The modern truck fleet could unlock huge efficiency gains by adopting connected vehicles and procedures. Once a fleet might only have monitored immediate data points such as vehicle GPS data, for instance, but an increase in sensor technology and cellular bandwidth is opening the door for more granular data management centred on maximising vehicle uptime.
