SG Haulage saving figures with H-TEC

H-TEC Group, an independent family-run fleet technology specialist and authorised Geotab partner, has partnered with UK transport operator SG Haulage to deliver a fully integrated fleet management and video telematics solution across the company’s growing fleet. Together, the partnership has delivered a 50% reduction in fleet collision risk, a 5% improvement in fuel economy, and helped SG Haulage avoid an estimated £10,000 in disputed insurance claims.

Operating a fleet of more than 40 vehicles, including tractor units, rigids, Moffetts and vans, across national and international routes, SG Haulage sought a single connected solution that could improve fleet visibility, support compliance requirements and provide greater operational oversight across its growing operation, including the high-value equipment and specialist movements the company carries out daily.

H-TEC’s solution combines Geotab’s industry-leading telematics platform with H-TEC’s hands-on fleet technology expertise and local support, delivering seamless vehicle tracking, video telematics, remote tachograph downloading and safety monitoring across SG Haulage’s fleet.

Measurable results within 6 months

Within six months of deployment, SG Haulage achieved a 50% reduction in average fleet collision risk. Real-time visibility of driver behaviour, including harsh braking and harsh acceleration, enabled the business to identify drivers who needed additional support, while also recognising and rewarding those performing well. The result has been a measurable shift in driver culture across the fleet.

Fuel economy improved by 5% through enhanced fleet visibility, route optimisation and driver performance insights; reducing unnecessary off-route journeys and cutting idling across the fleet.

Video telematics has also proven invaluable in protecting drivers and reducing business risk. During 2026 alone, SG Haulage experienced three separate incidents where third parties attempted to attribute fault to company drivers. In each case, camera footage was used to demonstrate driver innocence, helping the company avoid an estimated £10,000 in potential insurance-related costs. The additional visibility provided by connected camera technology has also contributed to improved insurance terms from the company’s brokers.

“We needed a reliable partner to supply and install connected camera systems alongside tachograph integration across our fleet. The H-TEC and Geotab teams took the time to fully understand our requirements and delivered a solution tailored to the needs of our operation.


The cameras have been invaluable when proving driver innocence during an incident. Being able to defend ourselves more effectively in disputed accidents has not only protected our drivers but has also helped improve our insurance terms. Alongside that, we’ve seen an overall improvement in fuel consumption through better routing, easier fleet tracking and avoiding unnecessary off-route journeys.”

From manual compliance to connected fleet management

Prior to deploying the solution, SG Haulage relied on manual tachograph downloads and compliance processes. As the fleet expanded, these tasks became increasingly time-consuming and challenging to manage effectively.

Today, vehicle and driver data is automatically downloaded and analysed through the Geotab platform, providing real-time tracking that is vital for a company of SG Haulage’s scale, and particularly given the high-value equipment and specialist movements carried out across the fleet. Driver behaviour monitoring has enabled the business to identify coaching opportunities, reduce harsh driving events and unnecessary idling, and recognise high-performing drivers through targeted incentive programmes.

As an independent Geotab reseller, H-TEC provided end-to-end support throughout installation, configuration and ongoing account management, giving SG Haulage a single point of contact backed by both local expertise and a globally proven platform.

“SG Haulage operates a large, diverse fleet: tractor units, rigids, Moffetts, vans, and the whole fleet has been kitted out with the Geotab system. This provides their real-time tracking, which is vital for a company of this size, and especially given the high-value equipment and special movements they carry out on a day-to-day basis.
Since the Geotab system has been installed, we’ve seen collision risk reduce by 50%. SG Haulage are now able to accurately monitor driver behaviour and vehicle performance: picking up on drivers who need support with harsh braking or harsh acceleration, while at the same time rewarding the drivers who are performing well.”

Head of Technical, H-TEC Group

“Fleet operators face growing pressure to improve safety, manage costs and protect drivers, all while maintaining efficient operations. Connected vehicle and video intelligence provide the visibility needed to make informed decisions and respond quickly when incidents occur.
SG Haulage’s experience demonstrates how connected fleet technology can deliver measurable business outcomes - from reducing collision risk and improving fuel efficiency to supporting compliance and helping protect drivers when liability is disputed.”
