The global heavy equipment telematics market is projected to grow from USD 1.33 billion in 2025 to USD 3.21 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 13.4% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for fleet tracking, navigation, diagnostics, and maintenance is driving the need for telematics services in off-highway equipment.
Samsara Inc. (US), Trimble Inc. (US), Geotab Inc. (Canada), ORBCOMM (US), Topcon (Japan), and CalAmp Corp. (US) are some major players in telematics services, while Caterpillar (US), Komatsu Ltd. (Japan), J C Bamford Excavators Ltd. (UK), and Volvo CE (Sweden) are key off-highway equipment manufacturers offering OE embedded telematics solutions. These companies have combined efforts through product and service development, collaborations, expansion, and partnerships to strengthen their market presence.

Samsara Inc. has been focusing on product launches and collaborations as strategies to strengthen its position in the global heavy equipment telematics market. In June 2025, Samsara launched new AI-powered solutions to enhance safety and efficiency in physical operations. These innovations include the Samsara Wearable, a connected device designed to keep frontline workers safe in various environments. Similarly, in April 2025, HCSS integrated Samsara’s telematics data into its HCSS Telematics platform. This collaboration will now enable construction companies to manage their entire mixed fleet, comprising both heavy equipment and on-road vehicles from a single, centralized dashboard. The company also received recognition in June 2025, when Sterling Crane, a mobile crane rental company, announced that it lowered unplanned maintenance from 34% to 20%, saving over USD 500,000 and 10,000 hours of technicians’ time. Overall, the company achieved more than USD 3 million in equipment maintenance savings following the integration of Samsara services.
Topcon has been focusing on product launches, collaborations, and expansions as strategies to strengthen its position in the global heavy equipment telematics market. In March 2025, the company launched its latest construction technologies, including the MC-Max systems for excavators and paving, the Layout Navigator, and MC-Mobile for compact machines. Similarly, in May 2025, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Vemcon GmbH to broaden the availability of smart 2D-to-3D assist solutions for excavators across EMEA and international markets. In the same month, Topcon Positioning Systems entered into a collaboration with Amberg Technologies Ltd. to enable interoperability between Topcon’s high-precision sensors and Amberg’s hardware and software solutions for rail and tunnel applications.
Komatsu Ltd. has been focusing on product launches and partnerships as strategies to strengthen its position in the global heavy equipment telematics market. In February 2025, Komatsu Ltd. launched Komtrax Plus 2025. It is an advanced Komatsu telematics system launched to provide enhanced remote monitoring of heavy machinery, including tracking machine location, operational status, and component health. Similarly, in April 2025, Komatsu partnered with DataDis (Canada). DataDis has developed a new telematics integration with Komatsu that automates the daily transfer of engine hours from Komatsu's system to their maintenance software MIR-RT. This automation enables fleet managers to track upcoming maintenance efficiently, minimize manual errors, and create preventive maintenance tasks based on the equipment's engine hours, thereby centralizing all fleet data in a single platform for easier management. As of 2024, the company had more than 0.8 million equipment equipped with its Komtrax software.
Caterpillar has been focusing on product launches, collaborations, and expansions as strategies to strengthen its position in the global heavy equipment telematics market. In November 2024, Caterpillar (US) renewed its partnership with Trimble (US) to advance grade control technology in the construction sector. The updated agreement focuses on enhancing interoperability, fostering innovation, and facilitating easier adoption of 3D systems for customers with existing 2D setups. The company has also focused on product enhancement as a strategy. In April 2024, the company updated its VisionLink telematics service to offer an integrated full-fleet management solution with an intuitive interface accessible via both desktop and mobile devices. The new systems consolidate data from owned, leased, or rented equipment across brands, optimizing uptime and utilization with real-time asset tracking, maintenance alerts, and workflow task management. As of mid-2025, the company has more than 1.5 million equipment equipped with its VisionLink software.
