Geotab Achieves CARB Certification, Revolutionizing Fleet Compliance with Seamless Emissions Monitoring
Geotab, a leader in connected transportation solutions, has become the sole telematics provider to achieve CARB Clean Truck Check (CTC) certification and an exemption from emissions anti-tampering regulations. This milestone allows Geotab's telematics devices to provide seamless compliance for fleets operating in California by continuously collecting emissions data while keeping vehicles operational. The certification supports protocols J1939 and J1979 and includes a T-harness installation exemption, enhancing connectivity and convenience. With CARB's Clean Truck Check program mandating regular emissions reporting for 1.2 million heavy-duty vehicles, Geotab's solution helps fleets avoid significant fines and downtime associated with traditional compliance methods. The system’s real-time reporting and continuous connectivity enable proactive maintenance, streamline operations, and future-proof compliance for fleets nationwide.

Evolving Company Car Policies: Balancing Costs, Compliance, and Changing Workforce Needs
The company car, a longstanding corporate fixture, continues to evolve as fleet managers balance cost efficiency, compliance, and employee satisfaction. Since Automotive Fleet's 2008 surveys, personal use has declined from 87% to 72% in 2024, with charges averaging $123 monthly. Employers face challenges such as increased personal mileage, especially post-pandemic, and adapting to new generational preferences. Mondelez International maintains stable deductions, despite rising personal use, while BD recently raised charges to counter inflation, supported by benchmarking. Both companies limit authorized drivers and navigate the hybrid work era's complexities. Looking ahead, EV adoption and generational shifts may further reshape fleet policies.
