3. Abstract
Fleet management (FM) is an ambiguous term used in reference to a wide range of solutions for
different vehicle-related applications. Berg Insights definition of a fleet management solution is a
vehicle-based system that incorporates data logging, satellite positioning and data communication
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
satellite and terrestrial wireless networks. Today, mobile networks can provide ubiquitous online
connectivity in many regions 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.
Commercial vehicle fleets play an essential role in the economy in both North and Latin America.
In North America, there are approximately 13.7 million GVW 3 8 commercial vehicles in use.
Around 18 million lighter vehicles including GVW 1 2 vehicles and cars with no GVW are also
owned by enterprises or public entities. In Latin America, the number of commercial vehicles in
operation is estimated to 26.7 million, out of which 5.9 million are heavy trucks and 20.8 million
are light commercial vehicles. Berg Insight is of the opinion that the market for fleet management
in the Americas is in a growth period which will continue in the years to come. The advanced
North American market will remain on a growth track, not the least driven by regulatory
developments such as the ELD mandate. Latin America has traditionally presented a very different
scenario, often requiring an educational process in order to extend the perception of fleet
management beyond security-related aspects. The Latin American fleet owners have however
also started to embrace functionality for optimisation of fleet operations to an increasing extent.
Regulatory developments in the region are expected to influence the uptake of fleet management
solutions positively by increasing the general awareness of telematics applications.
