NEW CHAPTER FOR TELTONIKA’S TELEMATICS DIVISION – DARIUS MALIŠAUSKAS APPOINTED AS THE CEO

At Teltonika, change drives innovation, strengthens partnerships, and fuels our global ambitions. Teltonika’s telematics division enters a new era with Darius Mališauskas, the new CEO, formerly head of R&D, who replaces Antanas Šegžda after 5 years of leading the company as one of the world’s top manufacturers in the telematics industry. This change will drive our long-term vision to focus on developing next-generation FT platform products, expand into high-potential markets, and help our business partners grow.

With years of experience across technical and leadership roles, Darius brings a fresh and technologically-driven approach to the business. This transition is about building on the strong foundation already in place and enhancing key areas that matter to our clients most. It includes introducing AI-powered tools and smarter processes to strengthen our support and provide even more value. Darius Mališauskas shares his vision in a short interview below.

What are your first priorities as the CEO?

“Internally, we will adapt and evolve together as one team. For our clients, we will remain a consistent and reliable hardware provider while continuing to improve and innovate behind the scenes.

This includes working on the FT platform development roadmap. Some of the trackers are already being tested by clients, and we are using their feedback to enhance device performance. For instance, we have seen notable improvements in the dead reckoning technology. During the Telematics Summit Europe 2025, clients were able to see this feature in action, and their input helps us fine-tune devices before mass production.

Another current priority is asset tracking. The market demands novel ideas and a more tailored approach. We see a growing need for new types of devices suited to different use cases. The main idea is to open up more opportunities for our business partners.

Working in R&D, I have had the chance to follow closely Teltonika’s telematics technologies through all of the development stages. This experience helps me understand where we can improve, what our clients truly need, and how to guide our teams to turn ideas into reliable, high-performing products.” Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunities for Teltonika’s telematics division?

„As transport fleets modernise and digital transformation accelerates, the demand for connected telematics solutions is growing rapidly. We see significant potential in new markets, and we are committed to expanding there. As I mentioned, it will be a technological growth as well by creating products for the new market segments.

Today, telematics is more than just knowing a vehicle’s location – it is about the data that drives company growth. Our goal is to help clients identify the insights and features that unlock new possibilities and provide reliable data to support smarter and more informed decisions.”

What values do you bring with you into this next chapter?

“Throughout my journey at Teltonika, I have always believed that respect and trust are the foundation of growth. When people and teams are empowered, they can achieve what no individual could accomplish alone. I am sure that all people want to do good in their own way, you just have to find the courage to trust them.”
