Technology Upgrades in Fleets are Saving Lives
Leveraging tech, data, and expertise to prevent collisions and boost operational efficiency.
Roads connect businesses, infrastructure and communities for everyday essentials and operations. From emergency response and citywide maintenance to the delivery of services and goods—these fleets occupy a large portion of roadways. Crucial technology enhancements are needed to not only boost productivity, but most importantly create safer roads for operators, passing motorists, and nearby pedestrians and cyclists.
70% of Fleet Managers say Fleet Driver/Safety is a Top Priority in 2025.¹
Through nationwide initiatives, campaigns and city specific executive orders, decision makers are taking action to keep fleets up-to-date with the latest technology that mitigates potential risks and improves overall efficiency. NEWCOM is a technology systems integrator and helps fleet managers design and implement a solution, complete projects on time, and meet compliance.
“What keeps you up at night?”
Fleet Managers responses verbatim¹:
- “Fear of that call that there was a catastrophic collision.”
- “Driver safety and compliance.”
- “Large liability verdicts that have little justification in driver or company actions.”
- “Accidents and lack of quality drivers.”

Prevent Collisions
Fleet safety begins inside the vehicle, with drivers needing full awareness of their surroundings. Simple upgrades like 360° cameras and proximity sensors help detect blind spots, protecting drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists with real-time views and alerts.
Stay Connected
Seamless connectivity between rugged devices and software is crucial to import and export data on the go. In addition, advanced digital warning technology, such as Responder-to-Vehicle (R2V), reduces struck-by collisions for roadside emergencies, towing and construction.
