The Challenge
Managing a large international fleet presents significant operational and financial challenges.
Hannon needed clearer visibility of vehicle performance, fuel consumption and driver behaviour to identify opportunities for greater efficiency. At the same time, the business wanted to improve forecasting, strengthen insurance risk management and make more informed long-term investment decisions.
With rising operating costs and increasing pressure on fleet performance, Hannon required more than just vehicle tracking. They needed actionable insights that could help reduce waste, improve fuel efficiency and support continuous improvement across the entire operation.
The business also wanted to better connect fleet performance data with wider business functions, including budgeting, insurance negotiations and fleet renewal planning.
The Solution
Motia worked closely with Hannon Transport to implement a fully connected fleet management solution across its 400+ vehicle fleet.
Connected Fleet Solutions
Hannon has adopted Motia's full range of fleet technologies, including:
- Telematics
- Fuel Smart
- Tacho Smart
- Vehicle camera solutions
By integrating these systems into one connected platform, the business benefits from greater visibility, simpler management and more informed decision-making.
Advanced Telematics and Fleet Analytics
Using Motia's telematics platform and CANBus analytics, Hannon gained a much deeper understanding of fleet performance. The solution provides real-time visibility into:
- Vehicle utilisation
- Fuel consumption
- Driver behaviour
- Idle time
- Route efficiency
- Operational costs
This enabled the team to quickly identify inefficiencies and focus on targeted improvements.
Driver Performance and Coaching
Motia's driver analytics helped Hannon introduce a more data-driven approach to driver engagement and coaching.
By identifying excessive idling, inefficient driving styles and other performance trends, fleet managers were able to provide fair, evidence-based feedback that encouraged positive behavioural change while improving driver buy-in.
Insurance Integration with HDI Global
Through direct API integration with HDI Global, Motia developed a Driver Performance Report that links telematics data with insurer risk metrics.
This gives insurers access to meaningful driver performance insights and allows risk, coaching and claims decisions to be based on real-world data rather than assumptions.
Supporting Better Business Decisions
Motia's analytics are now used throughout the business, supporting:
- Annual budgeting
- Cost forecasting
- Cost-per-mile modelling
- Fleet renewal planning
- Insurance negotiations
- Equipment utilisation analysis
This ensures operational and financial teams are working from the same trusted data.
The Impact
The results delivered through the partnership have been significant.
Across Hannon's fleet of more than 400 vehicles, Motia's technology and insights have helped achieve:
- 50% reduction in vehicle idle time
- 1 MPG improvement in fuel efficiency
- More than £240,000 in annual fuel savings
- 15% reduction in insurance premiums
- Improved forecasting and budgeting accuracy
- Enhanced visibility across fleet operations
- Better driver engagement through data-backed coaching
- Stronger support for long-term business planning
By combining telematics data with insurance analytics, Hannon has also benefited from a more proactive and evidence-led approach to risk management, helping reduce costs while strengthening safety performance across the fleet.
