Fresh off the back of our amazing win at the Fleet Champions Awards 2025 for Fleet Safety Product of the Year, the FSGB (Fleet Service GB) Team turned up in force at Fleet & Mobility Live EXPO. It was brilliant to see our long-standing clients, demo our award-winning software and app, and meet potential future partners. Plus, there were lots of interesting talks and guest speakers.
What is Fleet & Mobility Live?
A brief history and purpose
Fleet & Mobility Live is the UK’s leading annual event for the fleet and mobility community. Over the years, it’s evolved from a trade show into a large gathering where fleet experts, suppliers, manufacturers, and professionals gather to learn, network, and showcase new tech and best practices.
The event is designed to serve as a hub for:
- Learning & best practice: sessions on electrification, compliance, risk management, sustainability
- Technology & product innovation: seeing the latest fleet software, telematics, EVs, charging infrastructure
- Networking & partnerships: making connections across the industry
- Policy, regulation & safety: helping fleet managers keep ahead of legal changes and safety standards
In 2025, the show took place on 7–8 October at the NEC in Birmingham, with more exhibitors and manufacturers than ever before (including; BMW, BYD, Mini, Nissan, Volvo and Tesla).
What we did at Fleet & Mobility Live 2025
Our presence and what we showcased
This year, we really stepped up our game with a completely upgraded Fleet Service GB exhibition stand — and it made a huge difference.
We wanted to increase our presence and make it easier for visitors to experience what makes FSGB the only fully integrated fleet and driver management solution on the market. So, we:
- Expanded the footprint of our stand, giving us more space for live demos, conversations, and visitor flow
- Introduced a dedicated demo zone, where people could try our software and mobile app for themselves
- Added an interactive touchscreen showing a real-time example of our Achieve Driver App. Displaying vehicle checks, driver registration and the accident workflow.
- Created a comfortable “Client Corner” for catching up with our long-standing partners
- Enhanced our branding and visuals — clean, bold, and easy to spot from across the hall
The feedback was fantastic. Visitors said the layout made it easier to engage, understand our solutions, and see how we could help them manage risk, reduce downtime, and simplify compliance.
What talks stood out & themes emerging
Some of the most interesting sessions and trends I noticed:
- Electrification & charging strategy: Lots of focus on how fleets transition to EVs, plan charging infrastructure, and manage total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Safety, risk & compliance: In an era of tighter legislation and scrutiny, fleet safety is still a core concern. That’s where partners like Brake and Driving for Better Business (DfBB) play a major role.
- Data & telematics integration: How to bring together multiple data streams (driver behaviour, vehicle health, maintenance) into a usable dashboard was a recurring topic.
- Mobility, micromobility & new models: We saw more interest in non-traditional mobility (e.g. scooters, micro-vehicles) as part of wider corporate transport strategy.
- Operator profitability & cost control: How do you run a safer and greener fleet without ballooning costs? A constant tension at the show.
Role of Brake Road Safety Charity and Driving for Better Business (DfBB)
These two organisations are critical in the UK fleet / road safety ecosystem, and their presence at Fleet Live underlines that.
Brake (the road safety charity)
Brake partners with the UK fleet sector to promote safer roads. They organise the UK Fleet Champions Awards, which recognise organisations doing outstanding work in safety and pollution reduction. In fact, our own Fleet Safety Product of the Year award was under that umbrella.
Brake uses these events to promote safety campaigns, share best practice, and push the message that safety is not optional. Their stand at Fleet & Mobility Live helps raise awareness, connect with fleets, and encourage participation in road safety initiatives.
Driving for Better Business (DfBB)
DfBB is a National Highways programme aiming to help employers reduce work-related road risk, improve compliance, and manage the costs associated with fleet operations. They issue monthly guides (e.g. “Fleet Focus”) to help fleet managers improve vehicle roadworthiness, set up policies, and share safety knowledge with drivers.
At the event, the DfBB team was present to talk through policies, best practice, and what fleets need to do to stay safe and legal. Their role is especially important now, as legislation tightens and public expectations for road safety grow.
Lessons learned & actionable takeaways for you
If you missed Fleet & Mobility Live or didn’t catch everything, here are the key lessons you can act on:
Prioritise fleet safety & risk mitigation
Safety is no longer optional. Use tools (software, driver coaching, monitoring) to reduce incidents. Work with charities and bodies like Brake and DfBB to adopt best practice policies.
Invest in data integration & visibility
Measure everything you can: driver behaviour, vehicle health, maintenance, costs. Turn that into dashboards you act on. Don’t keep data in silos.
Plan your EV transition carefully
EVs bring new challenges (charging, infrastructure, range, battery health). Use phased approaches, scenario planning, and vendor partnerships. Don’t jump in without modelling total cost and risks.
Engage drivers & users
Your drivers are critical. Educate, incentivise, monitor, and reward good behaviour. Use apps, training, gamification. If drivers don’t buy in, even the best systems fail.
Build partnerships early
The fleet world is broader than just trucks and vans — suppliers, software firms, charities, regulators. Make connections now and stay plugged in to the ecosystem.
Keep evolving & iterating
What works this year may not next year. Stay curious, test new tools, pilot new tech, and adapt.
