Installed Base of FM Systems to Reach 25 Million Units by 2026

Fleet management is an ambiguous term used in reference to a wide range of solutions for different vehicle-related applications. The analyst's definition of a fleet management solution is a vehicle-based system that incorporates data logging, satellite positioning and data communications 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 networks. Today mobile networks can provide ubiquitous online connectivity 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 European economy. According to official statistics there were 41.1 million commercial vehicles in use in EU22+3 in 2020. The 6.7 million medium and heavy trucks accounted for more than 75% of all inland transports, forming a €250 billion industry. Approximately 0.8 million buses and coaches stood for 9.3% of all passenger kilometres. The greater part of the 33.7 million light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe was used by mobile workers and for activities such as distribution of goods and parcels. Last but not least, there are an estimated 22.7 million passenger cars owned by companies and governments in EU27+3.

The analyst is of the opinion that the European fleet management market has entered a growth period that will last for several years to come. Individual markets may however suffer temporary setbacks, depending on the development of the general economy in the region and Ukraine crisis. The number of fleet management systems in active use is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13.6% from 13.2 million units at the end of 2021 to 25 million by 2026. The penetration rate in the total population of non-privately owned commercial vehicles and cars is estimated to increase from 20.8% in 2021 to 37.5% in 2026.

A group of international aftermarket solution providers have emerged as the leaders on the European fleet management market. The analyst ranks Webfleet as the largest vendor in Europe at the end of 2021 with 700,000 subscribers in the region, followed by Targa Telematics and Verizon Connect with 645,000 and 478,000 subscribers respectively. Transics is ranked as the largest player in the aftermarket heavy trucks segment with an estimated 190,000 active units installed. Other significant players include European companies such as ABAX, Bornemann, AddSecure Smart Transport, Michelin Connected Fleet, Gurtam, Radius Telematics, Viasat, GSGroup, Quartix, Océan (Orange), Microlise, Macnil, Eurowag Telematics, RAM Tracking and Coyote and international players like Trimble, Teletrac Navman, Inseego and Calamp from the US, Fleet Complete from Canada, Astrata Europe from Singapore and the South African telematics providers Cartrack and MiX Telematics.

All major truck manufacturers on the European market offer OEM telematics solutions as part of their product portfolio. A major trend in the past years has been the announcements of standard line fitment of fleet management solutions. Since the end of 2011, Scania is rolling out the Scania Communicator as standard on all European markets and includes a ten-year basic service subscription. All medium and heavy duty trucks from Daimler Truck contains the Fleetboard vehicle computer as standard and the buses are equipped with OMNIplus ON. Volvo offers Dynafleet as standard in Europe. New MAN trucks are now equipped with RIO as standard replacing MAN TeleMatics. DAF launched its new optional DAF Connect that has been developed in-house in 2016. The leading OEMs in Europe are Scania, Daimler and Volvo with 363,000, 156,000 and 145,000 active FM subscribers respectively at the end of 2021.

The consolidation trend continues and seven M&A activities have taken place in 2022 so far. Infobric Group acquired Total Car’s logbook and driver journal business. Zucchetti Group divested its share in Macnil back to the founders that now own 100%. The W.A.G. Payment Solutions (Eurowag) Group completed an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of WebEye. MiX Telematics acquired Trimble’s Field Service Management’s (FSM) business. ABAX acquired the fleet business of Connected Cars in Denmark. Main Capital Partners acquired a majority share in FleetGO and at the same time also Wanko. Finally, Eurowag announced the acquisition of INELO Group from Innova Capital. The transaction will expand Eurowag’s geographic footprint across 16 European markets and roughly double its base of telematics devices.
