MICHELIN Connected Fleet: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

MICHELIN Connected Fleet is the trading name of Masternaut Limited, a fleet telematics provider offering vehicle tracking and fleet and driver management. The company was founded in France in 1996 under the name SDM; the Masternaut name still appears in the Masternaut Connect login portal. Customers track their vehicles and manage their fleet through an online service. For vehicle and driver data, the company acts as a processor under the customer's contract.

Masternaut Limited is registered in England and Wales, with its registered office in Leeds and a London office listed in its privacy policy, so it is a UK company outside the EU. It has been a subsidiary of the French tyre manufacturer Michelin since 2019. The privacy policy states that personal data may move to databases in the countries where the group operates, and it cites Standard Contractual Clauses and binding corporate rules for transfers. It does not name hosting countries or offer EU-only storage, so a European organisation should ask the vendor where its fleet data is stored.

Why digital sovereignty matters with MICHELIN Connected Fleet

MICHELIN Connected Fleet is headquartered in GB, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor. The ultimate owner is based in FR, also within Europe.

MICHELIN Connected Fleet hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

MICHELIN Connected Fleet is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs MICHELIN Connected Fleet together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
