Wialon has mapped the vehicle telematics requirements and demands of each region. In Africa, it has saw a significant adoption of vehicle telematics. This has lead to one of the largest regional growth, with the number of connected vehicles growing by 29% over the past year. Africa has also seen increasing popularity of many vehicle telematics features.
In Europe, there has been rise in the number of connected vehicles. Along with this were was emphasis on electrification as transport manufacturers aim to decarbonize fleets.
Across North America, there has been significant growth, but also a notable divide. North America favors video telematics. Hence, a broad range of camera-based solutions are deployed in commercial vehicle fleets. They can be standalone applications or added as feature sets to conventional fleet telematics. Wialon recorded a 19% growth in the number of connected vehicles across North America.
South America recorded a growth similar to Africa, both at 29%. Furthermore, it is likely that the region will experience additional expansion in the commercial segment as agribusinesses and eCommerce continue to expand. This expansion will increase the demand on telematics and IoT technologies to ensure driver safety. By monitoring driver behaviors, such as speed, harsh braking, and aggressive maneuvers, companies are identifying risky driving patterns. They are taking proactive measures to prevent accidents.
Wialon’s distribution model relies on partners empowering over 2,400 companies. These partners, most of the them being SMEs and srattups, employ over 10,000 professionals and serve companies operating fleets in more than 150 countries.
Fleet management service providers are a good example of businesses that have the potential to scale, given that the rise of the API economy has opened up new avenues for telematics and IoT applications. Most service providers and system integrators are often small- and medium-sized companies. Working with a technology supplier like Wialon helps them access reliable, up-to-date technology swiftly and affordably. This benefits them in terms of speed, scale, and cost-effectiveness.
“As we celebrate the achievements of our partners, we see vast untapped opportunities in every region. The ambitious solutions offered by our partners exemplify Wialon’s versatility, flexibility, and transformative impact; from a leading provider of security and surveillance solutions for 400 Fortune 500 companies and over 40,000 small businesses worldwide, to start-ups and regional SMEs.”
