Geotab Launches GO Focus Plus in the Philippines to Help Fleets Prevent Accidents and Protect Drivers

Latest video intelligence solution supports safer driving amid congestion, enforcement shifts and growing dispute risk

MANILA, Philippines, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Geotab, a global leader in connected transportation, video and asset tracking solutions, today announced the launch of the GO Focus Plus® AI dash cam and its new video intelligence platform in the Philippines, expanding access to advanced AI video telematics designed to help fleets proactively reduce risk and improve driver safety and strengthen accountability on increasingly complex roads.


The dual-facing dash cam delivers proactive, in-cab voice support that helps drivers self-correct risky behaviors such as distraction, fatigue or tailgating. In a recent large pilot, the voice coaching functionality helped reduce tailgating by 90% and mobile phone use by 95%. This system turns every alert into a coaching opportunity, aiming to prevent accidents and create a measurable impact on fleet safety culture.

The launch comes as Philippine fleet operators face a convergence of rising road risk and increasing accountability. Congestion in Metro Manila, long inter‑regional routes, and highly variable driving conditions create environments where incidents, disputes and violations are more likely. At the same time, the reintroduction of the No‑Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) in multiple cities has shifted responsibility for violations directly to vehicle owners, increasing operational and financial exposure for fleet‑managed vehicles.

While GPS tracking systems provide location and speed data, they cannot explain what actually happened during a violation, accident or roadside dispute. This gap between data and real‑world context has become more pronounced as enforcement relies increasingly on automated systems and post‑event adjudication.

“In the Philippines, fleet operators are navigating a uniquely complex operating environment,” said Ezanne Soh, Associate Vice President, Southeast Asia, Geotab. “Drivers are working in congested, unpredictable conditions, while enforcement frameworks and public scrutiny continue to evolve. The cost of not having clear visibility into what happens on the road is rising. This is accelerating a shift across the industry, from investigating incidents after the fact to preventing risk in real time, while protecting both drivers and organizations.”

GO Focus Plus combines Geotab’s connected vehicle insights with intelligent, in‑cab coaching to give drivers instant support exactly when they need it. For fleet managers, AI‑driven video intelligence surfaces the most critical risks and repeat behavior patterns first, reducing manual review and enabling more effective, targeted intervention without constant monitoring.

Supporting Accountability and Dispute Resolution

Beyond accident prevention, video telematics is becoming a critical tool for accountability and protection. In congested urban centres such as Manila and Quezon City, disputes arising from road incidents, aggressive driving or conflicting accounts can quickly escalate into insurance claims or legal exposure. High‑definition video evidence provides an objective record of events, helping fleets resolve disputes faster, defend against false claims and protect drivers from being unfairly blamed.

This capability is especially relevant in the Philippines, where fleets may also encounter situations involving false accusations or attempted “kotong” during roadside incidents. Clear video evidence helps remove ambiguity, reduce operational disruption and strengthen trust across drivers, insurers and regulators.

Key Features of GO Focus Plus

  • Proactive Driver Coaching: The Go Focus Plus provides instant, in-cab voice prompts to drivers when risky behaviours like distracted driving (e.g., phone use, fatigue) or tailgating are detected, helping them correct habits.
  • Targeted Fleet Management: AI-driven video intelligence surfaces the most urgent risks and repeat patterns for quick review, eliminating the need for fleet managers to sort through extensive footage. Each alert includes video and contextual data, enabling targeted and effective coaching.
  • Seamless Workflow and Safety Culture: The MyGeotab platform allows for a seamless workflow, including the assignment, tracking, and recognition of progress, reinforcing a strong culture of safety within the fleet.
