Motive Expands to UK, Driving Safer, Smarter AI-Driven Fleet Solutions
Motive, a leading AI-powered Integrated Operations Platform for physical operations, has officially launched in the United Kingdom. With its new London office and the appointment of Nyanya Joof as regional vice president, Motive is set to deliver its AI fleet platform to UK businesses. The platform supports Driver Safety, Fleet Management, and Workforce Management for industries including transport, construction, energy, utilities, and food services.
This UK expansion follows Motive’s strong growth across North America, extending its mission to power safer and more efficient operations with AI. “We’re bringing our mission to the UK as AI begins transforming physical operations,” said Shoaib Makani, CEO and Co-founder of Motive. “With our AI fleet platform, we aim to cut collisions, automate work, reduce costs, and speed up sustainability.”
AI Fleet Platform to Tackle Growing UK Logistics Challenges
UK fleet operators face increasing pressures from a projected 200,000 HGV driver shortage to rising insurance and fuel costs. Adding to that, over 130,000 road incidents occurred in 2024, placing greater urgency on operational safety. Businesses also face regulatory pressure to adopt electric vehicles (EVs), while still managing outdated systems with limited agility. To address these challenges, Nyanya Joof will lead Motive’s regional growth strategy and GTM execution. With over 15 years of experience in scaling GTM teams across Europe, including at WeWork, Joof brings deep industry expertise.
Motive’s AI Fleet Platform Delivers Tangible Benefits
Enhances Driver Safety
Motive’s AI-driven Driver Safety tools detect mobile use, stop sign violations, and risky behaviors. These insights help prevent crashes, protect workers, and improve retention through real-time coaching and recognition.
Reduces Costs
The platform cuts insurance premiums by 21%, improves fuel use, and lowers maintenance costs. AI visibility into vehicle health and routing speeds up decisions and drives efficiency.
Boosts Productivity
Through its Workforce Management tools, Motive automates tasks like scheduling, payroll, and compliance. The Driver App simplifies inspections and removes paper processes.
Supports EV Transition
Motive enables smooth adoption of EVs ahead of the UK’s 2030 Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate. Tools include EV forecasting, fuel-efficient routing, and predictive maintenance. These help manage EV repair costs, which run 25% higher than petrol vehicles. This capability was further enhanced by Motive’s recent acquisition of InceptEV, a battery intelligence startup that strengthens its EV software capabilities. Zach Spengler, Director of EHS at ABM Aviation, noted, “Motive’s AI fleet platform has transformed safety in our U.S. operations. It helps us reduce accidents, protect drivers, and save fuel capabilities that UK businesses will greatly benefit from.”
