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.
- Electric refrigeration gives cold-chain fleets more than an emissions advantage
Battery and solar-powered trailer refrigeration could give Australian transport operators greater control over energy costs, fleet performance and customer service, according to Sunswap Co-founder and CEO Michael Lowe. Speaking at TruckShowX, Lowe argued that rapid falls in battery and solar costs have made zero-emission refrigeration commercially viable, creating an opportunity for cold-chain fleets to replace - California incentives accelerate US electric truck conversionsCalifornia’s truck electrification market is moving beyond trials, with fleets now placing larger orders across new vehicles, conversions and shared charging infrastructure. Janus Electric has secured conditional orders from four California freight operators for 67 diesel-to-electric truck conversions, 77 swappable battery packs and four Janus Charge & Change Stations. The agreements, worth about A$45 million,
- Why trailers are the missing link in linehaul fuel efficiencyWhen linehaul fleets look for fuel savings, attention often turns first to the prime mover. Engine specification, cruise control settings, driver behaviour, aerodynamic packages and route planning all matter. But a TruckShowX case study has highlighted another area that can quietly undermine efficiency: the trailer. Speaking during a practical TruckShowX session, Lachlan Van de Haar,
- Why truck efficiency starts underneath the chassisSmall specification choices across tyres, axles and tare weight can add up to meaningful fuel and productivity gains, according to Hendrickson Asia Pacific Executive Manager – Engineering Andrew Pendlebury. The path to a more efficient freight task is not always a new powertrain or an entirely new vehicle platform. For many operators, the gains are
