The North American logistics industry is undergoing a digital transformation. As carriers and shippers strive to boost efficiency, cut costs, and meet sustainability goals, modern fleets are turning to IoT-based telematics solutions. In this context, advanced trackers (GPS/gps-OBD devices) and digital video recorders (DVRs/dashcams) are no longer optional gadgets – they are core assets in fleet management. Jimiiot recognizes that real-time connectivity and data-driven insights are the future of logistics. By 2025 and beyond, North American carriers are expected to double or even triple their use of connected-fleet technologies, reflecting a rapid expansion of the telematics market. Industry forecasts suggest

Solar-powered GPS trackers are revolutionizing how fleet managers and logistics teams monitor vehicles and heavy equipment. These advanced devices use sunlight to recharge, enabling continuous, real-time visibility even in remote or off-grid environments. In an industry where unplanned downtime and theft can lead to massive losses, adopting a solar-powered GPS tracker ensures assets remain online, secure, and accounted for—all with minimal maintenance. For example, the LL303 Pro LTE Solar Powered GNSS Tracker is a 4G solar GPS unit built for construction fleets and marine vessels.

In today’s automotive sector, cold chain logistics play an increasingly vital role behind the scenes. Many components in modern vehicles are sensitive to heat, cold, or humidity. For example, high-performance batteries (especially lithium-ion EV batteries) must be kept within strict temperature ranges to avoid degradation or safety risks. Similarly, specialized electronics, adhesives, sealants and liquid chemicals used in vehicle assembly can lose potency or spoil if exposed to extreme conditions. Even seemingly mundane fluids like certain automotive lubricants and coatings benefit from stable climate-controlled storage. By preserving material integrity throughout transit, cold chain shipping ensures that parts arrive ready for

Market Overview With the continued expansion of logistics operations and accelerated digital transformation, long-haul trucks and logistics fleets are demanding smarter, more reliable monitoring and control systems. In 2024, the global vehicle fleet management terminal market reached approximately USD 121 billion and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.1% between 2025 and 2034. The growth is largely driven by the need to improve operational efficiency and meet regulatory compliance. In China, the Ministry of Transport has emphasized the importance of vehicle safety, calling for advanced video monitoring and protection systems. Despite this, many freight fleets still face critical
