Fleet managers running specialized equipment — electric terminal trucks, truck-mounted forklifts — have historically managed those assets in a separate system from the rest of their fleet, creating blind spots: utilization went untracked, faults got missed, and operators spent time toggling between platforms. Geotab has added two new OEM integrations to MyGeotab, Orange EV and Hiab, streaming manufacturer telematics data directly into MyGeotab with no additional hardware required.

Available in the US and Canada through the Orange EV Premium plan. Fleet managers can monitor GPS position, road speed, ignition status, and odometer for real-time location and trip history; state of charge and charging status (AC, DC, or not charging) to track battery levels and build low-charge alerts before shift start; battery cell temperatures (max, min, average) to detect thermal events and support warranty documentation; and time remaining until next service to stay ahead of maintenance windows.

Available in the US through the Hiab US Premium plan. Fleet managers can monitor GPS position and speed for real-time equipment tracking; engine hours, operational time, and idle time to flag idle-reduction opportunities; fuel level and total fuel consumed; operator safety signals including seatbelt alerts, door-open status, and heavy-lift-without-stabilizers prevention; and equipment fault alerts such as oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage anomalies. Signal availability depends on the specific Hiab equipment model.

• Fleet managers eliminate the need for a separate telematics system for specialty equipment — everything lives in MyGeotab alongside the rest of the fleet.
• No additional hardware to install or maintain — both integrations use the OEM's native telematics feed.
• Customers can build MyGeotab exception rules on safety and fault data from day one, not just view raw data.
• For Orange EV customers, battery and charging data directly supports fleet electrification goals — shift planning, charge management, and battery health tracking.

Available now. Orange EV is available in both the US and Canada; Hiab is available in the US. No impact to existing users or functionality — these are additive integrations, and equipment appears in MyGeotab as new devices once a customer subscribes to the relevant rate plan.
