Geotab received a record-high number of nominations for the Champion awards this year, highlighting the fleet and transportation industry’s strong commitment to safety and operational excellence.
Geotab recently revealed the winners of the 2025 Geotab Innovation Awards. The annual awards program celebrates the commercial businesses and public sector fleets leading the way in using connected vehicle technology and data insights to drive better outcomes for businesses, people, and the planet.
Geotab Founder and CEO Neil Cawse presented the awards at Geotab Connect 2025 in Orlando, Florida — a premier event attended by over 3,000 participants within the pet industry.
The winners, including commercial and public sector fleets from the food and beverage, transportation and logistics industries, public transit, public works, and others, used Geotab data insights to achieve significant results, such as improving fuel economy, lowering costs, reducing idling, emissions, and risk, and increasing the safety of drivers.
Two additional Geotab Champion awards were presented this year to recognize outstanding safety and maintenance performance in public sector fleets.
“The 2025 Geotab Innovation Award winners clearly show how quality data insights have a tangible impact on fleet performance, cost, and efficiency,” Cawse said. “The award winners are setting impressive benchmarks that are driving the connected vehicle industry forward while improving outcomes for their customers and organizations. Geotab congratulates all the winners on their well-deserved recognition.”
