The challenge

Teletrac Navman wants to strengthen its position as a global authority in fleet and equipment management.

To do this, they need robust, data-driven insight into:

• Operational efficiency and cost pressures
• Fleet safety and risk management
• Equipment utilisation and asset performance

The goal isn’t just to generate data, but to create a compelling thought leadership platform to engage customers, support marketing and inform strategy.

The approach

Arlington Research helped design and deliver a multi-wave global research programme including three recent flagship reports:

• 2025 Equipment Management Edition
• 2026 Risk & Exoneration Edition
• 2026 Equipment Utilization Edition

We surveyed over 1,800 fleet and equipment operators across the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand, with each report focused on a critical industry theme, allowing Teletrac Navman to build a connected narrative over time, rather than a one-off study.

The insight 

Operational inefficiency is a universal challenge

93% of equipment operators report issues impacting operational efficiency, with maintenance and cost control leading concerns.

Visibility gaps are holding fleets back

35% of businesses say a quarter or more of their on-road assets are unavailable due to unknown location.

Technology adoption is widespread, but fragmented

While 99% of equipment operators use at least one technology solution, integration remains a major barrier to unlocking value.

Safety technology in fleets is delivering measurable ROI

• 70% report faster claims processing
• 53% have exonerated a driver in the past year

Utilisation is the biggest untapped opportunity

Up to 47% of equipment sits underutilised, highlighting significant inefficiencies in equipment operations.

The impact

• A scalable thought leadership platform. The Mobilizing the Future of Fleets series has become a cornerstone of Teletrac Navman’s content strategy, delivering consistent, insight-led engagement across global markets.
• Stronger market positioning. The research reinforces Teletrac Navman’s role as a strategic partner, not just a technology provider, helping customers navigate complex operational challenges.
• Commercially relevant insights. By focusing on real-world issues like cost, safety and utilisation, the reports provide practical value for fleet operators, supporting both lead generation and customer retention.
• A long-term narrative. Rather than a single campaign, the research and reports build an ongoing story about the future of fleet management – linking efficiency, safety and performance into one cohesive vision.

As fleet operations become more complex, the need for integrated, data-driven decision-making will only grow.

Through this ongoing partnership, Teletrac Navman is well positioned to continue leading the conversation, backed by credible, global research.
