Michelin has introduced a new Truckfly by Michelin GPS for professional drivers, live in Europe from 4 August 2025. The smartphone-based navigation sits inside the existing Truckfly app. It uses truck-specific vehicle data and real-time updates to avoid unsuitable bridges, restrictions and regulatory obstacles. Pricing in Europe starts at €6.99 per month on a no-contract basis.
The Truckfly by Michelin GPS is built for HGV use, replacing ageing in-cab units with a phone-native approach that updates features in real time. It supports custom settings for dimensions and hazardous loads, helping drivers plan compliant routes and reduce risk. Subscriptions are already active in 15 European countries.
“This GPS is a response to a simple observation: more than 86% of truckers currently use navigation tools which are not fit for purpose… It’s a huge issue not just for road safety, but also for the operational efficiency of trucking companies.” — Clément Faure, Chief Marketing Officer, Truckfly by Michelin.

“At Truckfly by Michelin, we firmly believe that truck drivers deserve a bespoke all-in-one solution… The tangible result is a tool designed for them and by them!” — Stéphane Rabiller, CEO, Truckfly by Michelin.
Created in 2015, the Truckfly app has more than 615,000 users across 44 countries and lists over 125,000 truck-friendly locations, including parking, fuel, restaurants, delivery points and garages. Community alerts cover speed checks, accidents and road obstacles, updating in real time.
Beyond navigation, Truckfly offers an annual business plan with tiered licences aligned to Quality, Health, Safety and Environment policies. A built-in recruitment feature lets companies post jobs and search a database of more than 12,000 active driver profiles, supporting retention during a driver shortage.
A smartphone-first GPS reduces hardware obsolescence and downtime for updates. Truck-specific routing can prevent bridge strikes, low-emission zone infringements and unsuitable road use, improving safety and cost control. Related digital tools are moving in the same direction, from connected inflation systems to rugged driver terminals that enhance workflow and compliance. See connected inflation system targets fleet efficiency and PRO X driver terminal launch for context.
Michelin’s recent activity spans brand leadership, sustainability disclosures and fleet partnerships, signalling deeper engagement with commercial transport and connected services. See Michelin tops 2025 tyre brand rankings and Hawkins Logistics adopts a Multi-Life policy for wider context.
