New Survey from EVAI Illustrates Opportunities & Challenges with GPT Interfaces for Fleet Management; Adoption Still in Early Stages

Trust, Efficiency Gains, and Decision-Making Benefits Drive Curiosity—Yet Concerns Around Integration, Accuracy, and Oversight Remain

JACKSON, Wyo., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVAI, a pioneering AI-first company specializing in advanced data analytics and AI-driven solutions for fleet management, today released findings from a new industry survey examining the use of generative AI and GPT interfaces across commercial vehicle fleets. Presented to more than 2,000 fleet professionals in May, data from the online survey highlights a growing appetite for GPT-powered tools in operations, despite the fact that usage remains in its infancy.

Key Findings:

Growing Familiarity and Limited Adoption:
- 40.8% of respondents report being moderately familiar with GPT-style interfaces, while 10.7% say they are very familiar and 9.7% identify as experts.
- GPT solutions are currently used in a limited way by 40.8%, and extensively by just 10.7%.
- Still, 38.8% are not currently using GPT interfaces but are actively considering them.
- 30.1% would definitely consider adopting such interfaces within 12 months, and 31.1% possibly would.
Top Concerns Hindering Adoption:
- The most common barriers include:
  - Integration complexity (20.4%)
  - Lack of awareness (19.4%)
  - Data security concerns (19.4%)
  - Worries about hallucinations/answer accuracy (19.4%)
- Fewer cited uncertain ROI (9.7%) or satisfaction with current systems (11.6%).
Perceived Benefits and Use Cases:
- Key use cases include:
  - Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis (21.4%)
  - Trip and route optimization (20.4%)
  - Data analysis (17.5%)
  - Vehicle health monitoring (15.5%)
- 51.5% believe GPT interfaces perform better than traditional dashboards for analyzing and interpreting fleet data.
Operational Efficiency Impact:
- For those already using GPT interfaces:
  - 30.1% report 8–10% efficiency increases
  - 9.7% report improvements of 15% or more
- Among potential adopters:
  - 29.1% anticipate a 10–12% efficiency gain if implemented.
Comfort and Trust Levels
- 39.8% feel somewhat comfortable using GPT for operational analysis; 10.7% are very comfortable.
- For trip and route optimization:
  - 39.8% trust GPT with some reservations
  - 10.7% trust it completely
AI Delegation and Human Oversight:
- Delegation comfort levels:
  - 30.1% would delegate some tasks with human oversight
  - 30.1% would delegate moderate tasks with periodic reviews
  - Only 10.7% would allow high-level delegation; 9.7% would allow full autonomy
- Preferred oversight methods:
  - Periodic checks and audits (31.1%)
  - Exception-based oversight (29.1%)
  - Full-time human oversight (20.4%)
Specific Applications and Concerns:
- High perceived value in:
  - Automated driver safety alerts and compliance monitoring (59.2% rate as very or extremely valuable)
- Major concerns in vehicle health monitoring:
  - Data accuracy (31.1%)
  - Integration with existing systems (29.1%)
  - Privacy/security (20.4%)
- Real-time location and geofencing:
  - 21.4% consider it very important
  - 29.1% moderately important

“The data reveals a clear desire to embrace generative AI in the fleet sector, but also underscores that we’re still in the early phases,” said Ian Gardner, Founder and CEO of EVAI. “Fleet managers are asking smart questions about integration, trust, and ROI—and that’s where EVAI is helping bridge the gap, providing real-time, actionable insights while keeping human oversight in focus.”

While GPT-style interfaces offer strong promise for improving decision-making, efficiency, and cost control, providers must address lingering concerns about hallucinations, system compatibility, and user trust. The research suggests that with the right deployment strategy and user training, GPT-based tools can become a momentous force in fleet operations—unlocking gains that were previously out of reach.

As the industry continues to modernize, EVAI’s mission remains clear: to equip fleets with the intelligent tools they need to operate efficiently, predictively, and securely in a fast-changing environment.
