NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Executive Summary of FLEET MANAGEMENT IN EUROPE
Fleet management is an ambiguous term used in reference to a wide range of solutions for different vehicle-related applications. Berg Insight's definition of a fleet management solution is a vehicle-based system that incorporates data logging, satellite positioning and data communication to a backoffice application. The history of fleet management solutions goes back several decades. On-board vehicle computers first emerged in the 1980s and were soon connected to various satellite and terrestrial wireless networks. Today mobile networks can provide ubiquitous online connectivity at a reasonable cost and mobile computing technology delivers very high performance, as well as excellent usability. All of these components combined enable the delivery of vehicle management, transport management, driver management and mobile workforce management applications linking vehicles and enterprise IT systems.
Commercial vehicle fleets play an essential role in the European economy. According to official statistics there were 35.5 million commercial vehicles in use in EU23+2 in 2008. The 6.2 million medium and heavy trucks accounted for more than 75 percent of all inland transports, forming a € 250 billion industry. Approximately 0.7 million buses and coaches stood for 9.3 percent of all passenger kilometres. Last but not least, the greater part of the 28.6 million light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Europe was used by mobile workers and for activities such as distribution of goods and parcels.
Berg Insight is of the opinion that the European fleet management market has entered a growth period that will last for several years to come. Individual markets may however suffer temporary setbacks, depending on the local economic developments. The number of fleet management systems in active use is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17.9 percent from 2.5 million units at the end of 2011 to 5.7 million by 2016. The penetration rate in the total population of non-privately owned commercial vehicles is estimated to increase from 8.8 percent in 2011 to 20.1 percent in 2016.
A group of international aftermarket solution providers have emerged as the leaders on the European fleet management market. Masternaut is ranked as the largest player overall in terms of installed base with close to 250,000 units deployed, mainly in France and the UK. TomTom Business Solutions was the fastest growing vendor also in 2011 and has now surpassed 200,000 subscribers. Transics is number one in the heavy trucks segment with an estimated 75,000 active units installed. Other significant players include European companies such as Vehco, Navman Wireless, TRACKER and Trafficmaster and international players like Trimble and Qualcomm from the US and the South African telematics providers DigiCore and MiX Telematics.
All major truck manufacturers on the European market offer OEM telematics solutions as a part of their product portfolio. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Scania launched their first products in the 1990s and followed by MAN in 2000, Renault Trucks in 2004, DAF Trucks in 2006 and Iveco in 2008. The products are all supporting the FMS standard and can generally be deployed in mixed fleets even if some functionality can be brand-specific. A major trend in the past year has been the announcements of standard line fitment of fleet management solutions. Since the end of 2011, Scania is rolling out the Scania Communicator as standard on all European markets and includes a four year basic service subscription. The new generation of the Actros trucks from Mercedes-Benz contains the FleetBoard vehicle computer as standard in all EU27 countries since October 2011. Volvo is going in the same direction offering Dynafleet as standard in some markets. MAN TeleMatics is since July 2012 standard on the new truck model TGX EfficientLine including a 4-month trial for the service. Nine major merger and acquisition activities took place in Europe during 2010 and the first half of 2011. In the past twelve months there has been a considerable slowdown of activities and no major events occurred. Berg Insight anticipates that a second wave of consolidation is likely to start in 2013. The latest transaction was done in June 2011 when Transics acquired the European activities of CarrierWeb. Francisco Partners acquired Masternaut in April 2011 forming the leading player in Europe from the Masternaut and Cybit operations. Another acquisition was done by Vehco in Sweden that acquired Elomobile in France in March 2011. Trimble acquired Punch Telematix in July 2010 and DigiCore acquired in the same month Minorplanet in the UK along with the associated businesses in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
Executive Summary of FLEET MANAGEMENT IN THE AMERICAS
Fleet management (FM) is an ambiguous term used in reference to a wide range of solutions for different vehicle-related applications. Berg Insight's definition of an FM solution is a vehicle-based system that incorporates data logging, satellite positioning and data communication to a backoffice application. The history of FM solutions goes back several decades. On-board vehicle computers first emerged in the 1980s and were soon connected to various satellite and terrestrial wireless networks. Today mobile networks can provide ubiquitous online connectivity in many regions at a reasonable cost and mobile computing technology delivers very high performance, as well as excellent usability. All of these components combined enable the delivery of vehicle management, transport management, driver management and mobile workforce management applications linking vehicles and enterprise IT systems.
Commercial vehicle fleets play an essential role in the economy both in North and Latin America. In North America, there are approximately 12.7 million GVW 3–8 commercial vehicles in use. An estimated 25.5 million GVW 1–2 vehicles are also owned by enterprises or public entities. In Latin America, the number of commercial vehicles in operation is estimated to 21.9 million, out of which 5.9 million are heavy trucks and 16.0 million are light commercial vehicles. Berg Insight is of the opinion that the market for fleet management in the Americas is in a growth period which was temporarily slowed down by the financial downturn but will continue in the years to come. The advanced North American market will remain on a growth track, not the least driven by regulatory developments such as CSA and the forthcoming EOBR mandate. Latin America is coming from a lower degree of maturity in the utilisation of fleet management solutions and will also experience an increase in adoption. In many cases, an educational process may however be needed in order to increase the awareness among prospective users about the potential that FM solutions have beyond mere security related features.
Berg Insight expects the market for fleet management to continue to show healthy growth in 2012. In North America, the number of fleet management systems in active use is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9 percent from 2.8 million units in 2011 to 5.9 million units by 2016. The penetration rate in the total population of non-privately owned commercial vehicles is estimated to increase from 7.9 percent in 2011 to 16.4 percent in 2016. In Latin America, the number of fleet management systems in use is projected to increase from 1.3 million units in 2011, growing at a CAGR of 16.6 percent to reach 2.8 million units in 2016. The penetration rate among non-privately owned commercial vehicles in the region is estimated to increase from 5.9 percent in 2011 to 12.8 percent in 2016. The market leaders on the fleet management market in the Americas include a range of different actors. Qualcomm Enterprise Services is ranked as the largest player, with an estimated total installed base of approximately 450,000 units in North and Latin America. The company's solutions are targeted at heavy trucks, where the main competitors in North America include Xata and PeopleNet. Trimble which previously mainly focused on service fleets now has a total installed base of 360,000 units following the acquisition of PeopleNet. Other actors focusing on service fleets include FleetMatics, Networkfleet, NexTraq and Wireless Matrix. Several actors also have a broader market scope, covering both light and heavy vehicles. Examples include Telogis, Teletrac, Zonar Systems and Webtech Wireless. Major Brazilian providers include Autotrac, Zatix and OnixSat, each having estimated installed bases in the range of 50,000–85,000 units. Other notable actors in Latin America include Copiloto Satelital and Grupo UDA in Mexico, Satrack in Colombia, and Tastets System and Wisetrack in Chile, each holding important positions in their respective countries. Most commercial vehicle manufacturers active in the Americas offer OEM telematics solutions – either independently or in partnership with established FM providers – with examples such as Volvo Link and Ford Crew Chief on the US market. Hino Insight was announced in 2011, as was Virtual Technician for Daimler's Freightliner and Western Star trucks. Paccar's TruckerLink service was also introduced during the year. Daimler's FleetBoard and Volvo's Dynafleet have moreover been launched in Brazil, while Scania Fleet Management is rolled out in Latin America. MAN Latin America offers the Volksnet solution and Iveco has further developed the system Frota Facil. FM solutions from OEMs have not yet been particularly successful in the Americas, but are expected to increase in importance in the coming years.
