GPS Tracking Without Extra Hardware
OEM telematics allows eligible Volvo Trucks to use built-in vehicle connectivity instead of requiring a separate GPS tracking device. Once the vehicle VIN is confirmed, activation can be completed remotely, helping reduce installation time, hardware costs, and vehicle downtime.
Manage Volvo Truck Data in MyGeotab
With Geotab service from GPS Tracking Canada, Volvo Truck owners can view their fleet data in the MyGeotab platform. Track location, monitor fleet activity, review delivery schedules, measure fuel usage, and access reports that help improve daily operations.
Improve Fleet Visibility and Control
Get a clearer view of how your Volvo Trucks are performing on the road. OEM telematics can help you monitor driving behaviour, vehicle health, engine faults, arrival and departure times, and other key fleet data from one centralized platform.
Reduce Downtime and Simplify Setup
Because the telematics hardware is already built into compatible Volvo Trucks, there is no need for device installation, removal, or reinstallation when switching vehicles. This makes OEM telematics a practical option for fleets looking to save time and simplify GPS tracking setup.
Expand Your Fleet Management Tools
Geotab’s open platform gives Volvo Truck fleets more than basic GPS tracking. Through MyGeotab, APIs, SDK tools, and the Geotab Marketplace, your fleet can expand its solution with reporting, maintenance, compliance, optimization, and integration tools as business needs grow.
