The acquisition boosts Geotab’s presence in the EV sector.

Also based in Canada and operating globally, FleetCarma was founded in 2007 to assist fleets with switching to electric vehicles through the provision of telematics solutions while also helping utilities firms to manage the impact on the grid.

Geotab CEO Neil Cawse said the acquisition would enable it to offer customers a telematics solution to meet changing fleet needs.

“With this acquisition, Geotab is now strongly positioned to help accelerate the uptake and EV infrastructure planning amongst both fleets and communities around the world,” added Cawse.

Matt Stevens, CEO of FleetCarma, continued: “Combining FleetCarma’s unique EV telematics capabilities with Geotab’s proven open-platform solution is exactly what our customers want and the industry needs. Together, as we continue to drive electric vehicle adoption, we will provide a complete solution that will not only benefit customers, but society as well.”
