The UK transport and logistics sector is under growing pressure to decarbonise, with government targets pushing for net-zero emissions by 2050—and many operators committing to ambitious timelines of their own. While electrification and alternative fuels often dominate the conversation, there’s another critical enabler of progress: data.

Specifically, bespoke telematics solutions are playing an increasingly vital role in helping fleets monitor, reduce, and ultimately eliminate their carbon footprint. But not all telematics systems are created equal. Off-the-shelf platforms can only take you so far. To make meaningful gains, operators need systems tailored to their operations, goals, and decarbonisation strategies.

The road freight and commercial vehicle sector is under increasing pressure to decarbonise. With the UK government targeting net zero by 2050 and tighter emissions regulations on the horizon, fleet operators face growing demands to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining operational efficiency.

At Fleet Witness, we recognise that decarbonisation isn’t just about switching to electric vehicles. It’s also about using intelligent technology to drive efficiency, cut waste, and support smarter, more sustainable operations. That’s where we come in.

At 3 AM on the M6, a heavy goods vehicle hums steadily down an empty motorway. Inside, the driver is deep into their eleventh consecutive hour. It’s a familiar scene across Britain—one that keeps our supply chains moving, yet comes at a growing human cost.

Despite tech advances, the beating heart of the haulage industry remains its people. In 2025, the driver shortage hasn’t disappeared; it has evolved. The challenge now lies not just in finding drivers—but in keeping them well.

We already work with airside companies and with strict regulations, tight schedules, and zero room for error, airside operators need precision, efficiency, and total visibility.  

Whether you’re keeping things moving at Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, or beyond, Fleet Witness is your co-pilot for smarter fleet management. 

We’re here to make your fleet management a breeze and keep you on the right side of the law (and the road !)

Fleet Witness makes it easy to keep tabs on working hours and rest periods. No more paper shuffling or hoping the tachograph “forgot” the last trip. It’s all there in a neat little digital package.

3. Pre-empt Vehicle Maintenance
With our advanced features like battery status monitoring, MOT/service date management, and geofencing alerts, Fleet Witness empowers fleet managers to proactively maintain their fleets even when not in operation. Eliminate the need for expensive repairs and downtime when it’s time to put your vehicles back into service.

4. Video Telematics for Incident Management
Accidents happen, but with Fleet Witness’s video telematics, you’ll have the footage to prove it wasn’t your driver’s fault. In fact, you’ll get the scoops before anyone even asks. Think of it as having a dashcam, CCTV, and a personal lawyer all in one.

5. Automated Reporting & Inspection Readiness
I LOVE PAPERWORK !! Said nobody … ever. But with Fleet Witness, reporting becomes effortless. Generate DVSA-compliant reports with a click, so when the inspectors knock, you’re always ready for them.

6. Supporting Sustainability & Environmental Goals
Not just about staying legal – it’s also about keeping the planet happy. Fleet Witness tracks fuel efficiency and supports your transition to electric vehicles. Because compliance is cool, but being eco-friendly is even cooler

Picture this: there’s a thief with a crowbar eyeing your lorry like it’s a giant piñata stuffed with goodies.

Cargo and vehicle theft may be on the rise (with fleets losing millions annually) but so is our resolve to stop it. At Fleet Witness, we’re more than a vendor—we’re a specialist partner dedicated to keeping your fleet safe, secure, and profitable.   Our mission? To arm your fleet with cutting-edge tools that stop theft in its tracks and keep your cargo secure.

Let’s be real—fleet emissions are a big, ugly problem. Your trucks are puffing out more CO2 than a dragon with a cold, and regulators are watching like hawks. The world is demanding greener, leaner transport solutions.

From January 2025, changes to EU regulations will require vehicles operating internationally to upgrade to Smart Tachograph Version 2 (V2). This update is designed to improve data accuracy, enhance safety standards, and ensure compliance across Europe. At Fleet Witness, we’re here to help you understand what’s changing and how to prepare.

It is estimated that more than a million commercial vehicles have dash cameras installed. Dependant on the choice of dash camera, it can record what’s happening in front of the vehicle, rear and sometimes the sides. 

Good news, dash cameras are legal to install in the UK and require no special permission to use. Whilst they are legal to own and install, there are a few laws regarding the operations and use of one whilst driving and using them with passengers.
