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.

Customer Perspective

"Motia has consistently been a trusted partner as we've expanded across Europe over the last 20 years. They've boosted our operational efficiency and always found a way to integrate with our core systems and support us as we grow."

Aodh Hannon, Managing Director, Hannon Transport

The partnership has evolved beyond fleet technology alone. Motia's ongoing support, account management, integration expertise and continuous platform development ensure Hannon has the tools and insights needed to adapt to future challenges and opportunities.

Looking ahead, Hannon Transport continues to use Motia's data and analytics to support strategic decision-making, helping the business drive further efficiency gains, improve sustainability and maintain its position as a leader in temperature-controlled logistics across Europe.
