OCTO Telematics Launches New Telematics Solutions for Commercial Lines Insurance and Partners with TruckerCloud to Expand Data and Insights
Partnership combines OCTO's high-precision in-vehicle installed telematics solutions with TruckerCloud's leading commercial auto insurance telematics data platform.
BOSTON & ATLANTA, September 28, 2026--OCTO, a global leader in telematics data analytics, and TruckerCloud, the leading commercial auto insurance telematics data platform, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate telematics adoption across the US Commercial Auto market.
Concurrently, OCTO is launching a line of high-granularity, in-vehicle installed telematics solutions purpose-built for Commercial Insurers. OCTO's hardware delivers accurate DriveAbility® risk scoring, already approved for Commercial line in about 35 US States, alongside instant crash detection and reconstruction for FNOL and claims cost reductions. The solution also includes a complimentary driver coaching and rewards mobile application, enabling fleet managers to monitor driving behavior, promote safety, and incentivize drivers through monetary rewards.
Through this partnership, OCTO's proprietary DriveAbility® Score can be integrated directly into the TruckerCloud platform for fleet vehicles, class 1-6, using OCTO's telematics solutions. The joint offering provides insurers and fleets streamlined access to actionable telematics data, driver risk insights, and underwriting support through a single ecosystem.
TruckerCloud connects heavy-vehicle fleets to roughly 200 ELD, camera, and telematics systems through its normalization platform, and offers FleetFile, its own crash risk score for heavy-duty lines. By pairing this broad reach with OCTO's granular data analytics and crash intelligence for Commercial vehicles Classes 1–6, the collaboration bridges the gap between the heavy vehicles fleet already connected with the 2/3 of remaining lighter fleet vehicles that are today not connected, the Class 1-6.
Commercial Auto insurers using TruckerCloud can now leverage OCTO's solutions for Class 1–6 vehicles fleets to enhance risk segmentation, underwriting and claims cost reductions.
"This collaboration represents a major step forward for Commercial Auto innovation," said Nino Tarantino, President of OCTO North America. "TruckerCloud has established itself as a trusted connectivity layer between insurers, fleets, and providers. Together, we are making it seamless for insurers to leverage predictive driving data and advanced risk scoring to improve underwriting performance, enhance road safety, and drive profitable growth."
