It has used Geotab across its bus fleet in the UK, including in London where it is the largest operator of bus services. The company’s engineering team needed access to the vehicle and engine diagnostic information so that they could optimise vehicle health. Geotab was selected for its ability to provide consistent information across the varying makes and models of buses, as well as to guide its bus electrification strategy and provide access to critical EV data to help it optimise the use of its new electric buses and reach its decarbonisation goals.  \nFleet profile  \nCompany:  \nGo-Ahead Group  \nIndustry:  \nPeople Transportation  \nBased in:  \nUK and republic of Ireland  \nTypes of vehicles:  \nBuses  \nFleet size:  \n6,150  \nFleet focus:  \nOptimisation and Sustainability  \nSolutions:  \n• EVSA  \n• MyGeotab  \n• Sustainability centre  \n• GO9 devices  \n• IOX-UREADER  \n• IOX-NFC reader  \nSolution: Flexibility and continual innovation  \nGO9 telematics devices  \nRollout of Geotab’s GO9 telematics devices began in July 2024, and by July 2025 over six thousand devices had been fitted in buses located across the length and breadth of the UK. Since most of the fleet works all day, the installers had to work flexibly and arrange installations out of hours to reduce Go-Ahead Group from suffering any operational impact.  \nEngineering team  \nThe engineering team is tasked with keeping their buses road worthy and well-maintained, and with Geotab’s real-time Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), they are now able to look out for early signals when their vehicles need repair. These maintenance insights allow the team to take early interventions and make efficient use of technician resources to keep their buses on the road and ensure that route schedules are adhered to. Therefore, the engineering team are mitigating the risk of performance-related fines and saving thousands of pounds by identifying minor problems before they escalate into expensive repairs or catastrophic failures.  \n Inherent complexity of buses  \nExtracting comprehensive and reliable diagnostic data from buses is a significant hurdle. That's because they're inherently complex, often built with diverse engine, chassis and electronic configurations.  \nGeotab, however, is exceptionally well-equipped to tackle this challenge.  \nOur Solution Engineering team has successfully harmonised varied data qualities into streamlined insights across Go-Ahead's diverse fleet of bus makes and models and ancillary vehicles. This ensures consistent and credible diagnostic insights, no matter the vehicle's specific build. What's more, the team is constantly improving how readable and digestible this data is, making it much easier for engineering teams to understand and act upon.  \nOperational and economic benefits  \nThe use of Geotab has delivered operational and economic benefits to Go-Ahead, with the operations team benefitting from Geotab’s highly accurate vehicle location data to manage and optimise service schedules. Within London, the buses are fitted with an NFC readerso that drivers can swipe their fobs to allow for accurate driver identification and aligning of behaviour data with the individual drivers. Geotab developed a custom integration with the existing electronic ticket machines (ETMs) for driver identification on Go-Ahead buses outside of London.  \nIn-cab feedback  \nIn London, a pilot programme is underway to provide in-cab feedback to drivers based on Go-Ahead’s customised safety thresholds, for example related to harsh cornering, acceleration or braking. This instant feedback will help the drivers to immediately change their behaviour, improving fuel effici","cbCaipeF2SmgmRDy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipeF2SmgmRDy","pdf",307852,"English","# Success Stories\n## Fleet profile\n## Challenge\n## Solution: Flexibility and continual innovation\n## Engineering team and maintenance insights\n## Operational and economic benefits\n## In-cab feedback\n## Assisting Go-Ahead to go electric\n## Impact: Proving the ROI potential","[{\"question\":\"What problem did Go-Ahead need to solve with bus diagnostics data?\",\"answer\":\"Go-Ahead needed consistent, reliable bus diagnostics data to optimize vehicle health.
