Case Study: TRAILAR achieves measurable fuel savings and greener logistics with Software AG's Cumulocity IoT

Telematics for a greener world with Cumulocity IoT

TRAILAR, a DHL startup developing ultra-thin solar mats for commercial vehicle roofs, set out to reduce fuel use and CO2 emissions while proving clear business value to fleet customers. The company needed an all‑in‑one IoT solution that could handle device management, real‑time telematics, fuel‑savings calculations and simple customer dashboards — and it had to be deployed quickly to support go‑to‑market activity.

TRAILAR implemented Software AG’s Cumulocity IoT with streaming analytics after a successful proof‑of‑concept, becoming operational in under six months and with customer installs taking only hours. The platform collects telematics, visualizes data in dashboards, calculates fuel savings (typically 2.5–7.5% per vehicle) and CO2 reductions, and supports device onboarding and fleet management — delivering measurable evidence, rapid rollout, industry recognition and scope to extend into new telematics use cases.
