Every day, thousands of vehicles disappear around the world. In Portugal, 20 vehicles are stolen daily, totalling 43 748 incidents since 2020.
In Brazil, the scenario is even more alarming: over 1 000 vehicles are stolen every day, reaching 126 680 thefts in 2024 alone.
According to Interpol, there were more than 226 000 stolen vehicles worldwide in 2023, an average of 618 per day.
By category, light passenger vehicles account for 71% of all thefts. Most of these vehicles are dismantled for parts and resold in informal markets.
The figures make it clear: vehicle theft is a global and growing problem, and no organisation is immune to it.
Fleet management goes far beyond monitoring mileage or scheduling maintenance.
It is a strategic approach to safety and efficiency, protecting company assets, ensuring compliance, and minimising operational loss.
With the right technology, companies can know where each vehicle is, how long it has been parked, and whether there are route deviations or unauthorised use.
Quatenus develops fleet management and GPS tracking solutions that ensure complete traceability and allow instant remote vehicle blocking in case of theft.
For small companies, that means peace of mind. For large fleets, it means control, efficiency, and operational safety at scale.
With GPS tracking in real time, companies no longer depend solely on insurance or luck.
The Quatenus platform lets users monitor every movement, detect suspicious behaviour, and receive automatic alerts when irregularities occur.
Remote blocking, integrated into Fleet Express and Fleet Express Plus, enables safe immobilisation from a distance, within seconds.
In many cases, this feature is the key difference between a lost vehicle and one recovered in minutes.
Choosing the right GPS system depends on your company’s operational profile.
