Detailed Review
MICHELIN Connected Fleet is the rebranded Masternaut, a British fleet telematics and dashcam provider that Michelin acquired and has been folding into its own connected-fleet brand. The legal entity, Masternaut Limited, still holds the contracts and describes more than 350 fleet telematics specialists supporting customers, on top of the tracking, driver safety and AI dashcam product Masternaut sold under its own name for years.
Masternaut Limited is registered in Leeds, West Yorkshire (company number 7848318), and the practical effect of the Michelin ownership is a French tyre and mobility group's balance sheet and European reach behind a UK telematics operation — a different kind of stability from the venture-backed vendors in this category. Pricing is not published; the company takes enquiries through a call-back request rather than a self-serve quote form.
What MICHELIN Connected Fleet does well
- Backed by Michelin, a large European (French) group
- 350+ telematics specialists available to customers
- AI dashcams alongside core tracking
- Long-running UK telematics operation under new ownership
- European group ownership rather than private equity
Where MICHELIN Connected Fleet falls short
- No published pricing; sales-led enquiry process only
- United Kingdom entity, so adequacy rather than EEA jurisdiction
- Brand transition from Masternaut may still cause confusion
- No self-serve trial or quote tool on the site
Standout feature. A UK telematics operation now carrying the balance sheet and reach of Michelin, one of Europe's largest industrial groups.
