EROAD has signed a substantial long-term agreement with Cleanaway Waste Management Ltd to deliver an integrated monitoring, reporting and compliance solution across the company’s fleet of more than 3,000 heavy vehicles nationwide.
For the heavy-vehicle sector — where safety, compliance and system reliability are non-negotiable — the collaboration represents a significant commitment from two large industry players with shared priorities around safer operations and improved risk management.
A comprehensive safety and compliance package
The rollout covers multiple connections per standard and dual-sided vehicle, bringing together a suite of technologies designed to support driver safety, operational oversight and compliance reporting. These include:
- Location tracking
- Dashboard-mounted and internal fatigue-monitoring cameras
- Seat-shaker alerts
- Rollover alerts
- Duress buttons
- Critical-event monitoring
- Satellite connectivity for remote-area operations
Installations are already underway, with full implementation scheduled for completion by November 2026. Once operational, the agreement is expected to generate more than A$5 million in annual recurring revenue, supported by fixed annual escalators. The contract extends for five years, with an option for Cleanaway to continue for a further three years.
Commitment to long-term safety performance
EROAD CEO Mark Heine said the partnership reinforces the company’s investment in advanced camera technology and workflow systems that align with the operational and compliance demands of large heavy-vehicle fleets.
“EROAD is incredibly privileged to partner with Australia’s leading total waste management, industrial and environmental services company,” Heine said. “This partnership underscores both our shared commitment to health and safety and the potential of the Australian market. Securing this large enterprise agreement is the result of our continued investment in new camera technology and workflow to ensure it meets our customers’ operational and compliance needs. It also demonstrates our long-term commitment to supporting Australian industry with best-in-class solutions.”
Cleanaway strengthens its safety foundation
Cleanaway will integrate the full EROAD suite as part of its ongoing strategy to enhance safety, improve incident response, and support its frontline workforce with real-time visibility and smarter tools.
Nicholas Dhar, Cleanaway’s Head of Fleet Safety and Compliance, said the decision followed a detailed assessment of available systems.
“At Cleanaway, safety is more than a priority, it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our partnership with EROAD reflects our commitment to embracing smart technology that supports safer, more efficient operations,” Dhar said. “After a thorough evaluation, EROAD stood out for its comfort, flexibility, ongoing support and strong commitment on safety. It’s a meaningful step forward in creating safer roads and a safer working environment for our people.”
What it means for fleet operators
For heavy-vehicle operators across waste, logistics and essential services, the partnership highlights several emerging trends:
- Increasing adoption of fatigue-monitoring technology and in-cabin alert systems
- Greater integration between telematics, safety and compliance workflows
- Growing reliance on satellite connectivity for remote and regional operations
- Long-term commercial partnerships that embed continuous improvement and system upgrades
For the HV sector, this agreement signals continued momentum towards fully connected fleets where safety data, driver behaviour insights and compliance reporting are embedded into everyday operations.
Fleet managers will be watching closely as the Cleanaway rollout progresses, particularly how multi-device installations and satellite-supported operations perform at scale across one of the largest heavy-vehicle fleets in Australia.
- CJD Equipment builds charging capability for electric heavy machinery
CJD Equipment is preparing its national operations for a future where electric and hybrid heavy machinery play a larger role in customer fleets. As the dealer for Volvo Construction Equipment and a national supplier of heavy vehicles and construction equipment, CJD is already working with customers that want lower-emission machinery. To support that shift, the - Charging Infrastructure — Not Trucks — Is the Biggest Barrier to Fleet ElectrificationOne of the clearest messages from the electric truck panel at the Smart Energy Conference and Exhibition in Sydney was that the technology for electric trucks already exists. The real challenge facing Australia is building the charging infrastructure fast enough to support large-scale fleet electrification. Throughout the discussion, panel members argued that truck manufacturers, charging
- The Real Decarbonisation Strategy for US Truck FleetsWhen fleets talk about sustainability, the conversation often turns quickly to electric vehicles. But according to Emily Williams, Associate Vice President, Transportation Business Development at Geotab in the United States, the most immediate emissions reductions are coming from operational improvements—particularly better use of data and changes in driver behaviour. Speaking earlier this year at Geotab Connect

The business, which transports food products along Australia’s east coast and into South Australia and Tasmania, took delivery of one of the first ProCabin models in the country
- Fuel Security Fears Push Electric Trucks From Climate Debate to Business NecessityAustralia’s heavy transport industry is starting to view truck electrification through a very different lens. At the Smart Energy Conference and Exhibition in Sydney, the conversation shifted beyond emissions reduction and sustainability targets to something far more immediate — fuel security, operational resilience, and the long-term viability of freight businesses reliant on imported diesel.
