Telematics systems are almost guaranteed to become standard-fit items in new vehicles before the decade is out. A European initiative will ensure that all new cars are fitted with the technology for safety reasons by 2015 and fleet-friendly software is expected to be built on top of that.
Experts claim that there have already been signs of these items creeping into cars that are currently on sale and that it won't be long before fleets can procure their vehicles with ready-made telematics platforms.
Damian James, head of operations at Bracknell Forest Council, told BusinessCar: "They will be in all new cars as part of the E-Call programme. It's a European initiative and by 2015 black boxes will be installed on all new cars.
Giles Margerison, sales director of TomTom Business Solutions, said: "It's a case of making life easier - that's where things will develop. You can integrate with fuel-card providers and there are now apps for drivers - we've just launched the second one in a year. Anything that means you're not always sitting at a PC, waiting for things to download, will develop."
