Teletrac Navman has launched a new product that gives customers of its TN360 fleet management solution direct data links to leading vehicle manufacturers.

Dubbed OEM Telematics, the new solution enables customers to connect the TN360 platform with factory-fitted telematics hardware from a wide range of automakers.

This removes the need to take vehicles off the road for aftermarket hardware installation by connecting the data from the embedded vehicle telematics device with TN360, streamlining data access for fleets.

By simply adding a vehicle VIN number into TN360, fleet managers will get access to a wide range of business-critical telematics data, including vehicle ID, location (for visibility and geo-fencing purposes), usage patterns, speed, fuel levels and EV battery state of charge.

Andrew Rossington, chief product officer at Teletrac Navman, said: “This is another example of Teletrac Navman simplifying complex operational challenges for fleets, empowering them with smarter data, faster, from which to make better decisions.”

TN360 is Teletrac Navman’s flagship fleet management platform, enabling fleets to streamline operations, enhance safety and drive sustainability. The new OEM Telematics feature enables fleet operators to simultaneously manage vehicle connections with both factory-fitted and aftermarket hardware, providing standard and advanced telematics data in a single pane view of fleet operations.

OEM Telematics is aimed foremost at high-usage and -turnover fleets, such as rental companies and other widely located operations, where fitting aftermarket hardware can be challenging. It draws on cloud-to-cloud integration with the vehicle manufacturers to bring comprehensive telematics data into a busy fleet operation quickly and effectively

“The rapid growth of built-in telematics in vehicles reflects a broader shift toward connected mobility, where data-driven insights, real-time diagnostics and seamless integration are transforming vehicles into smart, responsive platforms on wheels,” continued Rossington. “Robust data platforms are essential for unlocking the full value of this connectivity through secure, scalable and actionable intelligence.”
