IoT-based fleet and telematics monitoring, and next-generation electrification and battery innovations, these innovations are enabling automotive companies to operate more efficiently, deliver safer and smarter transportation, and shape the future of how the world moves. "Geotab GO Focus brings actionable intelligence right into the cab, to help drivers prevent risk in the moment when it counts. The in-cabin camera category is expanding quickly, but most solutions offer limited camera and review options," said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AutoTech Breakthrough. "Geotab's GO Focus family processes video on the device, using real-time, two-pass AI to detect and re-evaluate risk events, reducing alert noise and surfacing the most critical events for fleet managers. We're awarding Geotab with 'In-Cabin Intelligence Company of the Year.'"
