LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 8, 2026--
Motive, the AI platform for physical operations, today launched Motive Analytics, an AI-powered analytics solution built directly into the Motive Dashboard that unifies data across safety, fuel, maintenance, telematics and more to help teams in the UK make faster, better decisions. By automating reports and centralising information, Motive Analytics can help reduce spreadsheets and manual analysis. Teams can quickly see where attention is needed, uncover trends early and take action that can improve safety, boost productivity and lower costs.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260408303260/en/
The solution also includes AI Answers, a conversational AI designed for physical operations. Like ChatGPT, it’s designed to understand natural language questions and instantly surface answers from the data Motive brings together across an organisation’s operations. Simply by asking questions in their own words—such as ‘Which drivers had the most idling time last week?’ or ‘What was our average vehicle downtime last month?’—teams can receive easy-to-understand answers and visualisations.
Safety, operations and finance teams in the UK often struggle to gain a complete view of their operations because they rely on disconnected legacy tools that cannot keep pace with growing complexity or connect data across the business in real time. Critical insights are buried in spreadsheets, and by the time data analytics teams deliver reports, the data is often outdated. Teams don’t have the insights they need to quickly identify risks or opportunities and make fast decisions. Motive Analytics is designed to help solve this with a new integrated analytics experience that gives teams real-time answers—no coding required.
‘Across the UK, organisations are drowning in fleet data but starved of clarity,’ said Nyanya Joof, Regional VP of UK Markets at Motive. ‘AI-powered Motive Analytics is designed to bring all of an organisation’s key operational data into one easy-to-digest view so teams can move from reactive reporting to proactive decision-making that can improve safety and protect margins.’
Motive Analytics is designed to help UK teams:
From fleet safety to fuel efficiency to tracking and telematics, Motive Analytics can help safety and operations teams quickly see what’s happening and take action right away. Learn more about the Motiveplatform and how it can help UK teams reduce fleet costs, improve safety and optimise performance. Read more about Motive Analytics in our blog post.

PARIS (AP) — Novak Djokovic placed ice packs around his neck and on top of his head during changeovers to keep cool amid the Paris heat wave at the French Open on Wednesday.
The 39-year-old Djokovic was pushed by 74th-ranked French player Valentin Royer — who is 15 years younger than him — for more than 3½ hours before he reached the third round with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-7 (7), 6-3 victory.
For the fourth straight day of this year’s tournament, the temperature rose beyond 32 degrees Celsius (90 Fahrenheit).
When Djokovic won a key point early in the fourth set with a forehand that he whipped around the net post from far off the court, the 24-time Grand Slam champion waved his arms toward the crowd inside Court Philippe-Chatrier.
Djokovic wasted a chance to close the match out earlier when he missed a backhand long in the third-set tiebreaker then required four more match points in his final service game before a forehand from Royer finally landed in the net to conclude a long rally.
Before arriving in Paris, Royer had earned only one tour-level win across 11 tournaments he played this season.
Djokovic came to Roland Garros with questions over his form after getting beat in his only clay-court match before the tournament. He lost to Croatian qualifier Dino Prizmic at the Italian Open after two months out due to a right shoulder injury.
But Djokovic is playing himself back into form after coming back from a set down to beat Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, another Frenchman, in a first-round match that lasted nearly three hours.
Djokovic improved to 14-0 in his career against Frenchmen at Roland Garros and reached the third round in Paris for a 21st straight year. He raised the Coupe des Mousquetaires trophy in 2016, 2021 and 2023.
One duo of Djokovic fans inside the main stadium held up a sign with a goat on it — for “Greatest of All Time” — that read “39 is the new 29.”
Up next for Djokovic is potentially a bigger test against either 19-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca or the 20-year-old Prizmic, who were playing later. Fonseca has been touted as a future Grand Slam contender, while Djokovic himself pointed to big things ahead for Prizmic after their meeting in Rome.
Later, second-seeded Alexander Zverev was playing Tomas Machac in the night session.
Elena Rybakina, this year’s Australian Open winner, was beaten by Ukrainian opponent Yuliia Starodubtseva 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4).
Also advancing were in-form Ukrainians Elina Svitolina and Marta Kostyuk, who are coming off trophies at the Madrid Open and Italian Open, respectively.
The seventh-seeded Svitolina beat Kaitlin Quevedo 6-0, 6-4 to extend her winning streak to eight matches. The 15th-seeded Kostyuk beat Katie Volynets 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-3 to extend her winning streak to 13 matches.
Four-time champion Iga Swiatek improved her career record at Roland Garros to 42-3 by eliminating 35th-ranked Sara Bejlek 6-2, 6-3.
Swiatek won Roland Garros in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Swiatek next faces Magda Linette in the first all-Polish meeting at Roland Garros in the professional era (since 1968). Linette eliminated 2017 champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-2, 2-6, 6-2.
Also, 11th-seeded Belinda Bencic beat American opponent Caty McNally 6-4, 6-0.
