Fleetio and Motive Integrate to Improve Fuel Cost Control and Maintenance Compliance
Fuel is a high marginal cost for fleets: here's how Fleetio and Motive launched an integration to help manage that.

Motive, the AI-powered Integrated Operations Platform, and Fleetio, a fleet maintenance and optimization platform, announced an expanded integration that centralizes fuel, maintenance, and telematics data. This solution provides two-way automated data workflows to help eliminate manual tasks, enhance safety and compliance, extend asset life, and provide fleets with greater visibility into fuel and maintenance operating costs.
With fuel and service costs making up nearly 75% of operating budgets, fleet managers are facing mounting pressure to keep vehicles road-ready while controlling escalating expenses. The Motive-Fleetio integration introduces two new capabilities to meet those challenges.
Two-Way Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) Sync: Defect resolutions now sync through an automated, end-to-end DVIR process — improving compliance while maximizing vehicle and driver uptime. When an issue is resolved in Fleetio, the corresponding DVIR defect in Motive automatically closes, allowing managers to act quickly and prevent unsafe dispatches.
Motive Card Fuel Sync: Every Motive Card fuel transaction is automatically imported into Fleetio, providing fleets with a single source for cost tracking, budgeting, and International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) reporting. By connecting fuel spend with driver behavior and asset health, managers gain new insight into one of their largest expenses and turn what was previously a blind spot into an advantage.
"This integration brings together fuel, telematics, and maintenance data in a way that helps companies not just react to challenges, but get ahead of them," said Stefano Daneri, Fleet Ecosystem Strategist at Fleetio. "It's all about turning data into action, action into uptime, and uptime into long-term performance."
Since 2018, Motive and Fleetio have worked together to unify maintenance and telematics data, enabling streamlined scheduling, fault tracking, service reminders, and asset insights. Today, with Fleetio managing over one million assets and Motive's vast telematics reach, the partnership delivers one of the industry's largest cross-platform datasets.
