Geotab Inc. today 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 their use of connected vehicle technology and data insights to drive better outcomes for business, people and the planet. The awards were presented by Geotab Founder and CEO, Neil Cawse, at Geotab Connect 2025 in Orlando, Florida — a premier event attended by over 3,000 participants within the fleet 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.
Fleet Services by Cox Automotive has more than 1500 technicians - roughly 1200 of whom are mobile - and last year those techs completed over 900,000 repairs and serviced over 13,000 customers.
The Mobility House is the world's leading fleet charging company, and their vision is to create a zero-emission, zero-cost charging future for everyone.
Greater Than, the global provider of risk intelligence into road safety and climate impact, and Smart Eye AB, the industry leader in Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), today shared the initial results of their research project that is exploring the correlation between driver eye movements, Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) alerts, and crash risk.
“Our work with Greater Than provides valuable real-world insights into how drivers respond to distraction alerts and how those alerts influence crash risk,” said Martin Krantz, CEO and Founder of Smart Eye. “With a deeper understanding, we can refine our systems to make alerts more effective. These findings help us take in-car safety technology further, making it better equipped to prevent accidents."

Technology issues continue to dog vehicle ratings, as reported in the recently released J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS).
A 6% uptick overall in vehicle problems was reported from last year’s edition of the study. According to J.D. Power, the spike is largely a result of owners of mass market vehicles expressing dissatisfaction with various software components.
J.D. Power also utilizes the results of the 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study to determine which makes and models are recipients of their coveted awards. This year's overall brand winner for vehicle dependability is Lexus, while the top overall model is Toyota Avalon.
