Tracker is TrikTraks' proprietary plug-and-play OBD telematics device. It plugs into any commercial vehicle, instantly collecting GPS location, engine diagnostics, driver behaviour, and sensor data — and streaming it securely to FleetMaster and FleetPilot in real time.
Tracker is the physical device that makes TrikTraks' intelligence possible. Without accurate, real-time vehicle data, fleet management is just guesswork. Tracker solves this by plugging directly into the OBD-II port of any commercial vehicle — no wiring, no tools, no downtime.
Once installed, it continuously streams GPS position, engine health data, fuel consumption, harsh event detection, and dozens of other telemetry signals to the TrikTraks cloud — where FleetMaster and FleetPilot transform raw data into actionable intelligence.
Tracker works with any OBD-II equipped vehicle — light commercial, heavy trucks, buses, and specialized equipment. Custom CANbus configurations available for non-standard vehicles.
Precise real-time position with 1-second update intervals. Trip history and breadcrumb trail stored in the cloud.
Continuous speed monitoring, harsh braking detection, rapid acceleration, sharp cornering, and collision sensing.
Precise fuel consumption tracking, idle time detection, and fuel theft alerts. Cut fuel costs by identifying waste in real time.
Full OBD-II fault code reading, RPM, coolant temperature, battery voltage, and DTC monitoring with instant alerts.
Accurate engine-on hours for maintenance scheduling. Works even for equipment where odometer-based scheduling is unreliable.
Device removal alerts, ignition cut-off capability, unauthorized movement detection, and geofence breach notifications.
