Geotab does not directly operate as an approved eRUC provider in New Zealand, but its technology plays a growing role in the NZ RUC ecosystem through two channels. First, the October 2024 partnership with EROAD -- NZ's dominant eRUC provider -- positions Geotab's GO9 hardware within the ANZ compliance market via the EROAD Locate product. Second, third-party applications such as RUC Monkey use Geotab GPS data to automate off-road RUC credit calculations through geofencing and post-processed trip analysis.
Geotab partnered with New Zealand-based EROAD to launch EROAD Locate, a cost-effective telematics solution for light commercial vehicles across New Zealand and Australia. The partnership targets the significant untapped market where only 48% of the roughly 800,000 light commercial vehicles in New Zealand use telematics.
ABI Research ranked Geotab as the number one global commercial telematics vendor for the fourth year running. The 2025 milestone was five million subscriptions; by 2026 Geotab reported approximately six million connected vehicles and assets and more than 100,000 customers.
Geotab announced support for over 300 electric vehicle makes and models at the opening of its Automotive Innovation and Research Hub in England. The platform provides real-time data on battery charge, range, energy usage, and charging history. Its Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA) tool was adopted by the US General Services Administration to assess over 13,000 federal vehicles for electrification feasibility.
