The MapTrack Fleet Census, 2026 edition [Data set]. https://www.maptrack.com/research/what-fleets-actually-track-2026","measurementTechnique":"Direct measurement of configuration and recorded activity in the MapTrack platform, taken as a census of every fleet meeting the qualification test rather than as a survey of self-reported practice.","population":"A census of every fleet meeting the qualification test: real users at their own email domain, at least 25 live assets, activity within the last 90 days, not a demo. The population is defined by that test rather than by a headline number; MapTrack does not publish absolute counts of its customer base, so no count of fleets or of assets is given.","method":"Every figure is a share of fleets rather than a pooled volume, so no single large customer drives a result. Shares of fleets are reported to the nearest 5 percentage points, which is the precision a census of this size supports; each row carries its own precision. Figures drawn on a large or already-published denominator are reported exactly. Trigger figures come from topic analysis of 344 recorded conversations with equipment managers over the 12 months to August 2026.","limits":["Describes active operators rather than the whole market.","No segmentation by industry, region or fleet size.","A baseline as at the measurement date, not a trend.","Practice associations describe which practices travel together, not causation."],"rows":[{"section":"Fleet breadth","metric":"Fleets spanning five or more of eight asset classes","valuePct":60,"basis":"share of qualified
