RAC partners with CalAmp to expand RAC Connected across the UK

Robotic Arm Controller (RAC) and CalAmp announced a strategic partnership to expand RAC Connected across the UK to help commercial fleet operators improve safety, reduce risk, and better control operating costs.

RAC Connected was presented as a solution purpose-built for commercial fleet operators and drew on the RAC’s motoring expertise; the platform was described as robust, easy to deploy, and simple to use, and it was stated to be available now for UK commercial fleet operators.

The enhanced RAC Connected platform included real-time fleet visibility with vehicle location, trip history, geofencing, and utilization insights; driver behavior insights with configurable alerts and coaching workflows; automated crash detection supported by CalAmp’s CrashBoxx Artificial Intelligence (AI); configurable reporting and administrative controls; and AI-powered dual-facing video dashcams offering in-cab alerts and organized clips.

CalAmp provided the underlying technology to power the RAC Connected experience while the RAC retained responsibility for customer engagement and service delivery to fleets across the UK; operators could start with core fleet management tools and add video safety or crash intelligence features as needs changed 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.”

“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.” The companies described plans to expand RAC Connected nationally.
