RSSAccording to a new research report from the analyst firm 3849 Berg Insight, the number of active fleet management systems deployed in commercial vehicle fleets in Europe was two million in Q4-2010. Growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7 per cent, this number is expected to reach five million by 2015.

Berg Insight says that the market is recovering from the economic downturn and it is clear that 2011 will be more positive than the previous year for the industry, even though uncertainties remain, especially in Southern Europe.

Some players such as 1692 TomTom Business Solutions achieved strong organic growth in 2010. Others, such as 748 Masternaut, 1985 Trimble and Digicore, also added new clients through important merger and acquisition activities in the past 12 months. They have all four joined the exclusive group of fleet management providers in Europe having more than 100,000 active devices in the field and Masternaut recently became the first vendor to surpass 200,000 subscribers.

“The consolidation trend is accelerating among the vendors of fleet management systems”, says Johan Fagerberg, senior analyst, Berg Insight. “In the past 18 months we have seen nine major mergers and acquisitions on the European fleet management market forming a new vendor landscape”. Fagerberg anticipates that the market consolidation of the still overcrowded industry will continue and take place both within the industry and through acquisitions by external players. With fewer larger companies left on the market he predicts that the intense price competition will relax somewhat and create room for more sustainable profit margins.

    London Congestion Trends, an in-depth study of the causes of traffic congestion in London between 2012 and 2015 published by Inrix, indicates that congestion in London is increasing, with journey times in Central London growing by 12 per cent annually. Inrix says this is consistent with data that shows that the London economy and population are growing, which normally results in an increase in gridlock.

In the last four months of 2014, a number of US states progressed programmes that achieved savings of more than US$1.75 million (€1.56million).
