Connected vehicle solutions business Geotab has launched an integrated solution for Hyundai vehicles across Europe.

By leveraging OEM-embedded telematics already built into supported Hyundai models, data is transmitted to the MyGeotab platform without the need to retrofit any additional hardware.

This integrated approach aims to offer a cost advantage by eliminating aftermarket equipment and installation expenses.

The collaboration was designed to allow fleets to manage their entire portfolio of Hyundai vehicles – including internal combustion engines (ICE) and electric vehicles (EV) – within a single environment.

By combining native vehicle data with Geotab’s advanced analytics, managers of mixed fleets gain a consolidated view of their operations to drive more informed business decisions.

Geotab said the advantages for fleet managers are proactive maintenance and uptime, near real-time GPS, precision safety management, comprehensive tyre intelligence, and future-ready EV insights.

Proactive maintenance and uptime monitors engine health, including oil pressure, coolant temperatures, and specific DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) status, and aims to prevent costly breakdowns.

Near real-time GPS means that newer Hyundai vehicles will be able to transmit GPS data every 10 seconds, and older vehicles will send data at ignition on and off.

Precision safety management allows managers to track driver and passenger seatbelt usage, airbag deployment, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) forward vehicle distance, hood status and door locks to ensure a safer working environment.

Comprehensive tyre intelligence gives fleets specific tyre pressure readings and status indicators for every wheel, to improve fuel efficiency and safety.

EV insights give electric fleets a solution which tracks state of charge, charging states (AC/DC), and battery cell temperatures, to allow for optimised route planning based on ‘time to fully charged’ metrics.

This integration was designed to allow fleet managers to transition from reactive monitoring to proactive optimisation by leveraging high-resolution insights directly from Hyundai’s factory-fitted sensors.

Christoph Ludewig, vice president of OEM, EMEA at Geotab, said: “Adding Hyundai to our OEM partner network strengthens the breadth of manufacturers European fleet operators can manage through a single platform.

“Our partnership with Hyundai provides our customers with instant access to high-quality vehicle data, from precision safety metrics to critical battery insights.

“By removing the barriers of hardware installation, we are helping fleets improve their operational efficiency and safety while simplifying the transition to an electrified future.”

Marcus Welz, CEO at Hyundai Connected Mobility, added: “Our collaboration with Geotab brings Hyundai fleets a seamless, hardware-free telematics experience that turns factory-fitted data services and connectivity into tangible value.

“From 10-second GPS to predictive maintenance and deep EV insights, operators gain a clearer, faster and more actionable view of their vehicles — all activated remotely and ready to scale.”
