Accurate fleet GPS vehicle tracking

Collect rich, accurate data on vehicle location, speed, trip distance and time, engine idling and more. Even if your vehicle is parked indoors and underground, our fleet GPS vehicle tracking and telematics starts recording as soon as you begin driving. The GO9 introduces the new Global Navigation Satellite System module (GNSS) for faster latch times and enhanced location data accuracy.

Vehicle health assessments

The GO9 delivers valuable information for both EVs and conventional vehicles such as engine health and battery state of charge. Record vehicle identification number (VIN), odometer, engine faults, seatbelt use and more.This data not only helps prioritise fleet maintenance, but also helps audit vehicle use to identify both safe and risky driving habits to improve driver coaching.

Collision detection and notification

Geotab offers exceptional harsh-event data (acceleration, braking, cornering, etc.) and collision reconstruction through our patented algorithms and the GO device’s accelerometer. Collision alerts keep you in the know and provide a detailed summary of events. Detection of a suspected accident will prompt the automatic upload of detailed data from the device to allow for forensic reconstruction of the event. With the additional use of fleet dash cams, companies can leverage real-time HD footage for insurance claims in the event of a collision.

End-to-end cybersecurity

The Geotab platform security provides end-to-end data protection. Security methods include authentication, encryption, and message integrity verification for Geotab GO vehicle telematics devices and network interfaces. Each Geotab GO device uses a unique ID and non-static security key, making it difficult to fake a device’s identity. Over-the-air updates use digitally-signed firmware to verify that updates come from a trusted source.

Intelligent in-vehicle driver coaching

Improve driving habits with real-time, in-vehicle feedback. Set up rules to reduce unwanted driving behaviours like speeding, idling, or not wearing a seat belt. Advance driver safety further by playing an audible alert or coach the driver with spoken words through Geotab GO TALK (available as an Add-On). Immediate feedback can enhance fleet safety, reinforce company policy and encourage your drivers to take immediate corrective action.

Advanced data capture

Vehicles equipped with our vehicle tracking device send data from a multitude of sources, including the engine, drivetrain, instrument cluster and other subsystems. Utilising multiple internal networks, the GO9 captures much of this data.

Simple installation

The Geotab GO9 is a small vehicle tracking device that simply plugs directly into your vehicle’s OBD II port; or via an adapter for those vehicles without. No antenna or wire-splicing required. The device auto-calibrates and installation process is quick, easy, and doesn’t require any special tools, or the assistance of a professional installer.

GPS tracking provides many benefits, including: 

  • Accurate vehicle tracking 
  • Vehicle condition assessments 
  • Collision detection and notification 
  • Secure data 
  • Driver communication 
  • Advanced data capture 

A fleet tracker is a telematics device that works to pull actionable data from the vehicle’s on-board system. It works in conjunction with telematics fleet management software to compile and present data from the vehicle and provide actionable insights.
