Geotab and Mercedes-Benz USA have launched an integrated telematics solution for fleet operators with access to real-time vehicle data directly from Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles. The announcement, made at the recent 2025 Geotab Connect conference in Las Vegas, said that fleet managers will now have key performance metrics—including GPS location, vehicle health, engine diagnostics and fuel efficiency.
By leveraging embedded telematics already built into Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the system allows for faster onboarding, greater data accuracy and a more streamlined fleet management experience, the company said.
Mercedes-Benz vans equipped with factory-installed telematics will now be compatible with the Geotab platform, allowing users to analyze vehicle and driver data through a single unified interface. “This year, we found that the average fleet includes vehicles from 13 different manufacturers. This can make fleet data management extremely complex,” said Rob Minton, associate vice president of connected car business development at Geotab, in a statement.
The integration reflects a broader industry trend toward embedded connectivity, especially as fleet operators face rising pressure to improve efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and meet regulatory compliance standards, the company said. The integrated solution is expected to be available for model year 2023 and newer vehicles in the U.S. later this year.
