The State of Sustainable Fleets

The State of Sustainable Fleets 2026 Market Brief delivers a comprehensive assessment of an industry navigating one of the most complex operating environments in modern trucking. Authored by TRC Companies, a WSP member company, this year’s report highlights how fleets are adapting through powertrain and fuel diversification, advancing technologies, changing policy landscapes and new funding opportunities.

As uncertainty continues across regulations, infrastructure and supply chains, fleets are shifting strategies. Rather than relying on a single solution, many are managing total cost of ownership (TCO) across a portfolio of technologies — a data-driven diversification strategy linked to stronger operational resilience.

The report also explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is moving from pilot programs into mainstream fleet operations, supporting applications such as route planning, predictive maintenance and dispatching. It also examines how more than $5 billion in annual funding through 2028 is supporting continued investment in clean transportation.

Key highlights from the brief include:

  • Trends in fuel and powertrain diversification
  • TCO strategies and risk-based decision-making
  • Funding outlook through 2028
  • Growing role of AI in real-world fleet operations
  • Maturing clean technology markets
  • Shifting policy and regulatory landscape

2022 Telematics Use and Trends

The 2022 Telematics Use and Trends study examines who is using telematics devices and how fleet decision makers choose technology and use the information it generates. It found that fleets are using information from telematics devices in several ways, from increasing productivity and improving maintenance tracking, to reducing their fuel spend.

Learn more about how fleets are using telematics and what factors influence their device selection.

"With an increased focus on technology, the whole digital experience becomes more crucial. Solutions need to be simple to use and intuitive. People want to know what critical information they need to act on."

~ 2022 Telematics Use and Trends

Top Findings

  • Larger fleets, and those with more complex business operations, are adopting telematics devices at a higher rate than small fleets.
  • Fleets covering more territory are more likely to use telematics than fleets with coverage in just one territory.
  • Two-thirds of decision makers said they shop telematics solutions across multiple providers, with larger fleets appearing to weigh their options more carefully than small and medium fleets.
  • Cost is among the most important factor influencing purchasing decisions. Decision makers also look at ease of installation and feature availability.
  • More than three-fourths of fleets – 75% – share telematics data with at least one fleet management service provider.
