GPS devices we install

The devices we install

Five models cover everything from a company car to a truck in international transport. No spec sheets here: this is what we use each device for.

Teltonika

FMC003

What we use it for: company cars and small fleets where fast installation matters.

• plugs into the car's diagnostic port, no wiring
• installation takes a minute, moving it to another car takes the same
• location, mileage and driving style
• a good fit for company car tracking and rent-a-car

Teltonika

FMC130

What we use it for: vans, cars and machinery when you want a hidden, hard-wired installation and the option to add sensors.

• hard-wired, hidden from view
• its own battery, so it reports even if the power is cut
• connections for driver identification, temperature sensors and digital sensors
• our most common choice for vans and delivery vehicles

Teltonika

FMC150

What we use it for: vans and trucks when you need data from the vehicle itself, without installing probes.

• reads vehicle data over the CAN bus: fuel level, RPM, mileage
• everything FMC130 does, plus the vehicle's factory data
• quick way to introduce fuel control where a probe is not essential
• for newer vans and trucks

Teltonika

FMC650

What we use it for: trucks and buses in international transport, where tachograph and fuel are tracked alongside location.

• remote tachograph download and live driving time
• truck data over the CAN bus and fuel probes in the tank
• more connections, so temperature, axle load or cameras can be added
• the basis of our truck GPS tracking

Ruptela

HCV5

What we use it for: trucks, buses and heavy vehicles as the Ruptela alternative, with the same capabilities.

• tachograph, vehicle data and fuel sensors
• driver identification and digital sensors
• rugged housing for heavy-duty conditions
• chosen when a fleet already has Ruptela equipment or a specific vehicle calls for it

When needed

Other models too

For boats, trailers, machinery without its own power supply or vehicles that stand for long periods we choose devices with a large battery or a waterproof housing, from the same two ranges.

If you have a vehicle that matches none of the examples on this page, tell us: there is almost certainly a device for it.

Models change over time as manufacturers release new generations. The quote always names the exact model we propose for your vehicles.

Installation

We install the devices at your location, at a time we agree, usually while the vehicle is parked anyway. A hard-wired device is hidden and gets in the way of neither the driver nor the workshop, and an OBD device simply plugs in and can be moved whenever needed.

When parked, the device draws negligible power, so it does not drain the battery even when the vehicle sits for days. When you sell a vehicle, we move the device to the new one. What is charged for that, and how, is on the GPS vehicle tracking price page.

Frequently asked questions about the devices

Which device goes into a passenger car, and which into a truck?

A company car usually gets an OBD device that plugs into the diagnostic port, or an FMC130 when you want a hidden installation. A truck gets a professional device (FMC650 or HCV5) that tracks the tachograph, fuel and vehicle data alongside location. We propose the exact model in the quote.

Does the device drain the battery?

No. While driving it is powered by the vehicle, and when parked it switches to a low-power mode, so the vehicle can sit for days without any effect on the battery.

Does the device work when the vehicle is switched off?

Yes. The device stays connected with the engine off, so you can see where the vehicle is parked and get an alert if it moves. Hard-wired models also have their own battery, so they report even if someone cuts the power.

What if the vehicle has no CAN bus or diagnostic port?

Then a hard-wired device is used, powered directly from the vehicle, and the data you care about, fuel level for example, is measured with a probe instead of read from the vehicle. An older vehicle is not an obstacle.

Is the device visible in the vehicle?

A hard-wired device is hidden and the driver does not notice it in everyday use. An OBD device sits in the diagnostic port, usually under the steering wheel, and can be seen if you look for it.

Can I move the device to another vehicle?

Yes. You move an OBD device yourself; a hard-wired one we move for you, at an agreed time. The subscription and the data history continue on the new vehicle.

Does the device work abroad?

Yes. The SIM card in the device works in roaming, and standard coverage includes Serbia, the EU countries, the UK, the Scandinavian countries and Russia. Details are on the GPS vehicle tracking price page.

Can I buy just the device, without a subscription?

A device without the platform gives you nothing: the data has to arrive somewhere and be processed. That is why the device comes with a subscription, which you can test free for 15 days, and you choose whether to buy or rent the device itself.
