Telematics involves tracking and analyzing the performance of vehicles and assets through telematic control units (TCUs) embedded within them. These units provide comprehensive monitoring of various aspects such as the vehicle's status, location, driver behavior, engine diagnostics, and precise GPS positioning. By collecting and scrutinizing real-time data from the multitude of vehicles in a fleet, telematics facilitates efficient fleet management and operational oversight.
A Telematic Control Unit (TCU) is essentially a compact onboard computer in your vehicle, capable of tracking an extensive range of details including speed, idling, fuel consumption, low tire pressure, and more. Leveraging this data can lead to significant maintenance cost reductions through enhanced vehicle monitoring or improved fuel efficiency by analyzing driving behaviors.
Telematics devices, along with other connected hardware or sensors, enable the processing and analysis of a wealth of data, such as:
Geotab are entirely universal, compatible with nearly every OEM and encompassing over 9000 different vehicle makes, models, and years. This extensive coverage grants organizations the flexibility to choose their fleet composition without being restricted to a single OEM. It enables the deployment of diverse fleets, including diesel, gas, electric vehicles (EV), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) of various sizes and functions.
Geotab are designed to capture the broadest and richest data streams in the industry, offering fleet managers an enhanced understanding of their vehicles and drivers. This wealth of information translates into greater visibility, improved control, and more favorable business outcomes.
OEM telematic devices offer a streamlined startup process. Their pre-installed nature allows for quick, remote, and contactless activation, making them ready for use without any hassle. This approach eliminates the need for vehicle downtime during installation and avoids any extra expenses for additional hardware.
