Geotab hosted their 2024 business conference at Resorts World Las Vegas, February 14th-16th. Neil Cawse, Founder and CEO of Geotab, began the conference with discussing the disruption in the industry and embracing change.
As part of Connect 2024, Geotab launched several new centers of excellence, including the new Geotab Safety Center, which will be the next generation of fleet safety tools driven by data intelligence, predictive collision insights, and AI.
A new, enterprising breakout session, Empowering Success: Unleashing the Domino Effect of Connected Women, recognized the future of commercial vehicles, and the crucial role of women in fleet leadership.
Vehicle thefts in North America were up 2 percent in the first half of 2023, setting an alarming trend for the latter half of the year and the opening of 2024.
Looking closer at the data reveals an interesting carve-out: electric vehicles seem much less likely to be stolen by thieves than comparable internal combustion engine cars.
Thieves likely have to worry about the market they're attempting to sell a stolen EV in; if it's a different continent, and they're shipping to South America, the Middle East, or Africa or somewhere, it's likely the local market doesn't have the infrastructure or general support for electric cars. In other words, if the market you're selling to doesn't want the product, why steal it for them?
