ENHANCED NEW OBD OEM DATA FOR ICE VEHICLE MONITORING

11 November 2024

One of the most reliable sources of vehicle data for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles is the on-board diagnostics (OBD) system, which captures a wide range of vehicle parameters. Teltonika FMx003 series OBD trackers are designed to leverage these capabilities, providing access to key OEM data, such as the ‘Remaining Distance’ and 'Distance to Service', among others. These newly available parameters offer a new operational efficiency level for fleet managers and drivers.




KEY DATA INSIGHTS TO IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY


As technology advances, the ability to read original equipment manufacturer (OEM) data has become essential, allowing fleet managers to gain a deeper insight into their vehicles' performance and condition. The ability to provide a ‘Remaining Distance (or range)’ parameter within the available OEM data aims to provide an accurate estimate of how far the vehicle can go before running out of fuel.


By accessing this data in real-time, fleet managers can proactively plan refuelling stops, ensuring vehicles are operating at optimum fuel levels and avoiding costly downtime. For companies with large fleets, this insight into fuel consumption is invaluable, allowing more efficient route planning, improved fuel management and the prevention of unexpected breakdowns due to low fuel levels.


Another key piece of information now available through FMx003 series is the 'Distance to Service' parameter. This feature informs drivers and fleet managers of the distance remaining before a scheduled service or maintenance is due. Access to this data enables timely scheduling of maintenance checks, reducing the risk of unplanned repairs, minimising vehicle downtime and extending the overall lifespan of the fleet.


For businesses focused on maximising efficiency, knowing exactly when a vehicle needs servicing means avoiding unnecessary costs associated with over-maintenance while ensuring that vehicles remain in peak operating condition.



EXTRA VALUE FOR YOUR BUSINESS


These parameters, along with other essential vehicle data provided by FMx003, contribute to a more streamlined fleet management process. By integrating OEM data reading capabilities into your vehicles, you gain greater control over fuel consumption, maintenance schedules and overall vehicle health. In addition, FMx003 series' simple Plug & Play installation gives you immediate access to these advanced features without the need for complicated setups, making it the perfect choice for businesses of all sizes.


As fleet management continues to evolve, the ability to gather detailed OEM data from ICE vehicles will become increasingly important. Teltonika FMx003 series sets a new standard by providing real-time access to parameters, such as the remaining distance to refuel and distance to service, helping businesses stay ahead of the curve in terms of vehicle efficiency and maintenance.


With FMx003 models, the future of fleet management is already here - helping companies make smarter, data-driven decisions, and ultimately improving the overall performance of their fleet operations.
