Echoes Connected Conference 2026, Frankfurt
La Crau, November 20, 2025 — Echoes, the European leader in fleet management and connected vehicle data, will hold its annual conference on Thursday, January 29, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on the theme “ Not knowing your costs—what price do you pay? .”
Following the success of the first Echoes Connected Conference (EC²), which brought together more than 250 people in Paris on January 16, 2025, Echoes is organizing a second edition of its international event for short-term rental operators, leasing companies, and corporate fleet managers.
It will take place on January 29, 2026, in Frankfurt, Germany, in the heart of Europe, with the same goal embodied by the slogan “driving the future of vehicle data”: to highlight the added value of vehicle data provided by automakers during a day of conferences, best-practice exchanges, and networking. Derived from the connectivity installed by manufacturers in the factory on new vehicles, this vast, precise, and real-time data is fueling a true revolution in the security and management of vehicle fleets.
“Not knowing your costs—what price will you pay?”
For its second edition, the Echoes Connected Conference will focus on a specific theme that will serve as the central theme throughout the day: “Not knowing your costs—what price do you pay?” (The cost of not knowing your costs).
This will involve analyzing and anticipating changes in vehicle operating and ownership costs for corporate fleets, rental companies, and lessees, against a backdrop of rising global car prices, energy costs, and new regulatory and electrification-related constraints. This new landscape brings costs that fleet managers are unfamiliar with and tend to underestimate. At the heart of Echoes’ vision is the conviction that connectivity and vehicle data from manufacturers can and must help control and reduce these costs.
To explore this topic in greater depth, a dozen distinguished speakers will take the stage. Among them are leasing companies, short-term rental operators, corporate fleet managers, B2B automotive market specialists, and data protection professionals. Not to mention experts from major automakers such as Stellantis, Renault, Tesla, the Volkswagen Group, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and others.
The Echoes Connected Conference 2026 is the perfect opportunity to:
- To learn more about trends in vehicle fleet management and operating costs, and to understand the challenges and risks that managers will face in the coming years
- To discover how connected vehicles—and the vast amounts of precise data they generate—will impact the business models of mobility operators as well as the day-to-day operations of fleet managers
- To work together to shape the future of fleet management and identify the indicators and metrics that will be useful for controlling and managing fleet TCO in the future
- To meet industry experts, exchange ideas, and learn from their best practices
