KEY INSIGHTS:
- Jobsite robotics adoption rose sharply in 2026, with some level of use up nearly 45% year-over-year and the pilot-only group nearly tripling, signaling growing awareness and willingness to test the technology.
- Fleet management adoption has grown more consistent, with regular use (excluding pilots) indicated by about two-thirds of organizations and those using it on every project jumping from about 4% to 23%.
- Diesel reliance for heavy equipment appears to be consolidating rather than easing, with exclusive diesel use climbing to 50% this year compared to last year's 37%.
