The RAC have announced a strategic partnership with telematics software provider CalAmp to expand the RAC Connected service nationally. RAC Connected is the organisation’s telematics solution for fleet management.
The partnership offers RAC Connected customers a new and improved telematics platform with the option to add AI-powered video safety features and automated crash detection as needed. The expanded platform helps fleets improve safety, respond faster to incidents, and gain clearer operational insight, without added complexity.
With CalAmp providing the underlying technology to power the RAC Connected experience, the RAC will continue to lead customer engagement and service delivery to fleets across the UK.
Operators can start with essential fleet management tools and add video safety or crash intelligence features as needs change, without disrupting daily operations.
“The RAC has earned the trust of motorists and fleet operators by focusing on what matters most to customers,” said Paul Washicko, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Telematics Solutions at CalAmp. “Our role is to support that experience behind the scenes, with flexible technology that enables the RAC to deliver safer driving, faster incident response, and clearer insight for business customers.”
The enhanced RAC Connected platform builds on the RAC’s connected fleet services with a focused set of capabilities designed to work together at scale, including:
• AI-powered video dashcams providing dual-facing video, in-cab alerts, and organised clips to support incident review and driver coaching.
• Real-time fleet visibility with vehicle location, trip history, geofencing, and utilisation insights to support dispatch, routing, and asset planning.
• Driver behaviour insights with configurable alerts and coaching workflows to help reduce risk and support safer driving.
• Automated crash detection and incident alerts, supported by CalAmp’s CrashBoxx AI technology, to enable faster damage assessment, response, and follow-up.
• Configurable reporting and administrative controls to support fleets of different sizes and operating models.
“Our business customers rely on us to help them run safer, more efficient fleets,” said RAC Head of Telematics and Connected Solutions, Geraint Jones. “RAC Connected helps businesses protect their drivers, reduce risk, and manage costs, without adding complexity. By working with CalAmp, we’ve strengthened the platform behind the scenes so our customers can focus on running their business.”
