What HGV telematics does

The eight core capabilities every modern truck-grade system should ship with.

Live GPS tracking

See every truck on a live map with breadcrumb history, geofences and ETA alerts to despatch and customers.

Remote tachograph download

Pull driver cards and vehicle units over-the-air on the legal 28/90-day cycle — no more dongle runs.

Driver behaviour scoring

Harsh braking, idling, over-revving and cornering tracked per driver, with league tables and coaching reports.

Fuel-burn analytics

MPG by vehicle, route and driver — match against fuel-card transactions to spot drift, theft or misfuelling.

Drivers' hours & WTD

Live remaining drive time, infringement alerts and Working Time Directive reports for transport managers.

AI dashcams & DVR

Forward, in-cab and side cameras with cloud upload — exonerate drivers and slash third-party claim costs.

DVSA earned recognition

Generate the KPIs needed for DVSA Earned Recognition and demonstrate continuous compliance to your TM.

Maintenance & DVCR

Daily walkaround checks on a phone, defect reporting straight to the workshop and PMI scheduling.

Buying guide

Choosing the right system

The market is crowded and contracts can run 36–60 months. Use these checks before you sign.

  • Pick a system that integrates with your fuel-card provider for true MPG vs fuel-spent reporting.
  • Make sure remote tacho download is included — some providers charge per file.
  • Check the AI dashcam can flag mobile-phone use and seatbelt compliance, not just collisions.
  • Look for an open API if you run TMS, route planning or workshop software.
  • Negotiate hardware as a 36-month rental rather than upfront capex.
  • Verify support is UK-based with same-day SIM and unit replacement.
